Wolf Alice gearing up for their Ireland shows.

These intimate dates mark the band’s first live performances since late 2022, setting the stage for their major festival slots at Glastonbury 2025 in June and BBC Radio One’s One Big Weekend later this month.

A New Chapter is on the Horizon

The buzz around Wolf Alice’s next era started last month when the London band switched up their official logo across social media. Alongside this, they teased fans with some fresh lyrics and an instrumental snippet from a forthcoming track, hinting at new sounds on the way.

Ellie Rowsell and the band kept the excitement alive by sharing a playlist of influences inspiring their new material and releasing fresh press photos that capture the mood of their upcoming era.

Their new single, Bloom Baby Bloom, is officially dropping this Thursday, May 15, at 6:30 PM — and it sounds like it’s going to be something special.

“Every flower needs to neighbour with the dirt”

— Lyrics from Bloom Baby Bloom

The song’s raw and poetic lines continue:
“Do I have to make you, sit on your hands
Fucking baby, baby man
Do you want me to show you, who I am
See this fire in my eyes boy
That’s your flash in the pan.”

Fresh Music After a Stellar Album

Bloom Baby Bloom is Wolf Alice’s first new music since their critically acclaimed 2021 album Blue Weekend. That record wasn’t just a fan favorite—it soared to Number One on the UK charts and earned a Mercury Prize nomination.

Critics loved Blue Weekend, with glowing five-star reviews calling it “a masterpiece full of confidence and magic.” It also snagged the Number Three spot on a major best-of-the-year list, cementing Wolf Alice’s place in modern rock royalty.

New Label, New Horizons

Earlier this year, Wolf Alice sealed a deal with major label Columbia Records after wrapping up their three-album run with independent label Dirty Hit. This move signals a fresh chapter and bigger ambitions for the band’s future work.
