The Isle Of Wight band – comprised of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers – shared a photo of themselves sitting on a sofa covered in stuffed animals with a man dressed up as a goblin sitting in the middle of them.
The caption of the post read: “We’re so back”. They also shared a link to the band’s website. Upon visiting the webpage, fans are taken to a landing page that features the band’s name in a magenta font with a hill and house in the background.
A pop-up screen also appears and reads: “Salutations, lonely heart. You have wandered far, but you are home now. Enter Moisturizer Valley – where the skin never cracks, and the body never withers. Enroll now and learn how to live forever.” It encourages fans to sign up for email notifications from the band.
The band’s last release was their 2022 self-titled debut LP. Their album earned them two Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. In 2023, Wet Leg won the BRIT Award for Best British Group.
Their debut album received a glowing five-star review from NME‘s Rhian Daly, who wrote: “Wet Leg began life while Teasdale and Chambers were riding a Ferris wheel at a festival, where the pair decided to give music another chance; fittingly, their debut album feels like a giddy race around a funfair, those pesky lows batted away with wit and wisecracks like a game of verbal whack-a-mole.”
Wet Leg’s ‘Angelica’ was crowned the 13th best song of 2022 by NME, and they clinched the second spot in NME‘s list of the 50 best albums of 2022, with Andrew Trendell writing: “Witty yet warm and stupidly fun, this self-titled debut saw the pair follow in the footsteps of their Domino labelmates Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand with an idiosyncratic style, personality and class, delivering an album that not only lived up to the hype, but slapped a much-needed smile back on the face of British guitar music.”
Elsewhere, Wet Leg are set to perform at a handful of festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man, Shaky Knees Festival, Roskilde Festival, Wilderness Festival, BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Liverpool, TRNSMT 2025, Boardmasters, All Together Now Festival, Øya Festival.
