Wet Leg, a British indie rock group, was founded in 2019 by singer Rhian Teasdale and lead guitarist Hester Chambers on the Isle of Wight. The duo debuted with their single "Chaise Longue" in 2021, followed by their self-titled debut album in 2022. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, Australia's ARIA Albums Chart, and the Irish Albums Chart.
Wet Leg has received five Grammy nominations, winning Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. They also won Best New Artist and Best British Group at the 2023 Brit Awards.
Fast forward to now, where Wet Leg is the lead opening act on the 2023 Harry Styles ‘Love on Tour’ tour.
Following Styles’ sold-out 43-date arena tour in 2021, his now 83-date 2023 international tour runs across 22 countries, including 13 shows across Latin America, seven dates in Australia and New Zealand, and 44 nights in North America.
Wet Leg performed hits like ‘Chaise Lounge’ at Coachella 2023 this past weekend. [This video is live at the BRIT Awards 2023.]
Today we meet Wet Leg’s Rhian and Hester in the pages of Net-a-Porter’s April 17th issue, where Hanna Hanra talks “fun, friendship and tearing up the songwriting rule book.”
Photographer Annie Lai [IG] shoots the talented, conspiratorial duo Rhian and Hester, who are riding high in music, culture and now marriage.
With their unique sound and captivating performances, Wet Leg has quickly gained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Their journey from the Isle of Wight to international recognition and the Harry Styles tour is a testament to their talent, dedication, and the strong bond between Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers.
Scanning the Coachella reviews, let’s just say that these ladies have fans. ~ Anne
