Reading Festival 2026 Schedule: Full Sunday Lineup and Set Times

Reading Festival 2026 reaches its final day on Sunday, August 30, with Florence + The Machine and Chase & Status Live set to close The Grid at Little John’s Farm. After two headline nights built around Charli XCX, Fontaines D.C., Dave and RAYE, the festival’s first all-British-and-Irish top line in 25 years has one final chapter to play out.

Florence + The Machine will take The Grid at 7:55 p.m., returning to Reading and Leeds for the first time since 2012 and making the festivals her only UK festival appearances of 2026. Her set follows a Friday performance at Leeds that opened with “Everybody Scream” before moving through “Shake It Out,” “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” “One of the Greats” and “Dog Days Are Over.”

The Sunday schedule begins earlier with acts spread across the rebuilt festival site. Loyle Carner and Role Model are among the major names on The Grid, while Kneecap and Holly Humberstone appear on The Gallery. Chase & Status Live will then close the main stage at 10:05 p.m., bringing a full drum-and-bass production to the final headline slot.

The weekend began under very different conditions. Friday’s opening was dominated by heavy rain, surprise appearances from Jamie T and Royal Blood, and Skepta performing in a lime-green waterproof before returning later for a Warehouse B2B with Prospa. Charli XCX followed with her first full UK performance of her Music, Fashion, Film era, combining new material such as “Rock Music,” “Wink Wink” and “Card Declined” with Brat favorites and a theatrical stage production.

Fontaines D.C. then delivered an emotional headline set despite starting around 30 minutes late and dropping the planned debut of “Happy For You.” The band previewed its forthcoming album Dopamine Chamber with “Marianne” and “Six Shot Morning,” while Grian Chatten told the Reading crowd that it had been “a very hard time” for the band in recent months.

Saturday shifted the focus toward star-powered collaborations. Dave headlined The Grid for the first time since 2022 and brought out James Blake, Kano and Central Cee, finishing with “Starlight” and “Raindance” as fireworks filled the sky. RAYE followed with a career-spanning performance that included “Escapism.,” “Oscar Winning Tears,” “Click Clack Symphony” and “Where Is My Husband?” before bringing her sisters Amma and Absolutely onto the stage for “Joy.”
