Wolf Alice Cover Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at Homecoming London Show
The London rock band topped a predominantly female bill and closed with a surprise cover as they marked a major step up in scale.
- On Sunday, July 5, Wolf Alice headlined their largest show to date, performing for 45,000 fans at London's Finsbury Park alongside The Last Dinner Party and Lykke Li.
- Formed 16 years ago by singer Ellie Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie, the band evolved from playing North London basements to stadium performances, winning the Mercury Prize and charting a top album.
- During the tight, 100-minute set, the band featured a giant 40-foot glitterball designed by crew member "Mirrorball Paul." Rowsell told the audience, "I'll love you forever."
- Capping the night, the group surprised fans by covering Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" during the encore, while announcing *The Clearing: B-Sides* arriving August 21st.
- North American tour dates await Wolf Alice later this year, including Lollapalooza and Osheaga appearances, plus support slots on Olivia Rodrigo's Unraveled Tour.
