Wolf Alice, Britain’s Hottest Live Band, Announce a Sydney Headline Show

Following the release of their critically acclaimed fourth studio album, The Clearing, UK rockers WOLF ALICE have today announced their return to Australia this December, with the GRAMMY-nominated ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ outfit set for a summer headline show, On The Steps at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.

Currently touring for 2026’s Laneway Festival, following dates in Japan and China, the North London quartet have cemented their status as one of Britain’s most razor-sharp live bands. Widely praised for their commanding stage presence, the last 12 months have marked a defining chapter for Wolf Alice, including three Brit Awards nominations for Album of the Year, Group of the Year and Alternative / Rock Act. Released in August 2025, The Clearing showcases a band at the peak of their powers, a sublime widescreen collection of songs that are bold in ambition, full of heart, and the band’s most refined work yet.

Having made their triumphant return to the global festival circuit with historic sets at Primavera Sound, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and a sunset performance at Glastonbury, Wolf Alice’s live momentum carried into a massive run of sold-out headline dates across North America, Europe, the UK and Ireland, culminating in the biggest shows of the band’s career to date – including a headline performance at London’s O2 Arena. Following their festival sets on Laneway this month, Wolf Alice will perform in Mexico and Brazil in May, before embarking on a huge run of European and UK festival dates from June to August.

General public tickets on sale Wednesday, February 11 at 11am.

A Live Nation pre-sale will commence Monday, February 9 at 11am, concluding Wednesday, February 11 at 10am. For tickets and information, head to http://livenation.com.au/.

Following a potent trio of singles ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’, ‘The Sofa’ and ‘White Horses’ – each unveiling a distinct sonic direction – The Clearing arrived as a moment of crystallisation for one of the UK’s most inventive and emotionally charged bands. Critics were unanimous in their praise upon the album’s release:

‘And therein lies the real beauty of The Clearing: after over a decade growing together as a band, this fourth album sees Wolf Alice fully embrace all facets of themselves, and through this newfound acceptance and confidence, they’ve produced their boldest, most striking record yet” – DIY ★★★★★

‘Fittingly, it’s a record that builds on everything the four-piece have done so far on their musical journey and moves it forward in an assured, accomplished way that can only be achieved with time and experience’ – NME ★★★★★
