Hopefully SNL UK is ready to catch some fists because Wet Leg will be hitting its stage.
On Monday (March 16), the new U.K. edition of Saturday Night Live announced the lineup for its first episode. English indie rock band Wet Leg will take the stage alongside host and SNL alum Tina Fey for the March 21 series premiere.
Three-time Grammy winners Wet Leg dropped their second studio album, Moisturizer, last year. The album debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top Rock & Alternative Albums, reached the top of U.K.’s Official Albums Chart and was nominated at the 2026 Grammys for best alternative music album. The album’s fourth single, “Mangetout,” was also Grammy nominated, receiving a nod for best alternative music performance. The track, which was named one of Billboard‘s top 20 best UK and Ireland songs of 2025, has seen a lot of success, including a boost in streams after it was featured in the second episode of Crave and HBO Max’s hit tv show Heated Rivalry.
After their SNL UK debut, Wet Leg will return to the U.S. this spring and summer for performances at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands.
SNL UK also announced the musical acts and hosts for the following two episodes. Wolf Alice will take the stage alongside host Jamie Dornan for the March 28 episode, followed by musical guest Kasabian and host Riz Ahmed on April 2. SNL UK will air on Sky in the U.K. and will be available for streaming on Peacock in the U.S.
