From their first club gigs, the PIXIES have left audiences in shock with their explosive combination of chaos and control. No glamour, no stage speeches – just a raw, sweeping discharge of sound. For many, those first shows were more than concerts: they were revelations, a new way of understanding rock.
LORDE, Grammy winner and one of the most important names in music today, is the new confirmation for the day 11th July on the NOS Stage at NOS Alive’26.
LORDE is a cultural force recognised for her unclassifiable sound, introspective lyricism and singular creative vision. Since her debut with Pure Heroine in 2013, she has redefined the contours of modern pop, combining poetic writing with minimalist, emotionally intense production. To date, she has over 18 billion streams and 18 million albums sold worldwide.
In April 2025, she returned with “What Was That”, her first original release in four years and the first advance for her new album, Virgin. The single debuted to critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching #1 on Spotify in the US – her first number one on the platform since “Royals” – as well as hitting #3 in the UK and #5 globally, reaffirming her place at the forefront of contemporary pop music.
WOLF ALICE are the first confirmed headliners for 10th July at NOS Alive’26. The North London quartet will take to the NOS Stage to present their new album, The Clearing.
Founded in 2013 with the raw euphoria of their debut album My Love Is Cool which included the Grammy-nominated track “Moaning Lisa Smile”, WOLF ALICE have been building one of the most solid careers on the scene today. Their second album, Visions of a Life (2018), consolidated their rise with a Mercury Music Prize win, while Blue Weekend (2022) took them to number one in the UK album charts and the BRIT Award for Best Group.
On August 29, 2025, the group released their fourth album, The Clearing. Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, and written in Seven Sisters, North London, the record presents the band at the peak of their powers – a set of songs of enormous confidence, full of ambition, ideas and emotion.
Throughout their career, WOLF ALICE have toured the world on several sold-out tours, performed on the biggest festival stages and been featured on posters alongside some of the most important names in music.
