It has been a busy period for WOLF ALICE, one that has solidified their status as one of Britain’s most beloved bands. The band recently launched a collaboration with Bleach London for their new limited-edition hair dye – https://store.wolfalice.co.uk/products/bleach-ldn-x-blue-weekend-set – bundled with cassette of BLUE WEEKEND; were named as the Friday headliner of Latitude 2021, their largest festival headline show to date; and graced the cover of the Evening Standard Magazine. In May, they opened the Live A Worthy Farm livestream with a stirring performance at Glastonbury’s Stone Circle.

In 2022 the band are heading out on a full UK and Ireland tour, with the majority of shows sold out within hours. A number of news shows have now been added.

Wolf Alice are ELLIE ROWSELL (vocals and guitar) JOFF ODDIE (guitar and vocals) THEO ELLIS (bass) and JOEL AMEY (drums and vocals). It has been a decade since the band began as a duo of Ellie and Joff, later expanding to a four-piece with Joel and Theo joining the group.

The band have since seen their 2015 debut album My Love Is Cool soar to #2 on the UK album charts, their sophomore album Visions of a Life also reach #2 and win the 2018 Hyundai Mercury Prize. The band also played a massive 187 shows on the Visions of a Life world tour, including a sold-out Alexandra Palace in London, two sold-out dates at Brixton Academy and a set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

It was little surprise that creating a follow up to Visions of a Life was daunting. The band decamped to an Airbnb in Somerset, where they reconfigured who they were together, far away from festival stages, tour buses, awards shows and fans. They cemented their friendship and set to work on some fledgling demos in a converted church. These demos evolved into BLUE WEEKEND, produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Bjork, Brian Eno, Florence and The Machine) who has aided the band in refining their sound to an even sharper point. Rowsell’s personal storytelling is at the core of BLUE WEEKEND, an album that sees Wolf Alice embrace a newfound boldness and vulnerability in equal measure.

BLUE WEEKEND is released on 4 June 2021 via Dirty Hit and will be available on all DSPs, vinyl, CD and cassette: https://wolfalice.co.uk/blueweekend/
