Seminal British band Wolf Alice have revealed additional dates to their UK headline tour in celebration of their recently announced fourth studio album The Clearing, due out on August 29th. Due to demand, Wolf Alice will play a second show at London’s The O2 on Tuesday 2nd December, and they will also perform at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on Monday 8th December.

Tickets for the newly announced Nottingham show will go on sale at 10am on Friday 13th June, here. Tickets for all other shows are on sale now.

The tour is the band’s most ambitious to date and will see the quartet command some of the biggest and most coveted stages of their decade-long career, including the O2 Arena in London. This summer, Wolf Alice have already performed at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and now look towards Glastonbury before a mammoth tour of North America, Europe and the UK, which runs through from mid-September to mid-December 2025.

In support of UK grassroots artists, venues and promoters, £1 of every ticket from UK arena shows will be donated to the LIVE Trust.

Announcement of the tour follows the release of vivacious first single ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ - accompanied by the iconic Colin Solal Cardo-directed video. The track marked the beginning of an exciting new era for Wolf Alice. A fiercely powerful and fervent introduction to The Clearing, it’s an arresting ode to growth, evolution and expansion in life, music and art. With its rolling bass riff, this first piece of music in three years, is a whip-smart de-testosteroned twist on heavy rock. “I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman,” Ellie Rowsell notes. “I’ve used the guitar as a shield in the past, playing it has perhaps been some way to reject the 'girl singer in band' trope, but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it’s been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don’t feel like I need to prove that I’m a musician.”

The video for ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ is a collaboration with noted alt-pop director Colin Solal Cardo, famous for collaborations with Charli XCX, Robyn, Christine & The Queens and Phoenix. The video deconstructs a classic rock performance by drawing on Bob Fosse and All That Jazz, featuring a brilliant performance from Ellie in the middle of a host of dancers choreographed by Emmy Award-winning choreographer Ryan Heffington (Euphoria, Sia, Kenzo + Margaret Qualley).

Written in Seven Sisters, London and recorded in LA with Grammy-winning, master producer Greg Kurstin last year, The Clearing reveals where Wolf Alice stand sonically in 2025, delivering a supremely confident collection of songs bursting with ambition, ideas and emotion; The Clearing is a truly timeless record.

Wolf Alice have come a long way since the North London quartet first emerged in 2013 as a young band holding a mirror up to their own emerging generation. Today, Wolf Alice’s fourth album The Clearing finds them at the peak of their powers, grown into a band of generational importance. While the bruised euphoria of their debut My Love Is Cool, which featured the Grammy-nominated ‘Moaning Lisa Smile’, both captured and perfectly soundtracked the experience of youth first cutting their musical teeth, 2018’s follow up Visions Of A Life cemented their rise with a Mercury Music Prize, before the precious hurt of 2022’s Blue Weekend and its resultant UK Number 1 and Brit Award for Best Group.
