Isle Of Wight Band Wet Leg Hoping For Mercury Music Prize Success

Isle of Wight band Wet Leg are among the nominees in the running for tonight's Mercury Music Prize.

They'll go up against 12 acts, including Harry Styles and Sam Fender, with their self-titled debut album.

Artists will each perform one track from their shortlisted album.  

Celebrating albums released by British and Irish musicians, this year's shortlist includes several debuts  — while Little Simz and Bernard Butler are nominated for a second time.

Arlo Parks won the prestigious award last year. 

Island singers Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers will be hoping to beat Harry Styles, who they're supporting on his 'Love on Tour' shows.

They'll perform in Australia and New Zealand and in Europe next Spring.

Both Harry and Wet Leg are due to play at Wembley on June 14 — a day before Isle of Wight Festival 2023 starts.
