return to
Australia in 2026
for exclusive
Headline shows

.

Secret Sounds has announced the highly-anticipated return of Grammy Award winning indie rockers WET LEG, for two exclusive Australian headline shows in February 2026. Wet Leg have built a legion of local fans since they dropped their self-titled debut album in April 2022, playing Splendour in the Grass and a series of accompanying shows that same year. These forthcoming tour dates will be their first showcasing material from new album Moisturizer, alongside fan favourites such as Chaise Lounge, Being In Love and Wet Dream.

Wet Leg will play Sydney’s Roundhouse on Monday, 9 February, followed by Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Tuesday, 10 February.

Wet Leg is riding high following the release of sophomore album Moisturizer, with its singles CPR and the frenetic, alluringly combative Catch These Fists. Moisturizer is defined by its sheer exuberance, the band turning the dial up with a record that is unapologetically bolder, stronger and raunchier than its predecessor. The band is currently playing a mammoth 22-stop North American moisTOURizer, followed by expansive European and UK dates, before heading to Australia in February.

About WET LEG

Wet Leg are Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, with Ellis Durand (bass), Henry Holmes (drums), and Joshua Mobaraki (guitar, synth).

Wet Leg burst onto the scene their debut single, Chaise Longue, in June 2021, when its dry wit, Mean Girls nod and thumping indie-disco beat turned it into a runaway hit. They have performed on Jools Holland and Seth Meyers, supported a slew of great acts from CHVRCHES to Idles, sold out their entire 2022 tour with only two songs out in the world and were ranked #2 in the BBC Sound of 2022 list. They’ve played Coachella – and were joined on stage by Dave Grohl -, and toured the world in 2023 opening for Hary Styles. They are the pop stars you’ve been waiting years to discover.

2022’s debut album Wet Leg became an instant classic that peeled back the layers of the band to reveal the smart, dark heart at the centre of it. There’s dancing, guitars, humour, sex, disenchantment, parties, and break-ups.

Rhian and Hester first met at college on the Isle of Wight, where they both grew up. The pair decided to start Wet Leg after a long hazy summer of rolling around fields and playing festivals with a couple of different bands. They would play their set and then stay for the rest of the weekend to take in as much music as possible before returning to their day jobs. “It was a pretty fun time…I think it really helped inform what kind of music we wanted to make when we eventually started Wet Leg,” concludes Hester.

“Initially, we started the band because we wanted to get free entry into festivals,” adds Rhian. “We wanted to put the summer we’d just had on loop. So I guess we wanted to make music that would fit in that setting, in that headspace, because for the most part, the bands we’d been in before took themselves a bit too seriously, let’s say.”

Wet Leg was born. They wrote enough songs for a festival set – Wet Dream, Chaise Longue and Oh No came from that unhurried time – in the hopes that they’d get booked to do a few more festivals.

Hester says they weren’t sure what would happen next, whether they’d even carry on. “It’s just a thing, isn’t it? Making grandiose plans to start a band but then just getting too busy with the everyday. We were both working full time jobs so it’s miraculous that we managed to find any time for it really,” she reflects. “But being at a festival and being a bit inebriated helps you come up with your best worst ideas – you get that sense of drunken clarity on things,” jokes Rhian. “Yeah, I still have flashbacks of us earnestly declaring to our friends that we were gonna start a band and that the name would be ‘Wet Leg’. The general response being a slightly patronising pat on the back and a ‘Sure you are’”.

Chaise Longue announced their arrival emphatically, demanding attention like its bratty narrator: “Mummy, daddy, look at me…” “It’s just so dumb,” says Rhian, embracing the Ramones tradition of proud simplicity. “We wanted to introduce ourselves like, we’re not going to be like other bands, we’re not indulging that ‘struggling artist’ thing. We have a sense of humour; start as you mean to go on and that”.

“That’s the other thing about our band,” says Rhian. “We’re not virtuoso guitarists or anything but making music isn’t about that for us. It’s just: ‘Does it sound good?’ Often it’s the rough bits, the weird wonky melodies that you hold on to.” “Also, are we having fun?” adds Hester, “Being such close friends, starting this band together was such a refreshing experience compared to other bands we’d been in before. We help each other take risks and do things that scare us.” “Courage is found in unlikely places” Rhian adds.

Wet Leg is cathartic and joyful and punk and scuzzy and above all, it’s fun. “Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny” says Rhian. More and more people are now in on the joke with the two of them, but that spirit remains at the centre of what they do.
