Alternative rock legend Wolf Alice returns

Following their critically acclaimed debut at London Calling, enthusiastic club concerts at Tivoli and Doornroosje, and numerous performances at Best Kept Secret, Wolf Alice will play their biggest concert in the Netherlands on November 23, 2025. Thousands of fans of the British band can enjoy the concert, which is part of the headliners’ major world tour.

The foundation of the band

Ellie Rowsell and Geoff Oddy founded Wolf Alice in 2010. The English author and journalist Angela Carter’s work is where the moniker “Wolf Alice” originates. In 2012, they published their first mini-album, Wolf Alice, which featured the lead track, “Leaving You.” Joel Aimee (drums) and Theo Ellis (bass guitar) joined the group that same year.

Chess club label

In February 2013, the band signed a contract with Chess Club Records. Later that year, they released their second EP, Blush. Wolf Alice performed at the 2013 London Calling Festival at Paradiso in Amsterdam and were considered one of the most impressive acts. Their third EP, Creature Songs, was released in 2014.

My love is awesome

Wolf Alice released their debut album My Love Is Cool in June 2015. The album contains several songs from their previous EPs, which are being reissued. For example, the track “Bros” was released in 2013, but it also appears on the debut album, this time in its final version.

The Great Return

Wolf Alice https://znaki.fm/teams/wolf-alice/ is back. More than four years after the release of their last album, Blue Weekend, they have released their long-awaited fourth album, titled The Clearing. This is their first album since moving from Dirty Hit to Sony Music.

The album also feels like a return, as if the band took a step back in order to evolve further and get to the essence of who they are. This last point seems to be a theme that runs through the entire album: the band members have learned who they are and what they stand for through trial and error over the past few years. In the previously released “Bloom Bloom Baby,” Ellie Rowsell sings, “Oh, I’m angry, I’m starting to think it was me who was bad. But I’m not a bottle in a paper bag, I’m just who I am.” In the song “White Horses,” which was previously released as a single, Rowsell also reflects on how certain choices have shaped her life: “It’s my choice to choose who I accept as my family.”

Wolf Alice is known as a raw band that refuses to censor or embellish their feelings to their audience. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like you’re reading a page from someone’s diary, but rather like part of a therapy session where someone is pouring their heart out. For example, the 33-year-old frontwoman strikes a sincere chord by sharing her feelings about aging in the song “Play It Out” — what it’s like to lose people and become infertile: “I want to grow old with excitement. To feel my world expanding. To turn gray and feel joy.”
