Wet Leg at Trinity Summer Series
At Trinity College Dublin · College Green, Dublin 2
At Trinity College Dublin · College Green, Dublin 2
Wet Leg are one of the most genuinely fun guitar bands to emerge in years - Isle of Wight duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, whose debut album picked up the Mercury Prize and turned heads on both sides of the Atlantic. On 1 July 2026 they headline the Trinity Summer Series, playing their biggest Irish show to date in the grounds of Trinity College Dublin. It is an outdoor standing concert on the college’s grass, part of a week-long run of shows that has become a fixture of the Dublin summer calendar. The setting alone is worth the trip: a working 16th-century university campus a few minutes’ walk from the Liffey, turned briefly into a concert field each summer.
Wet Leg’s second album, Moisturizer, extended the sound they built on their debut - jangly, hook-heavy indie rock delivered with a dry wit that makes their lyrics land differently every time you hear them. Live, they translate that energy into something looser and louder. Expect sing-along moments in equal measure with stranger, more textured passages.
The concert takes place on College Park, Trinity’s central green space. Gates open at 7pm with shows starting at 7:30pm. It is a standing-only outdoor event on grass, so wear appropriate shoes - heeled footwear is uncomfortable on the lawn and trainers or flat boots are the sensible call. Layers are recommended; Dublin evenings in early July are mild but unpredictable. Note that this is strictly an over-18s event and ID will be checked. Bags larger than A4 are not permitted, and no glass, cans, or alcohol may be brought in. The usual College Green and Nassau Street entrances are closed on concert nights - all entry is through Lincoln Place, beside The Lincoln Inn pub on Westland Row.
Trinity College sits on College Green in Dublin 2, as central as it gets. The closest DART stations are Pearse Street and Tara Street, both a five-minute walk from the Lincoln Place entrance. The Luas Green Line stops at Dawson Street and at Westmoreland - either is walkable in under ten minutes. Dublin Bus serves the area from most parts of the city. There is no public parking at the venue; driving into the city centre is not worth the hassle when public transport drops you this close.
A concert at Trinity makes a good excuse to spend more of the day in the area - the Book of Kells, Grafton Street, and the restaurants around Merrion Square are all within easy reach. There is more to see in Dublin and across Co. Dublin.
