Wolf Alice are a band to believe in at Reading Festival

Wolf Alice have always been a band comfortable flickering between light and dark. Dialling it up between loud and quiet, they’ve always been an unpredictable beast but after a summer bouncing from huge stadium shows to countless festivals around the world, tonight anything goes.

Wolf Alice making the step up to headline the Radio One stage at Reading Festival is something that’s been on the cards pretty much since the word go. They’ve always been pegged as Future Headliners by other people and since the release of ‘Visions Of A Life’, they’ve carried themselves with a similar, if unspoken, belief. Still, from the dream haze introduction and the fact the gang is lit up one by one, tonight still has that smirking, unpredictable edge. ‘Your Loves Whore’ is deep-rooted and beautiful, and standing on the shoulders of giants, poise and intimacy before the strobe-attack of ‘Yuk Foo’ charges with a renewed, unforgiving roar.
