Reading Festival 2026 Schedule: Full Saturday Lineup and Set Times

Reading Festival 2026 enters its second full day on Saturday, August 29, with Dave and RAYE taking over The Grid for the festival’s biggest double-header of the weekend. The Saturday Reading Festival lineup stretches across The Grid, The Gallery, The Warehouse and The Ballroom, bringing together UK rap, pop, indie, rock and electronic music from midday into the early hours. 

Dave is scheduled to take The Grid from 8:05 p.m. to 9:20 p.m., followed by RAYE from 10:05 p.m. to 11:35 p.m. The pairing gives the day a distinctly British headline focus: Dave arrives at the festival following the success of his October 2025 album The Boy Who Played the Harp, while RAYE brings material from new album This Music May Contain Hope.

Before the headliners, The Grid builds through a run of contemporary pop and alternative acts. Absolutely opens the stage at 12:35 p.m., followed by Slayyyter at 2 p.m., Maisie Peters at 3:30 p.m., JADE at 4:45 p.m. and sombr at 6:20 p.m.

Electronic music dominates The Warehouse throughout the afternoon and night. Mall Grab starts at noon, followed by King Boo!, Tommy Phillips and Joss Dean b2b Nafe Smallz before IN PARALLEL, Rossi., Max Dean b2b Luke Dean and Douvelle19 take the room deeper into the night. Hang The DJ and 0nef continue the programme after 1 a.m., extending Saturday’s schedule until 3 a.m.

Saturday also comes with the weight of Friday’s opening performances. Charli XCX delivered her only UK festival performance of 2026, while Fontaines D.C. used their headline set to preview their forthcoming fifth album Dopamine Chamber. With Sunday still to come — led by Florence + The Machine and Chase & Status Live — Dave and RAYE now have the job of giving Reading its second major night of the weekend.
