On Stage
Wet Leg – the Isle of Wight five-piece founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers – have announced their eagerly anticipated second album moisturizer will be released on July 11th.
Wet Leg’s debut on our Alcove stage back in 2021 was one of the stand-out moments of the year, and we are thrilled to be welcoming them back to Henham Park next year. With their seamless fusion of irony and sincerity, Wet Leg have crafted a sound that’s entirely their own – vibrant, subversive and unmistakably of the moment.
While touring, Wet Leg developed into a taut, caustic live operation that made good on their debut’s success with Number 1 chart placements at home and abroad, three GRAMMYs, two BRIT Awards and over half a billion streams. If success presents a fork in the road for any new band – to “go pop” or keep following your muse – Wet Leg emphatically chose the latter path. In March 2024, the band decamped to the remote seaside town of Southwold in Norfolk, England, to write; living together, working all day, watching horror movies all night, they soon locked into a new sense of symbiosis.
Their upcoming album moisturizer contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive and mysterious. Although Teasdale previously felt allergic to writing love songs, moisturizer is defined by its sheer exuberance and Teasdale ended up finding the process empowering.
moisturizer is Wet Leg turning the dial up and delivering a record that is unapologetically bolder, stronger and raunchier.
