Julia Wolf

Julia Wolf plays Stylus, Lifton Place, Leeds, on 20 November 2026, with a set that puts voice and writing first. The Queens-born, Italian‑American artist moves between pop and indie pop with a minimal, alternative tint, mixing spoken word, close‑miked whispers and rhythms lifted from rap and R&B. Emerging at the end of the 2010s with self‑released singles, she has built songs around identity, relationships and vulnerability, favouring sparse production and crisp phrasing. Raised in New York, she writes with a diaristic lens, turning small scenes into precise lines.

The night draws on her EP Girls in Purgatory (2021) and her album Good Thing We Stayed (2023), with room for newer material. Gothic Babe Tendencies, her collaboration with blackbear, sits alongside the tracks that defined her early trajectory. On stage she keeps the frame lean: text up front, understated melodies and a focused mood carried by an unforced delivery. Arrangements stay stripped back—beats, bass lines and clean guitar figures leaving space for the words—so the contours of each song come through clearly.
