Wolf Alice‘s return to Glastonbury 2025 has got fans excited, with many speculating that new music is likely on the way.

The band were confirmed this morning (March 6) to make an appearance at Worthy Farm alongside headliners Neil Young, The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo and acts including Charli XCX, Biffy Clyro and Noah Kahan from June 27 to 29.

The performance is the band’s only confirmed live date of 2025 so far, having wrapped up their ‘Blue Weekend’ tour in 2022 before playing an intimate charity show at London’s Sebright Arms the following September.

Activity on their social media has been quiet but many fans on a Reddit thread are now speculating that new music could be set to drop.

“Hopefully this means the new album is coming,” one wrote, while another added: “We are so back!!! Hope we hear something of the new music soon.”

Fans on X also said they were expecting a new album to follow with one writing: “Wolf alice at glasto…. SURELY THAT MEANS A NEW ALBUM OTW.”

Another added: “Ooh Wolf Alice playing Glastonbury New music on the way?” while one other fan wrote: “Wolf Alice is playing Glastonbury SOMETHING IS COMING.”

It comes just weeks after the band split from independent label Dirty Hit and signed with Columbia Records.

They released 2015’s ‘My Love Is Cool’, 2017’s Mercury Prize-winning ‘Visions Of A Life’ and 2021’s ‘Blue Weekend’ with their former label.

Last time they played Glastonbury in 2022, they almost didn’t make it after their flight from Los Angeles was cancelled the night before.

They eventually did manage to make to it to Worthy Farm “by the skin of their teeth” though with NME awarding their Pyramid Stage set five stars.

The review added: “’We didn’t know if we were gonna make it here so this is very emotional and surreal’, frontwoman Ellie Rowsell tells us, disbelief ringing through her voice. ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ brings things to a glittering, glorious close – a reminder of what we could have missed had Wolf Alice not made it to Worthy Farm and a beautiful cap on a masterful performance from a band who seem ready to level up to even bigger peaks come next festival season.”

More recently Rowsell scored a new short film titled HERMIT, which stars Emma Corrin while the band also recently looked back at their breakthrough EP ‘Creature Songs’ – 10 years after its initial release.
