Wolf Alice Announce Australian Headline Shows

Following the release of their critically acclaimed fourth studio album, The Clearing, UK rockers Wolf Alice are thrilled to announce their return to Australia this December, with the GRAMMY-nominated ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ outfit set for summer headline shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.

Currently in Auckland for 2026’s Laneway Festival, following dates in Japan and China, the North London quartet have cemented their status as one of Britain’s most razor-sharp live bands. Widely praised for their commanding stage presence, the last 12 months have marked a defining chapter for Wolf Alice, including three Brit Awards nominations for Album of the Year, Group of the Year and Alternative / Rock Act. Released in August 2025, The Clearingshowcases a band at the peak of their powers, a sublime widescreen collection of songs that are bold in ambition, full of heart, and the band’s most refined work yet.

Having made their triumphant return to the global festival circuit with historic sets at Primavera Sound, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and a sunset performance at Glastonbury, Wolf Alice’s live momentum carried into a massive run of sold-out headline dates across North America, Europe, the UK and Ireland, culminating in the biggest shows of the band’s career to date – including a headline performance at London’s O2 Arena. Following their festival sets this month, Wolf Alice will perform in Mexico and Brazil in May, before embarking on a huge run of European and UK festival dates from June to August.

Following a potent trio of singles ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’, ‘The Sofa’ and ‘White Horses’ – each unveiling a distinct sonic direction – The Clearing arrived as a moment of crystallisation for one of the UK’s most inventive and emotionally charged bands. Critics were unanimous in their praise upon the album’s release:

‘And therein lies the real beauty of The Clearing: after over a decade growing together as a band, this fourth album sees Wolf Alice fully embrace all facets of themselves, and through this newfound acceptance and confidence, they’ve produced their boldest, most striking record yet” – DIY ★★★★★

‘Fittingly, it’s a record that builds on everything the four-piece have done so far on their musical journey and moves it forward in an assured, accomplished way that can only be achieved with time and experience’ – NME ★★★★★

About Wolf Alice

Wolf Alice have come a long way since the North London quartet first emerged in 2013 as a young band holding a mirror up to their own emerging generation. Today, they stand as one of the most important and consistently acclaimed British bands of the past decade. Their fourth album The Clearing finds Wolf Alice at the peak of their powers – a confident, emotionally rich record that topped the UK Albums Chart on release last summer and since earned them a spot on the shortlist for the 2025 Mercury Prize, marking an extraordinary four nominations across their four-album career. Following the Grammy-nominated My Love Is Cool, the Mercury Prize-winning Visions Of A Life and the UK Number 1, BRIT Award-winning Blue Weekend, The Clearing signals a band who have transcended the trend cycle to arrive at a collection of songs that is truly timeless.

Written in Seven Sisters and recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, The Clearing captures a moment of clarity, peace and hard-won self-knowledge, delivered with the ambition and melodic authority that have become synonymous with Wolf Alice. Since its release, the band have celebrated the album with their most ambitious global tour to date, playing landmark festival sets at Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend before taking to some of the biggest stages of their career across North America, Europe, the UK and Ireland, and most recently Asia. Entering 2026, Wolf Alice have been recognised with BRIT Award nominations for Best British Group, Album of the Year and Alternative Rock, cementing their status as a generational band still growing, evolving and pushing forward together.
