On The Mount At Wasing 2024

Following on from a hugely successful first year, On The Mount At Wasing, the concert series set in a spectacular woodland amphitheatre in the gorgeous Berkshire countryside, has announced its first acts for 2024.

Australian rock icons Crowded House will kick off the shows on 17th June, London electronic duo Jungle will perform with their explosive full live band on 27th June, and dance icons Underworld will headline on 29th June.

On The Mount At Wasing’s inaugural year in 2023 was a huge success, featuring shows from the likes of Gabriels, Jack Johnson, Sigur Ros and more.

Set on Wasing Estate, The Mount is a stunning enclave right in the heart of the countryside. From the woodland trail arrival into a unique & mindful space to the wildflowers awaiting concertgoers within the amphitheatre, this is a truly transportive venue to see defining live acts, fully immersed in nature.

Wasing Estate itself is heralded for the way it breaks the mould for country estates and this ethos is reflected in the concerts; Wasing hosts healing retreats enriched with nature immersion, wellbeing festivals, and restorative events with a focus on the connection between the planet and its people.

Ollie Rosenblatt and John Empson of Senbla, promoters of On The Mount At Wasing said:

“Last year was a huge success, and we feel that we have a real gem in the UK’s summer live music calendar.

When you’re watching an act surrounded by the amazing treescape that appears after you’ve walked the trail through the spectacular woodland into the venue, you get a truly soul-nourishing experience – all of the artists commented how beautiful and unique it was performing at Wasing.  

We can’t wait to build On The Mount At Wasing into our second year with a line up just as special as this beautiful space itself.”

Crowded House

With a career that spans almost 40 years, Crowded House have enjoyed worldwide success. They have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and in 2016, the band was inducted into the ARIA – Australian Recording Industry Association – Hall of Fame.

Crowded House have also won several national and international awards including being named International Group of the Year at the BRIT Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Jungle

Jungle are one of the hottest names to emerge in British electronic music for the past decade. The duo comprising of Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland were shortlisted for the 2014 Mercury Prize with their debut self-titled album.

Their fourth album ‘VOLCANO’ was released to critical acclaim earlier this year alongside a feature-length film of the same name. The single ‘Back on 74’ became a huge hit, going viral with over a billion views across TikTok and Instagram inspired by its dynamic music video that millions are recreating.

Underworld

Underworld are a true one-off , who are just as at home headlining the world’s biggest festivals and events, playing underground techno clubs and warehouses, sound-tracking theatre productions or taking over art galleries.

Having cemented their place in the ’90s underground techno scene, the group’s definitive breakthrough came in 1996 when their timeless anthem ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ became the soundtrack of a generation after it was featured in the film Trainspotting. The success of that single catapulted the band from the underground into the heart of the mainstream. The following two decades saw them build on that success while never compromising; selling millions of albums, performing countless sold-out shows, providing scores to productions by Academy Award winning directors Anthony Minghella and Danny Boyle, exhibiting in galleries, and sound-tracking the Opening Ceremony to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
