Wet Leg’s show at the LCR in Norwich last week felt like walking into a room that was already buzzing. Before the band even appeared, the crowd pushed forward and everyone angled for the best possible view. The support act Faux Real had a great energy which was infectious, amazing choreographed dancing as the duo performed both on stage as well as in the crowd. The night featured 2 of the coolest guitars I’ve ever seen and Faux Real had one of them! They kicked things off with their moody-pop 90s energy and while the venue was still filling, the chatter dropped fast as people tuned in.
Wet Leg took to the stage at 8.30 through a wall of dry ice, strobes, and screams from the crowd. The band kicked straight into the opening track, “catch these fists” and the room snapped awake. From the first minute, they had momentum and they did not let go of it for the whole evening.
The set moved confidently through both albums. Early favourites like “Wet Dream” got the entire place shouting. Newer songs landed with a heavier punch. The guitars felt thicker and more deliberate, the drums hit harder, and the bass rattled just enough to make your chest feel it. Rhian Teasdale’s vocals cut through everything with a mix of sweetness and bite that worked even better live than on record, especially when backed up by the eager crowd.
As the night went on, songs like “u and me at home” and “don’t speak” slowed the pace only briefly before “davina mccall” and a stripped-back “11:21” created a calm pocket in the middle of the set. The lighting softened and the crowd settled into something quieter and almost dreamy. Bubbles and foam floated above the crowd during “pillow talk” which really added to the bedroom pop vibe that was going on and was just a great addition to this visually varied set.
One of the standout stretches was the lead-up to the finale. “Too Late Now” put the room in a blue glow that made everything feel suspended in slow motion, this was my favourite moment of the night. Then as soon as the last note faded, the band flipped the mood again and launched into “Chaise Longue” the song that really propelled Wet Leg into most people’s radars – of course a sea of phones were raised as the song got going.
Still, the crowd never quite tipped into total chaos. Norwich crowds can sometimes be on the reserved side and this one followed that pattern. People clearly loved the songs but held a tiny bit of distance. Even so, the room stayed loud and warm and engaged, what more could you want on a Wednesday night in November.
By the time the last notes of the encore faded, it felt like the band had delivered exactly what people came for. Wet Leg played tight, fast, playful and loud. It felt like a band that knows how to keep a room moving even when the room is trying to decide how wild it wants to be.
All in all, it was a fun, sweaty, confidently delivered show that proved Wet Leg are still completely in their element onstage, whether it be to a festival main stage crowd or even a smaller cap venue like this one.
