Wet Leg jolts Sunday crowd

Wet Leg hit the Coachella Stage at 4:45 p.m. Sunday and snapped Weekend One’s early-evening lull with an opening run at “catch these fists.” (latimes.com) The Los Angeles Times called the set “blistering” and used it as proof that rock still had weight on a Sunday bill topped by Karol G and packed with pop and rap names. (latimes.com) Wet Leg’s Coachella set on April 12 ran about 45 minutes on the main Coachella Stage in Indio, California, according to the band’s posted set time and fan-logged concert record. (setlist.fm) The band opened with “catch these fists” and closed with “mangetout,” while also playing “Wet Dream,” “Ur Mum,” “Angelica” and “Chaise Longue.” (setlist.fm) That song choice put new material up front. Setlist.fm lists the show under Wet Leg’s “moisturizer” tour, tying the festival slot to the group’s current album cycle rather than a nostalgia run on the 2022 debut. (setlist.fm) Sunday’s broader lineup still gave rock visible placement. Festival coverage and livestream schedules listed Wet Leg alongside Iggy Pop, Foster the People and FKA twigs on a day headlined by Karol G. (dailynews.com) (aol.com) Wet Leg also used the set for a left-turn guest moment. The Los Angeles Times reported that the band brought out horsegiirL, the masked electronic performer, during its early-evening appearance on the polo field. (latimes.com) That cameo landed during “CPR,” according to the setlist posted after the show. It gave a guitar-band set one more jolt before the festival moved deeper into Sunday night. (setlist.fm) By the end of Weekend One, Wet Leg had turned a 4:45 p.m. slot into one of Sunday’s early talking points — loud enough that the festival’s rock contingent did not feel like an afterthought.
