Wet Leg by Hollie Fernando
Isle Of Wight Festival will be back in June next year.
The Charlatans, Wet Leg, The Kooks, The Fratellis and Heather Small are some of the latest additions to Isle Of Wight Festival 2022.
With their self-titled debut album ready to go early next year, Wet Leg are likely to have a much bigger hometown audience upon their return to Seaclose Park when compared to the one Live4ever was a part of this year:
“The Main Stage gets the nineties; two consecutive sun-soaked afternoons soundtracked firstly by the understated jangle-pop of The Lightning Seeds,” our review reads.
“It’s a simple greatest hits set, and in turn an indication of how many of these they have. The next afternoon, Supergrass have the Best Of on display too but, as Gaz Coombes notes, they’re also enduring ‘one of the longest fucking reunions ever’.”
“If such a successful band having the wind taken out of the sails of their comeback isn’t exactly one of the biggest artistic tragedies of the pandemic, it’s still another sign of its wide-ranging consequences.”
“The set has it all, but fails to shake off a lingering feeling that what could’ve been one of 2020’s best stories has now been reduced to one of 2021’s more melancholic footnotes.”
