Wolf Alice's latest release is music to our ears - a tantalising new track called 'Gospel Oak', plucked from the upcoming collection of B-sides titled 'The Clearing'. This thrilling news comes just days before their highly-anticipated homecoming gig at Finsbury Park this Sunday, July 5. The Mercury Prize-nominated band is gearing up to take the stage in front of a crowd that's sure to go wild.
'Gospel Oak' sets the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable setlist, showcasing the band's effortless blend of delicate piano-driven melodies and folk-inspired rhythms. With its roots in the North London area, Ellie Rowsell has described 'Gospel Oak' as a song born from childhood memories and schoolroom sing-alongs - a poignant reminder that some of our most treasured tunes are often the ones we learned in those early years.
The band's affection for these hidden gems is palpable, with each track having been carefully crafted during the 'The Clearing' sessions but ultimately left on the cutting room floor. The 7-inch B-sides package will be available digitally in the coming weeks, with a physical release scheduled for August 21 - a fitting anniversary celebration of their critically-acclaimed album.
Wolf Alice's Finsbury Park headline show this Sunday is shaping up to be an unmissable event, with supporting acts Florence Road, Keo, Rachel Chinouriri, Lykke Li, and The Last Dinner Party getting the party started from 12pm. Gates will open at midday, with Wolf Alice taking centre stage at a thrilling 7:50pm.
The band's previous album, 'The Clearing', marked a major milestone in their career, securing them not one but two UK Number One albums and earning them a coveted Mercury Prize nomination. This weekend's gig will be the perfect opportunity for fans to come together and celebrate the band's enduring success - from Biffy Clyro's Friday night extravaganza to Kasabian's Saturday headliner and now Wolf Alice's eagerly-anticipated Sunday show.
Beyond their UK exploits, Wolf Alice is set to join forces with Olivia Rodrigo on her 'Unraveled Tour' later this year, supporting the pop sensation alongside other special guests. This latest news is just another testament to the band's unstoppable momentum - and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.
