Just weeks after announcing the release of their sophomore LP, English duo Wet Leg have unveiled a run of North American tour dates.
The group’s tour will officially launch in the U.K. in May before a series of festival appearances throughout Europe across the summer. In September, the band will make their way back to North America, launching an 18-date tour in Seattle on Sept. 1, and wrapping up in Los Angeles on Oct. 17.
The Isle Of Wight-formed duo – made up of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers – will be hitting the road in support of their second album, Moisturizer, which releases on July 11 via Domino Records. The pair increased speculation of a new era in March, plotting a handful of U.S. dates before issuing their first new single since 2022, “Catch These Fists,” on April 1.
“We were just kind of having fun and exploring,” said Chambers in a press release, describing the band’s creative process for Moisturizer, which involved decamping to Southwold, East Sussex, to write together in spring 2024. “We focused on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together,” added Teasdale.
The new album was produced by Dan Carey, who also worked on Wet Leg’s debut, and features performances from the duo’s touring band: Ellis Durand (bass), Henry Holmes (drums) and Joshua Mobaraki (guitar, synth).
Wet Leg rose to fame in 2021 with the release of their debut single “Chaise Longue.” Reaching No. 15 and 21 on the Alternative Airplay and Rock Airplay charts respectively, the Mean Girls-referencing track was featured on the band’s self-titled debut LP in 2022, which reached No. 14 on the Billboard 200 upon its release.
Such was the success of Wet Leg that they scored a nomination for best new artist at the 2023 Grammys, with “Chaise Longue” taking home best alternative music performance and their LP winning best alternative music album. The group have also managed to snare high-profile support slots for the likes of Harry Styles and the Foo Fighters in stadiums around the world in recent years.
