WET LEG are set to rock Edinburgh into 2026, ringing in the New Year at Concert in the Gardens with a night of infectious anthems, brash guitars, heavy beats and unbridled live muscle, to 10,000 revellers beneath Edinburgh Castle.

This headline appearance marks Wet Leg’s Edinburgh’s Hogmanay debut, closing a triumphant year for the band, which has seen them conquer Glastonbury, announce a sell-out UK tour and secure their second Official Number 1 album in the UK with their latest release ‘Moisturizer’. The BRIT and Grammy award winners take to the main stage in West Princes Street Gardens, joined by homegrown heroes Hamish Hawk and Lucia & The Best Boys.

Storming onto the scene in 2022 with their self-titled debut album, which received a Mercury Prize nomination, Wet Leg went on to win two Grammy awards and two BRIT Awards, universal rave reviews and critical acclaim. Kicking off their career with chart-topping hits like ‘Chaise Longue’ and ‘Wet Dream’, Wet Leg are one of the UK’s most exciting bands, bringing indie eccentricity and brazen humour back to the music scene.

Wet Leg are joined by an all Scottish line-up, with Hamish Hawk and Lucia & The Best Boys added to the packed bill.

An Edinburgh local, Hamish Hawk’s hometown set is sure to go down a storm as he brings his indie-pop tunes, perfected over a 15-year career, to Hogmanay. Releasing his third album in 2024, the singer-songwriter has regularly been shortlisted for The Scottish Album of the Year Award.

Opening proceedings on the night of Hogmanay will be Glaswegian indie rockers Lucia & The Best Boys, following their biggest UK headline tour to date. Making waves on the music scene since 2017, the trio recently supported Garbage on a European tour, as well as support slots with The Last Dinner Party later this year.

Plus, award-winning comedian Susie McCabe will return to host Concert in the Gardens, leading the country in a countdown to midnight. The winner of 2024’s Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award, Susie McCabe is one of the country’s most beloved comedians and a fitting host for the night.

Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is proud to support Local Charity Partners, with each booking fee including a £1.00 charity donation, with additional donation options online when buying tickets.
