The energy was electric at Finsbury Park on Sunday as Wolf Alice delivered a masterclass in indie rock grandeur. With their setlist packed to the brim with fan favourites and new material, this North London quartet proved once again why they're one of the most exciting acts on the UK circuit. But it was a jaw-dropping Nirvana cover that left thousands in attendance gagging for air – a thrilling surprise that sent shockwaves through the crowd.
The setlist was a love letter to their Mercury Prize-shortlisted and BRIT Award-nominated album, 'The Clearing', with tracks like 'Bloom Baby Bloom' and 'Just Two Girls' getting the audience on their feet. But it wasn't just about the hits – Wolf Alice also gave a tour debut to new track 'White Leather', while Ellie Rowsell's vocals soared on fan favourite 'Gospel Oak', a nod to the nearby North London area.
It's no secret that Wolf Alice have been making waves in the UK music scene, but their impact extends far beyond our shores. With four Mercury Prize nominations under their belt and a historic achievement of being the first band to get nominated for all their first four albums, they're setting new standards for emerging talent.
After a whirlwind period that's seen them perform on SNL UK and close out the 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust series at the Royal Albert Hall, Wolf Alice are gearing up to celebrate the first anniversary of 'The Clearing' in August. And if that wasn't enough, they're also set to support pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo on her 'Unraveled Tour', alongside other notable acts.
