On The Mount at Wasing returns in 2026, welcoming audiences back to one of the UK’s most distinctive live music settings.
Tucked deep within the Wasing Estate near Reading, the series takes place where music, nature and community come together rooted in the estate’s connection to the land and to creativity. On The Mount offers a concert experience that feels immersive and memorable, pairing a remarkable landscape with world-class live performances.
The audience’s journey begins at the edge of the forest, where a winding path leads visitors through woodland and into the heart of the estate. As the trees begin to open, the landscape reveals The Mount: a natural amphitheatre carved into the hillside and surrounded by towering woodland. Beneath open skies and encircled by nature, concert-goers experience performances that feel both intimate and expansive.
By stepping away from the pull of technology and into the woodland, audiences are invited into a unique and fully immersive environment where nature amplifies the music, heightening every moment of the live experience.
On The Mount at Wasing features curated artists whose music suits a setting where authenticity, artistry and atmosphere naturally combine.
The 2026 series will feature headline performances from MIKA on Friday 26 June, Pixies on Saturday 27 June, Belle & Sebastian on Sunday 28 June, Ben Howard on Friday 3 July, and Self Esteem on Saturday 4 July.
Each show unfolds as evening settles across the landscape, turning The Mount into a shared moment between artist, audience and the natural surroundings, in a setting where the landscape shapes the atmosphere and the night feels quietly magical.
Previous artists to have headlined On The Mount at Wasing include Paolo Nutini, Sigur Ros, Primal Scream, Jungle, Underworld, and Crowded House. Rolling Stone UK has described The Mount at Wasing as ‘the lushest of gig settings’.
