Wet Leg delivered one of the standout moments at this year’s Green Man Festival, surprising fans with an unannounced performance ahead of their scheduled headline slot. Wet Leg appeared on the Round The Twist stage on Friday, August 15, playing a stripped-back set as part of the Green Man Sessions. The secret show drew a capacity crowd, with fans packing into the tent to catch the intimate performance just hours before their main stage appearance.
Later that evening, the duo returned to headline the Mountain Stage in front of thousands. Frontwoman Rhian Teasdale marked the occasion with a personal reflection, telling the crowd that Green Man had been the first festival she ever attended. The comment added a layer of nostalgia to the set, underlining the band’s ongoing connection to the festival. Wet Leg first played Green Man in 2021, opening the Far Out stage in their breakthrough year. Their progression from newcomers to headliners in just four years highlighted the rapid trajectory that has defined their career.
The headline set balanced fan favourites such as ‘Chaise Longue’ and ‘Wet Dream’ with new material from their latest album ‘Moisturizer’. The performance reinforced the band’s reputation for combining sharp humour with infectious hooks, while offering a preview of their evolving sound. The Mountain Stage crowd responded enthusiastically, with the singalongs and atmosphere cementing the slot as one of the festival’s defining moments.
Green Man 2025 featured a broad and eclectic line-up, with headline performances from Kneecap, Underworld, TV On The Radio and Beth Gibbons. Alongside Wet Leg, acts such as CMAT and English Teacher stood out as highlights of the weekend, further strengthening Green Man’s position as one of the UK’s most distinctive festivals for alternative and emerging music.
Wet Leg’s appearance at Green Man follows the announcement of their upcoming UK and Ireland tour later this year. The eight-date run opens on November 13 at London’s Royal Albert Hall, before continuing with shows at Liverpool’s Mountford Hall and Nottingham’s Rock City. The tour will see the band perform in several of the country’s most renowned venues, offering fans the chance to experience material from ‘Moisturizer’ in full.
