Wet Leg and The Dare met at an afterparty in Austin last October, DJed together, and apparently decided a remix was the natural next move. The result is out now, a frenetic reworking of “mangetout” that brings The Dare’s dance-punk and electroclash swagger directly into Wet Leg’s world.
The Dare is best known as a Charli xcx collaborator, and his party-driven production instincts are all over this version. “mangetout” already had momentum behind it as a Radio 1 and 6 Music A-listed single from Wet Leg’s second album ‘moisturizer,’ and its recent placement in episode two of HBO’s Canadian sports-romance series Heated Rivalry pushed it to a new audience entirely.
Wet Leg also picked up BRIT Award nominations for Group of the Year and Alternative/Rock Act this year, their first return to the BRITs since performing “Chaise Longue” with Boss Morris in 2023, a performance Jeremy Deller described as “a cultural moment.”
The band’s live schedule through the rest of 2026 is one of the more impressive festival runs going. June alone covers Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Governors Ball in New York, All Things Go in Toronto, Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Isle of Wight Festival, and PinkPop in the Netherlands. July brings headline UK dates including Alexandra Palace Park in London, Castlefield Bowl in Manchester, and Millennium Square in Leeds. A support slot with Alanis Morissette in Glasgow sits at the end of June, and the summer closes out with festival appearances in Portugal and Paris.
The “mangetout” remix is out now.
