Wolf Alice close epic Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall concert series

Band of the moment Wolf Alice put in a fittingly epic performance to close the legendary Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall series – at the invitation of guest curator Robert Smith.

From March 23-29, other headliners selected by The Cure legend include elbow, Mogwai, Manic Street Preachers, my bloody valentine and Garbage, as well as a night of Robert Smith’s Comedy Favourites. 

Having picked up the Brit Award for Group Of The Year, Wolf Alice were the perfect act to close this year’s concerts. Ellie Rowsell, Joff Oddie, Joel Amey and Theo Ellis commanded the stage, leading out with ‘Heavenward’, ‘White Horses’, ‘Just Two Girls’, as well as a striking version of ‘How Can I Make It Okay’.

“Thank you so, so much for coming here tonight. It means so much to us that we got to play this show that we got to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust,” Rowsell told the crowd before a euphoric finale. “Thank you for allowing us to play songs we haven’t played for some time and some we haven’t played forever. This last one is called ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’.”
