A farm estate in Aldermaston has announced its full line-up for this year's Solstice On The Mount.
Set in the heart of Berkshire, the much-anticipated solstice celebrations return with a range of acts across two musical offerings at Wasing Estate on Thursday, June 20.
This year’s event follows On The Mount At Wasing's inaugural year in 2023, which featured sensational shows from the likes of Gabriels, Jack Johnson, Sigur Ros and more.

In 2024, the event is headlined by acclaimed artists Nick Mulvey and Rodrigo y Gabriela, joined on the bill by The Yawanawa. Later on in the evening, Fireside Sessions will welcome performances from world music artists AWARË and Ajeet.
Nick Mulvey, a previous member of the critically acclaimed group Portico Quartet, will be on stage at 9.50pm at the pinnacle moment when the Solstice takes place, connecting concertgoers in time & with his music and the natural world around us.
As a separate ticket offering which includes overnight camping, Fireside Sessions will spark the solstice celebration's shift from day into night with special performances from world music artists AWARË and Ajeet.
For those seeking a free-spirited experience, fireside sessions take place as an evening concert by the Sacred Glade fire on the estate, giving a moment to connect with nature and the solstice vibes under the stars. The following morning a guided sunrise ceremony will take place at dawn to welcome the new sun.
CEO of Wasing Estate, Andrew Perkins, said: “The Mount is the natural home of music. We invite people to connect in an extra special space, in a sensory moment fully immersed in the environment around us, celebrating world music & each other.

"We are honoured to welcome a phenomenal curation of exceptionally talented artists & look forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be a remarkable Solstice evening at Wasing”.
Wasing is supporting Médicins Sans Frontières, an international humanitarian organisation providing medical care in more than 70 countries, who treat patients on medical needs alone and provide life-saving care in crisis zones. For each Solstice ticket sold, £2 will be paid to Médicins Sans Frontières.
Wasing Estate hosts healing retreats enriched with nature, wellbeing festivals, and restorative events with a focus on the connection between the planet and its people, with both shows alcohol free.
As well as the solstice celebrations, the estate will play host to On The Mount At Wasing, the concert series promoted by Senbla, set in a spectacular woodland amphitheatre.
Throughout June, Wasing will welcome a full lineup of brilliant acts. Australian rock icons Crowded House will kick off the shows on Monday June 17, while London electronic duo Jungle will perform with their explosive full live band on Thursday, June 27 and dance icons Underworld will headline on 29 June, with more acts to be announced soon.
