Wolf Alice are returning to North America with a single, high-profile date that’s already shaping up to be one of the summer’s must-see rock shows. The British band will headline New York City’s Pier 17 on July 29, marking their lone confirmed North American appearance of the season. Artist and fan pre-sale begins Wednesday, February 11 at 10 a.m. EST, with general on-sale following Friday, February 13 at 10 a.m. EST.
The show arrives in the wake of the band’s acclaimed fourth album, The Clearing, which is out now. The record — written in London’s Seven Sisters and recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin — finds Wolf Alice at their most assured, balancing emotional introspection with the melodic muscle that has become their calling card. Upon its release last year, The Clearing topped the U.K. Albums Chart and earned a spot on the 2025 Mercury Prize shortlist, making Wolf Alice one of the only bands to receive nominations for all four of their albums.
Fresh off a sold-out North American tour, the band are also in the midst of a banner awards season. They’re nominated for three BRIT Awards — Best British Album, British Group, and Alternative/Rock Act — and are set to perform at the ceremony on February 28 in Manchester. In a separate bit of cross-genre buzz, frontwoman Ellie Rowsell recently contributed backing vocals to Harry Styles’ new track “Aperture.”
Since emerging from North London in 2013, Wolf Alice have evolved from precocious indie upstarts into one of the most consistently lauded British bands of their generation. With landmark festival sets at Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend behind them — and a globe-spanning tour in support of The Clearing — the Pier 17 date feels less like a victory lap and more like another statement of intent from a band still very much in motion.

For tickets to the The Rooftop show at Pier 17 artist pre-sales are here beginning Wednesday, while general on-sale begins Friday the 13th at 10am EST here.
