Wolf Alice fans in Ireland finally get the homecoming they’ve been waiting for. The band will bring The Clearing Tour to Dublin’s 3Arena on December 10, 2025. The show already feels like one of the must-see alternative rock events of next year. This date falls late in the European run, which means Dublin will catch the group at their best: warmed up, sharp, and fearless.
Below is everything that makes this night worth the excitement, from the band’s evolution to the energy this tour promises.
A Band That Refuses to Stand Still
Wolf Alice built their reputation by evolving with each record while keeping the essence of what makes them unique. They formed in London and gained attention with a sound that mixed grunge grit, dreamy textures, and a rare emotional honesty in modern alt-rock. Songs like “Moaning Lisa Smile” and “Bros” introduced the world to a group that could be loud and soft, and everything in between.
Each album pushed them further. “My Love Is Cool“ featured raw guitar lines and explosive choruses. “Visions of a Life“ sharpened their sound and won them the Mercury Prize. “Blue Weekend” offered lush production, cinematic themes, and some of the band’s most impactful writing. Ellie Rowsell stands out as one of rock’s most compelling voices, shifting from whispered vulnerability to a powerful roar with total conviction. Joff Oddie brings a restless guitar style that keeps every track unpredictable, while Theo Ellis and Joel Amey provide a rhythm section that feels both thunderous and agile.
Wolf Alice never settle into a formula, and the tension between beauty and chaos defines their live shows.
Dublin Gets a Prime Tour Moment
The 3Arena date won’t be an early warm-up. By the time the band reaches Dublin, they’ll have tested new songs, refined transitions, and created a setlist that flows with purpose. Dublin crowds tend to be enthusiastic, and the band often delivers some of their most memorable performances in places where the audience matches their energy.
Expect a show that feels alive from the moment the lights go down. The Clearing hints at a rawer, more direct sound, so the new material should resonate powerfully on stage. Wolf Alice also enjoy reworking older tracks after each album cycle, so familiar favorites may take on new forms. They rarely perform a full night without at least one surprise.
Why This Show Matters in Their Story
This tour marks a significant new chapter. Wolf Alice took a break after the Blue Weekend era, and this time away allowed them to shift, rethink, and regroup. The Clearing seems to signal a reset, a chance to embrace something new without losing the roots that made them one of the UK’s most exciting rock acts.
Their Dublin date arrives at an emotional time for fans who have waited through long gaps, canceled tours, and months of wondering what the next era might sound like. The 3Arena gives the band enough space to create something grand, but Wolf Alice always keep the show’s human core intact. They know how to scale up without losing the intimacy that allowed listeners to connect with them from the beginning.
What Fans Can Expect on the Night
You’ll get a selection filled with fresh songs, plus material pulled evenly from each of the three records. One moment she’s whispering like confiding a secret, then suddenly roaring at full intensity. The weight of raw emotion gives way to quiet passages that seem barely held together. Expect fans joining in without hesitation, voices loud and fully present.
Most of all, expect a band that treats each show like its own unique world. Wolf Alice don’t just play concerts. They create moments. On December 10, 2025, Dublin will experience one.
