Check out our photos of the best sets from Reading Festival 2026
Mud be damned! Here's what went down over the weekend.
So that’s it for another weekend. The dust has firmly settled on Reading Festival 2026 and thousands of music fans – post exam results youngsters for the most part – are probably still washing away the mud after it turned into a mud-bath at the end of a glorious summer.
But mud be damned. Here was a weekend where Fontaines DC arrived as bonafide headliners, Charli XCX kicked off an explosive new era, RAYE & Dave both shone, and Florence & The Machine encouraged us all to keep dancing through the downpours.
Oh, and that’s before we forget star-making sets from Geese, Keo & so much more. Check out our essential photos of the weekend below.
