Just two days before their amazing set at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, Wet Leg brought its unique brand of indie rock to the Ogden Twilight Concert Series. The British band kept the crowd engaged with infectious melodies, quirky lyrics and a performance that never took itself too seriously.
There is something refreshing about a Wet Leg concert. The band can be funny without becoming a comedy act. Nothing feels forced. Their humor, tight playing and high energy all seem natural to the performance. Judging by the totally sold out Ogden Amphitheater, this is a style a lot of people are drawn to.
The stage filled with fog. I mean these machines were cranking out as much fog as I’ve ever seen. It made shooting a little tricky, but made the stage and band look amazing. The set opened with “catch these fists,” immediately establishing the upbeat tone for the night. “Oh No” and “Wet Dream” followed. The crowd had little time to relax as the high energy opening had people singing and moving from the first beat . “Wet Dream” was an especially strong early highlight. It gave fans a chance to sing along to one of Wet Leg’s most recognizable songs.
From there, the set moved through a mixture of songs that showcased the different sides of the band. “Supermarket” and “liquidize” kept the momentum going, while “jennifer’s body” brought another dose of the band’s unmistakable personality. The songs may have plenty of humor and unusual subject matter, but the musicianship behind them is what makes Wet Leg work so well live. They just have a certain quality that makes these songs so listenable. And these melodies stick with you for hours after their performance.
“Being in Love” was another standout. It has a catchy, almost effortless quality that translated particularly well to the outdoor setting. As the evening continued with “pond song” and “Ur Mum,” the audience became increasingly involved. “Ur Mum” was one of those moments when the distinction between performer and audience seemed to disappear, with fans enthusiastically joining in.
The band continued to bounce between energetic songs and moments that allowed the set to breathe. “Too Late Now” provided a slightly different mood before “davina mccall” and “11:21” brought everyone back into Wet Leg’s wonderfully unpredictable world.
One of my favorite things about watching Wet Leg live is seeing how naturally the band embraces its own identity. There is no obvious attempt to fit into a particular mold. The songs can be catchy, strange, sarcastic, sincere and downright silly, sometimes all within the same set. That personality came through as strongly as the music itself.
The band itself was pretty funny when they spoke from the stage. Joking that they had never been to Ogden, and that it was great to finally get to see where the movie Twilight was made. Of course referencing the name of the concert series hosting them.
“pillow talk” and “u and me at home” kept things moving before “Angelica” helped build toward one of the night’s biggest moments. Then came “Chaise Longue.”
The reaction to “Chaise Longue” was immediate. The song remains one of Wet Leg’s biggest crowd favorites, and the Ogden audience knew every opportunity to shout, sing and participate. It was the kind of performance that reminded everyone why certain songs become more than just recordings. They become shared experiences between a band and its fans.
“CPR” continued the late-set energy before “mangetout” brought the evening to a close. By that point, the crowd had been treated to a set that managed to be both musically impressive and genuinely entertaining.
Wet Leg’s performance worked because it never felt overly complicated. The band simply played its songs, had fun with the audience and allowed its personality to take center stage. There was plenty of energy, but there was also a relaxed quality that made the entire evening feel like a gathering of friends rather than a carefully manufactured rock spectacle.
That’s part of what makes the Ogden Twilight Concert Series such a great setting for a band like Wet Leg. The outdoor atmosphere, enthusiastic crowd and intimate feel of the venue gave the performance plenty of room to breathe while keeping the audience close to the action.
Wet Leg had delivered exactly what a summer concert should be. Loud enough to get everyone moving, catchy enough to inspire plenty of singing and weird enough to make the night memorable.
Wet Leg gave them plenty of reasons to do all three. It was an energetic, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable night at Ogden Twilight. If this was a warm up for Outside Lands, then that set must have been incredible. But I can’t imagine it was any better than what we got to witness.
