Wolf Alice release their third album, Blue Weekend, on June 4, 2021, via Dirty Hit. The record follows 2017's Visions of a Life and was produced by Markus Dravs.

Blue Weekend expands the London band's alternative rock with ballads, electronic textures and more ambitious arrangements. The Last Man on Earth, Smile and No Hard Feelings preceded the release.

The album was received as one of the group's most complete works, with lyrics about love, fame and self-knowledge and production that foregrounds Ellie Rowsell's voice.
