Glastonbury 2025: Wolf Alice preview songs from new album ‘The Clearing’ in Other Stage set
Wolf Alice previewed tracks from their upcoming album ‘The Clearing’ during their Other Stage set at Glastonbury 2025.
The London band have played the Worthy Farm festival multiple times over the past 10 years, but never before a larger crown than that which gathered at the second stage on Sunday evening (June 29).
Among their crowd-pleasing set was their latest single ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’, the first official release from their upcoming fourth album ‘The Clearing’, which is set to be released on August 29 via Sony (pre-order/pre-save here). A UK and Ireland arena tour is due to follow later in the year (find dates and ticket info here).
Beyond ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’, they also gave another airing to the yet-to-be-released track ‘The Sofa’, a track they first debuted on stage at an intimate show in Paris earlier this month. The lush, string-laden track offers a glimpse of what might prove to be the slower side of ‘The Clearing’.
Elsewhere in the set, Wolf Alice transitioned out of ‘How Can I Make It OK?’ and gave the crowd an ideal Sunday evening singalong with a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’ – watch below.

“I say it every time, but this festival really is the best place on earth, so thank you for coming to watch us again,” bassist Theo Ellis told the crowd, before they played ‘Giant Peach’, complete with incorporated riffs of ‘Seven Nation Army’ and ‘Iron Man’.
“Before we go, we want to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine,” said frontwoman Ellie Rowsell, before they closed out with ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’.

This year’s Glastonbury has seen outspoken politics sets from the likes of Kneecap and Amyl & The Sniffers, as well as a Bob Vylan performance that the festival itself said it was “appalled” by due to frontman Bobby Vylan leading chants of “death to the IDF”.
Elsewhere, The 1975 “delivered a reminder of their chops for tunes and showmanship” during their Friday night Pyramid headline slot, Neil Young “proved there is still power to be found in an old-school approach” the following night, while Charli XCX delivered a final victory lap for her ‘Brat’ era on the Other Stage on Saturday night.
