With a string of incredibly catchy singles released from their newest EP Angelica, Wet Leg will play an intimate show at Auckland’s The Tuning Fork. Formed in a moment of drunken clarity back in 2019, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers created Wet Leg while perched at the summit of a Ferris Wheel, a fittingly quirky origin for the whimsical artistry to come.

Together with their guitars, a penchant for French disco, and a hive of imagination that draws on everything from Pierre Bachelet, The Strokes and the B52s, they set about making some recordings of their own.

Wet Leg has since spawned an ever-growing catalogue of inimitable, chaotic alt/pop majesty with tracks like the crazily catchy Chaise Longue swiftly going viral, sparking inclusions on ‘ones to watch’ lists everywhere and drawing a huge crowd to their first proper festival set at Latitude 2021.

From Ferris wheel to record deal, the debut release from the kaleidoscopic world of Wet Leg is due in April 2022 and set to raise moods across the globe.

With their US tour in full swing, a debut album arriving in April, and both festival and headline dates across the UK and Europe to follow, Wet Leg will be in prime form when they bring their idiosyncratic artistry to Aotearoa this July!
