Over the past few years, Brixton Academy has been the final hurdle at which countless bands have fallen on their ascent to stardom. All-too-often, buckling under the weight of too much hype and too little material, musicians are swallowed up by the size and significance of a venue for which they are simply not prepared. Not so for Wolf Alice.

Less than a year ago, when the band played London's 1,000-capacity Heaven, they told the crowd, "We never thought we would play to this many people." Tonight, there are 5,000 people screaming their name, and Wolf Alice have never looked so at home.

Wolf Alice played:

My Love Is Cool
Your Love's Whore
Freazy
Bros
Soapy Water
Lisbon
Silk
The Wonderwhy
Storms
Swallowtail
Fluffy
She
Moaning Lisa Smile
You're a Germ

Encore:

Turn to Dust
Blush
Giant Peach
