Wunderhorse at Reading Festival 2024

Wunderhorse have announced a huge one-off show at London’s Alexandra Palace, taking place next year. Find ticket details below.

Announced today (October 1), the upcoming gig in the capital will mark the band’s biggest headline show to date, and will be held at the 10,250-capacity venue on May 29.

News of the show comes just a month after Jacob Slater and co. shared their highly-anticipated sophomore album ‘Midas’. Reaching the Top 10 in the UK album charts, the record marked the follow-up to Wunderhorse’s acclaimed 2022 debut ‘Cub’.

The 2025 show at Alexandra Palace will also take place after the band’s upcoming UK tour, which is set to kick off later this week and continue throughout the month. The tour commences on Thursday (October 3) with a gig at Nottingham’s Rock City, before continuing with shows in Birmingham and Bristol on October 4 and 5 respectively.

From there, more dates will include stops in Cardiff, London, Oxford, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin, Manchester and more, before wrapping up with a slot at NX in Newcastle on October 20. Currently, all UK tour dates for 2024 are sold out, although if any more becomes available you can find them here.

Earlier this summer, ‘Midas’ was given a four-star review by NME, and described as “a masterclass in the business of evolution”.

“Where that debut album focused on Slater finally becoming the songwriter he had the potential to be, its follow-up reworks and refines his strong storytelling,” it read. “Here, the frontman enriches his lyrics and pairs them with a dash of chaotic energy brought in by his bandmates and the unity between them.

“Though it’s meant to be a second album, ‘Midas’ feels like a fresh start for a group that, through becoming a proper team, has found its way. It may only be a second album, but it looks like the business of Wunderhorse is set to continue to prosper.”

Previously speaking about the creation of the album, frontman Jacob Slater said: “When we first went into the studio to make this record, the only thing we were sure about is how we wanted it to sound; very imperfect, very live, very raw; no frills. We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers like you’ve been locked inside the bass drum.”

Then, speaking to NME after their performance at Reading & Leeds Festival earlier this year, Slater spoke about the band’s evolution in sound since their project.

“It’s just a natural development. We all toured lots together and a natural chemistry sort of happened,” he explained. “A lot of the album was written in the studio. I’d come up with the chords and the basic lyrics, but everyone would be there to sort of put their own unique print on it as it was happening, while [the songs] were still in this embryonic stage, rather than something that had been fully learned and fully realised. So everyone’s personality just naturally comes out a lot more.”
