Wet Leg hit the Coachella Stage at 4:45 p.m. Sunday and opened with “catch these fists,” jolting the festival’s usually slower early-afternoon crowd. (latimes.com) The Los Angeles Times called the set “blistering” in its Day 3 live coverage from Indio, California, and singled out the opener as the moment that woke people up. (latimes.com) Setlist records show Wet Leg played 11 songs in a 45-minute slot on April 12, starting with “catch these fists” and closing with “mangetout.” The set also included “Wet Dream,” “Ur Mum,” “Angelica” and “Chaise Longue.” (setlist.fm) The booking put Wet Leg on the festival’s main Coachella Stage rather than a smaller tent, with the Sunday livestream schedule listing the band alongside Karol G, FKA twigs, Iggy Pop and BIGBANG. (consequence.net) This was not a one-off reunion appearance. Setlist and tour listings place the band in the middle of a 2026 run tied to its “moisturizer” tour, with club dates in Pomona on April 15 and Las Vegas on April 16 after Coachella weekend one. (setlist.fm) (wetleg.net) Coachella’s first weekend ran from April 10 to April 12 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, with a second weekend scheduled for April 17 to April 19. Sunday’s lineup centered on headliner Karol G and a day that also included Wet Leg on the main-stage bill. (yahoo.com) (consequence.net) By the end of the afternoon, Wet Leg had done the job early-day festival sets rarely do: turn a 4:45 p.m. slot into one of Sunday’s first real jolts of noise and movement.
