ANNOUNCE HUGE HOMECOMING SHOW
LONDON FINSBURY PARK // SUNDAY 5 JULY
As they celebrate an incredible three BRIT Awards nominations and what has been an undeniably career-best year for the seminal British band, WOLF ALICE are overjoyed to announce a huge homecoming show at North London’s Finsbury Park on Sunday 5 July, their biggest to date.
Currently rounding off a global tour that has taken them across North America, Europe, Asia and now Australia and South America, Wolf Alice are excited to be returning to home turf to have fun in a field with fans once again this summer. The huge outdoor event will feature very special guest performances from The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo and Florence Road.
Tickets go on pre-sale on WEDNESDAY 28 JANUARY at 10AM GMT and on general sale on FRIDAY 30 JANUARY at 10AM GMT HERE.
The release of the band’s fourth studio album, The Clearing, in August cemented their place in global music culture. An album bursting with ambition, ideas and emotion, it was received with huge critical acclaim, reached #1 on the UK album charts and was shortlisted for the coveted Mercury Prize – their fourth nomination across their 10-year career, making Wolf Alice the only band in Mercury Prize history to achieve a 100% nomination rate across their discography. This year has also seen them nominated in three categories at the BRIT Awards: Alternative / Rock Act, Group of the Year and the biggie – Mastercard Album of the Year.
