Headliners
Mika, Pixies
At Wasing they see things differently. That they are inherently part of nature and that what harms the planet ultimately harms us; everything is connected. And it is from this alternative narrative in an ever-changing world that the iconic Mount was born as a fresh and pioneering space for people and planet to connect, unplugged from everyday reality. This spectacular, open air woodland amphitheatre with panoramic treescape vistas amplifies the senses, providing immersive musical experiences in the heart of nature.
Previous artists to have headlined On The Mount at Wasing include Paolo Nutini, Sigur Ros, Ben Howard, Primal Scream, Jungle, Underworld, and Crowded House. Rolling Stone UK has described The Mount at Wasing as ‘the lushest of gig settings’.
The 2026 festival line-up has begun to take shape with the announcement of Mika, who will perform on Friday, 26th June 2026. Known for his vibrant fusion of gritty romance and the joy of technicoloured alternative pop, Mika promises a show full of energy and emotion. Following this, the iconic Pixies will headline on Saturday, 27th June 2026, marking an extraordinary celebration of 40 years since the band’s formation. Fans can look forward to two nights of unforgettable performances from some of the most influential names in modern music.

Fresh from unveiling 'Another Life' and a storming North American tour, the GRAMMY-winning trio bring renewed energy to The Mount and Self Esteem brings her fearless, truth-telling pop to their woodland stage as she headlines Saturday 4 July.
