UK indie rockers dial up raucous set in El Paso with opener Mary in the Junkyard.
Touring their second album, moisturizer, UK five-piece Wet Leg’s 2025 tour brought them to El Paso following ACL Weekend Two. Oft-skipped by touring bands, the crowd at the packed outdoor Lowbrow Palace welcomed the band with unmatched enthusiasm. London trio Mary in the Junkyard, clad in angel wings and a moon-shaped hat, opened for them as the sky turned from orange to deep purple – their set was a dreamy prelude to Wet Leg’s wry humor and high-energy.
Playing just an hour after the sun set to clear skies, 77 degrees, palm trees and neon lights, Wet Leg ripped through their lewd and whip-smart 19-song set list. Frontwoman Rhian Teasdale’s devil-may-care kitsch cut through the thick fog and bright white strobe lighting — she’s cheeky both literally and figuratively. The crowd’s scream during “Ur Mum” was the loudest that the band had encountered on the road so far. Two albums in, Wet Leg proves that their confidence with a bite isn’t a one-album fluke but has staying power even in the far reaches of the Texas desert.
