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.

Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
