First acts announced for second year of the concert series at spectacular woodland amphitheatre The Mount at Wasing
Crowded House, Jungle and Underworld are the first acts announced for the second year of the concert series at spectacular woodland amphitheatre The Mount at Wasing.
Australian rockers Crowded House will kick off the shows on June 17, while London electronic duo Jungle will perform with their explosive full live band on June 27, and dance icons Underworld will headline on June 29.
The Estate will also present Solstice At The Mount - an immersive celebration of world music and culture with headliner Nick Mulvey, and further artists to be announced – on June 20.
On The Mount At Wasing’s inaugural event this summer was a huge success, featuring shows from Gabriels, Jack Johnson, Sigur Ros and more.
Set on Wasing Estate, The Mount is 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, it is fully immersed in nature. Wasing Estate breaks the mould for country estates and its ethos is reflected in the concerts. It 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 promoters Senbla, 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.”
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.
Nick Mulvey is the first act announced for Solstice At The Mount, a show presented by Wasing Estate that celebrates the summer Solstice, which takes place on the same day everywhere on the planet, connecting everyone in a truly global moment. The show will also feature The Fireside Sessions, which will spark the Solstice celebration's shift from day into night & offer a magical and powerful music experience around the Sacred Glade fire on the Estate.
Previously a member of the critically acclaimed group Portico Quartet, Nick Mulvey frames themes of nature, spirituality and personal growth as a focal point embellished with his distinct blend of folk, pop and intricate guitar work alongside poetic and introspective lyrics. 2024 sees the10th anniversary of his Mercury Prize nominated debut solo album First Mind featuring the hit singles Fever To The Form and Cucurucu.
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 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.
Further acts are to be announced for On The Mount At Wasing 2024.
