The Mercury Award winners had issued a desperate plea on social media after the flight they were due to get from Los Angeles was cancelled.

The video included a tag for London Heathrow, suggesting they are flying to that airport before legging it over to Worthy Farm. Yesterday, the band who won the 2018 Mercury Prize issued a desperate plea for help after their flight from Los Angeles to Britain was cancelled. They are on the bill which is being headlined by Billie Eilish tonight.

Don't jump to conclusions though, Blue Lullaby is far from a regular acoustic album. As the name suggests the new takes on old songs are not just meant to be ...

You wouldn’t expect there to be room for a string quartet to fit by a baby’s bedside, so the most important part of a lullaby is usually the vocals and Ellie Roswell’s angelic vocals fit all the tracks perfectly. When I first listened to Blue Weekend, I was just finishing my first year of university in London and facing a move back home for the summer. As the name suggests the new takes on old songs are not just meant to be covers that we expect with a stripped back acoustic guitar and vocals, they are meant to be calming lullabies that soothe and nurture us.

So when Wolf Alice announced Blue Lullaby, an EP featuring stripped-down lullaby versions of songs from their 2021 album Blue Weekend, needless to say, I was ...

Similarly, ‘Lipstick on the Glass (Lullaby Version)’ is nothing short of jaw-dropping, and almost puts the original version to shame. What’s more, Blue Lullaby displays Rowsell’s voice in a way the original album — or, for that matter, a lot of their discography — unfortunately, does not. The first two and a half minutes of ‘The Last Man on Earth (Lullaby Version)’, for example, sound almost exactly the same as the original. Rowsell’s cries of “Nothing else is as important/ As that to me” in the chorus of ‘How Can I Make It OK (Lullaby Version)’ are a prime example of this. If Blue Weekend captures the haze of leaving the club after a night out, Blue Lullaby captures the feeling of finding refuge in a bathroom stall in the club when the music is too loud. Blue Lullaby provides a breather for when the original album is a bit too much.

Taking some of their more emotional songs from the 2021 album Blue Weekend, Wolf Alice has turned them into lullabies on a new EP.

Their new EP, titled Blue Lullaby, seeks to explore the emotional power of these songs in a different genre and style from their original work. Right now, they're playing at the Glastonbury Festival in England after a frantic encounter with delayed flights. Led by singer Ellie Rowsell, the band formed in 2010.

The alt-rock band are set to play Glastonbury today, ahead of Billie Eilish and Sam Fender.

The band took to Twitter for help after their flight from Los Angeles to London was cancelled. The band have since shared a series of excited Instagram stories, with one tagging their location as Heathrow, London. The band are set to play at 4:45pm on the Pyramid Stage today ahead of Billie Eilish and Sam Fender. The last time the band played the festival was in 2016. English band Wolf Alice have finally touched down in the UK ahead of their Glastonbury set, after a cancelled flight left them stranded in the US.

It's when Wolf Alice slow things down – allowing the nuances of Roswell's gossamer voice to be fully appreciated – that they are at their most potent.

As they finish with a startlingly beautiful rendition of “Don’t Delete the Kisses”, from their second album Visions of a Life, it’s clear that the future of guitar music is in safe hands. It’s when Wolf Alice slow things down – allowing the nuances of Roswell’s gossamer voice to be fully appreciated – that they are at their most potent. There’s room, too, for the claustrophobic “Silk”, in which Roswell tells us “my loving kills me slowly”, and “The Last Man on Earth”, during which Roswell sits at the front of the stage, again flexing those vocals over twinkling pianos. “Let’s have some fun,” she beams, before launching into “You’re a Germ”, a propulsive track about sexual exploitation from their debut album My Love is Cool. She cackles, yelps, struts. “Smile”, with its crunching guitars and Rowsell’s almost rap-like delivery, is the defibrillator to rouse the crowd from a mid-afternoon lull. Folk, grunge and electronica also fall into the mix.

Wolf Alice have arrived in the UK for their Glastonbury set after desperately asking fans for a private jet due to their LA flight being cancelled.

After a gruelling travel experience, Ellie Rowsell and co confirmed they had arrived back in London on their Instagram Story, just hours ahead of their performance on the Pyramid Stage. The 'Moaning Lisa Smile' group feared not being able to make it back in time for their performance at Worthy Farm on Friday (24.06.22) after their flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow Airport was cancelled and they were left stranded. Wolf Alice have landed back on British soil in time for their Glastonbury set after their flight was cancelled.

The band shared updates on their social media of their chaotic journey from America to the festival in Somerset.

“We hope you have the best weekend. On Friday morning, the band provided further updates on their chaotic journey in a series of videos on their Instagram story. However, after taking to the stage frontwoman Ellie Rowsell said: “Wow, you have no idea.

The band make it through travel chaos to deliver a stunning Pyramid Stage set. Read the NME review.

Throughout their hour on the Pyramid, Wolf Alice show time and again how much they’ve grown into the role of one of the biggest and best bands in the country. Along the way, though, they sprinkle tender moments into proceedings, giving emotional whiplash as they go from drumming up big sentiments during the rain-soaked stomping crescendo of ‘How Can I Make It OK?’ to the snarling, screeching ‘Play The Greatest Hits’, introduced by Rowsell as being “about going out and getting shitfaced”. Watching Wolf Alice live and living up to the occasion of sets that increase in status year-on-year is always a gift, but the will-they-or-won’t-they nature of today’s performance only makes that feeling stronger.
