Wolf Alice Announce Massive Finsbury Park Homecoming- Their Biggest Show Yet

Wolf Alice have announced a massive homecoming show at London’s Finsbury Park for this summer, marking a career-defining moment for the North London four-piece.

The band will return to the capital on Sunday, July 5th, in support of their Mercury-shortlisted and BRIT-nominated latest album, last year’s 'The Clearing'. The performance serves as a victory lap for an era that has seen them cemented as one of the most vital acts in British guitar music.

A Powerhouse Supporting Lineup

Wolf Alice have curated an impeccable bill that showcases the best of the current indie and alt-pop landscape:

• The Last Dinner Party: Twelve months after their breakout year, the quintet returns to the stage with two monumental bodies of work. While their debut 'Prelude to Ecstasy' was an "archaeology of self" defined by baroque-pop decadence and indie bangers like 'Burn Alive', and 'Nothing Matters', their follow-up 'From The Pyre' marks a darker, more elemental maturation. Swapping opulent tables for a charred, mythic landscape, the new record explores themes of regeneration and destruction through "gospellic" harmonies and "sultry murder ballads" like 'This Is The Killer Speaking' and operatic masterpieces like 'The Sycthe'
• Keo: A rising force in the London alternative scene, the Devon-formed four-piece has built a reputation for intense, high-friction live shows. Drawing frequent comparisons to the grit of 'Wunderhorse', the band's recent EP 'Siren' is a masterclass in 90s-inflected alt-rock. Standout tracks include 'Thorn', a "turning point" single born from heavy life experience and betrayal, and 'Hands', which channels the organic, melodic vulnerability of early Nirvana.
• Florence Road: Representing a golden age for Irish music, this all-female four-piece from Bray is the next essential act to emerge from the Emerald Isle. Following in the footsteps of Fontaines D.C., Inhaler, NewDad, Gurriers, Cardinals, and Sprints, they bring a "sea-weathered grit" to the stage. Blending "grunge-pop" textures with the raw vocal power of 'The Cranberries', they arrive at Finsbury Park following a nomination for the BBC Sound of 2026 and a massive co-sign from Olivia Rodrigo.
• Lykke Li & Rachel Chinouriri: The bill is rounded out by the cinematic pop of Lykke Li and the sharp, indie-soul storytelling of Rachel Chinouriri, ensuring the day is a comprehensive showcase of modern alternative excellence.

A Packed 2026 Schedule

The big gig follows Wolf Alice’s 2025 UK and Ireland arena tour, which wrapped up last month after a successful run of dates across Europe and North America. Before they hit the park, fans have plenty of chances to catch them:

• March: They will play the 'Trans Mission' charity show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.
• March: They are set to headline the prestigious Teenage Cancer Trust series at the Royal Albert Hall.
• Summer Festivals: Their 2026 schedule includes bill-topping slots at 'Tramlines Festival', 'Kendal Calling', and 'Eden Sessions', alongside major appearances at 'TRNSMT', 'Mad Cool', and 'NOS Alive'.

BRIT Awards, Global Superstars and 'Help(2)'

The announcement comes as the band continues to dominate the critical conversation. Following the massive success of 'The Clearing', Wolf Alice have secured three major nominations at the BRITs 2026: Group Of The Year, Mastercard Album Of The Year, and Alternative/Rock Act.

Beyond the band’s collective triumphs, frontwoman Ellie Rowsell has become a pivotal figure in the year's biggest humanitarian and pop projects. She is a core contributor to the star-studded 'Help(2)' charity album for War Child, a landmark 23-track collection produced by James Ford. Aiming to capture the urgency of the 1995 original, the album was recorded during an intensive week at Abbey Road Studios while Ford remarkably oversaw sessions remotely from an ICU bed.

Rowsell’s involvement in 'Help(2)' sees her joining a modern vanguard that includes Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo, and Fontaines D.C. The project serves as a vital intervention for the 520 million children worldwide currently affected by conflict, a figure that has nearly doubled since the first 'Help' album was released thirty years ago.

Most notably, Rowsell’s ethereal vocals are a centrepiece of Harry Styles’ massive comeback single, 'Aperture'. The track, a sprawling, five-minute "alternative-pop odyssey", signals a bold departure for Styles, leaning into a "neon-lit intersection of dancefloor euphoria and late-night introspection."

Drawing comparisons to the jittery tension of LCD Soundsystem and the glitch-pop of 'Notes on a Conditional Form', era The 1975, the song relies on Rowsell to provide a crucial emotional anchor. Her harmonies during the soaring "let’s the light in" refrain have been praised for grounding the track’s metallic, Charli XCX-inspired synths with a familiar warmth. As Styles navigates themes of fame and privacy through the metaphor of a camera lens, Rowsell’s presence helps transform the "glitchy complexity" into one of the most powerful choruses of his career.
