About Wet Leg
Hailing from the Isle of Wight, Wet Leg burst onto the global music scene with an irresistible blend of wry humour, catchy melodies, and a refreshingly unpretentious attitude. Formed by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, the duo quickly garnered attention with their debut single, “Chaise Longue,” in 2021, a track that became an instant indie anthem thanks to its distinctive spoken-word delivery and hypnotic bassline. Their sound is firmly rooted in alternative rock, infused with post-punk sensibilities and a pop sensibility that makes their tracks incredibly accessible yet deeply intelligent.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2022, solidified their status as a major force, earning them widespread critical acclaim, a Mercury Prize nomination, and multiple GRAMMY Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. Tracks like “Wet Dream,” “Angelica,” and “Ur Mum” showcased their ability to craft relatable narratives about modern life, relationships, and the absurdity of it all, delivered with a signature deadpan charm. While Teasdale and Chambers remain the core, their live performances are bolstered by a dynamic backing band, ensuring a full, energetic sound. Wet Leg’s rise has been meteoric, a testament to their unique artistic vision and their ability to connect with an audience hungry for something genuinely fresh and exciting.
Bristol Beacon: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in the heart of Bristol city centre, the Bristol Beacon (formerly Colston Hall) stands as a monument to music and culture. After a monumental £132 million transformation, the venue reopened its doors, reimagined and revitalised, offering an unparalleled experience for both artists and audiences. Its location, just a stone’s throw from Bristol’s vibrant Harbourside and bustling shopping districts, makes it easily accessible and a central hub for the city’s cultural life.
The venue’s history stretches back to 1867, and while its heritage is preserved, the new Bristol Beacon is a marvel of modern design and accessibility. With its main concert hall boasting a capacity of around 2,000 for standing gigs and its more intimate Lantern Hall holding 400, it caters to a diverse range of performances. Wet Leg will undoubtedly command the main hall, where the state-of-the-art acoustics and stunning architectural features create an immersive atmosphere. The extensive refurbishment focused heavily on improving accessibility, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of live music, with step-free access throughout, accessible toilets, and dedicated viewing platforms. The Bristol Beacon, postcode BS1 5AR, is not just a building; it’s a cornerstone of Bristol’s artistic identity, offering a world-class setting for world-class talent.

Their live shows are renowned for their tight musicianship, Rhian and Hester’s endearing on-stage banter, and a palpable sense of fun. The atmosphere in the Bristol Beacon is expected to be electric, with the audience singing along to every word, punctuated by moments of deadpan humour from the band.
