Wolf Alice are coming home — and they’re doing it in the biggest way imaginable. Fresh from a year that’s seen them sweep critical acclaim, top the UK charts and land three major BRIT Award nominations, the London quartet have announced a huge headline show at Finsbury Park on Sunday 5 July. It will be the largest show of their career so far, a milestone moment for a band who have spent the past decade quietly — and then not-so-quietly — becoming one of Britain’s most important modern acts.

The announcement lands as Wolf Alice wrap up a globe-spanning tour that’s taken them across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. After months of sold-out rooms and festival stages, the band are returning to North London for a celebration on home turf — a chance to “have fun in a field” with the fans who have grown with them from basement venues to global stages.

They’re not coming alone. The Finsbury Park bill reads like a snapshot of the most exciting corners of alternative music right now, with The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo and Florence Road all joining the festivities. It’s a lineup that mirrors Wolf Alice’s own eclecticism: theatrical art-rock, spectral pop, rising UK soul, and new voices pushing boundaries in every direction.

Tickets go on pre-sale Wednesday 28 January at 10AM GMT, with general sale opening Friday 30 January at 10AM GMT via the band’s official site.

The homecoming show caps off a landmark chapter for Wolf Alice. Their fourth album, The Clearing, released in August, didn’t just reaffirm their status — it elevated them into rarefied territory. The record debuted at #1 on the UK album charts, earned widespread critical acclaim, and secured the band their fourth Mercury Prize nomination. No other band in the award’s history has achieved a 100% nomination rate across their entire discography.

The BRITs have taken notice too. Wolf Alice are up for Alternative/Rock Act, Group of the Year, and the coveted Mastercard Album of the Year — a trio of nominations that reflect both their artistic ambition and their cultural impact.

Critics have been unanimous: The Clearing is Wolf Alice at their most confident, expansive and emotionally resonant.

“Another perfectly pitched stepping stone to edge them even closer to full-on legendary status.” — DIY (5★)

For a band who have always thrived on evolution — from the snarling urgency of My Love Is Cool to the widescreen ambition of Blue Weekend and the emotional clarity of The Clearing — Finsbury Park feels like the natural next chapter. A celebration of everything they’ve built, everything they’ve risked, and everything they’ve become.
