Wet Leg got the Glastonbury 2025 crowd screaming at their raucous Other Stage set – check out footage below.
Rhian Teasdale strode onto the stage flexing her biceps – a frequent occurrence at recent gigs following the release of ‘Catch These Fists‘ – which opened their set today (June 27), setting the tone for a high-octane performance for a packed crowd.
Brandishing a B.C. Rich Mockingbird guitar in Antifreeze green, Teasdale and co. sang fan-favourites including ‘Wet Dream’, ‘Supermarket’ and ‘Oh No’ before performing a number of unreleased tunes.
The group are soon to release their upcoming second album ‘Moisturizer’, which arrives on July 11 and has already been previewed with ‘CPR’ and ‘Davina McCall’, which on the Other Stage is dedicated to Teasdale’s partner.
Wet Leg first started previewing new material back in March when they played a tiny gig in Brighton. These included the live debut of ‘Jen Bod’, ‘Dave Nah’ and ‘Lovestruck’. You can pre-order/pre-save the record here.

Before launching into ‘Ur Mum’, they ask the crowd: “Does anyone here know how to scream?”. A staple of their live sets, festival-goers dutifully oblige, with Teasdale saying: “I think that probably was the longest and loudest scream we’ve ever done.”
‘Too Late Now’ appears later in the set, followed by the debut of another new track. Rounding off the set, the Isle of White artist play ‘Being in Love’, ‘Mangetout’, ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘Angelica’, closing out with ‘Chaise Lounge’ and ‘CPR’.
Later this summer, the group are set to perform at a handful of festivals including Green Man, Shaky Knees Festival, Roskilde Festival, Wilderness Festival, TRNSMT 2025, Boardmasters, All Together Now and Øya Festival. Visit here for tickets.

Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.
The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.
A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.
She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.
The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.
“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”
Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”
She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
