ON THE MOUNT AT WASING 2023 & 2024

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. They played at The Mount on 17th June 2024.

Paolo Nutini

One-of-a-kind Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini has cemented himself as amongst the finest artists of his generation, known for his live performances that mix his blue-eyed soul with a cross-genre musical kaleidoscope. Ivor Novello winner and multiple BRIT Award nominee with a remarkable 18 Platinum certifications in the UK alone, Paolo’s incredible vocals filled The Mount on 18th June 2024.

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. They played Glastonbury & The Mount on 27th June 2024.

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. They later sound-tracked the Opening Ceremony to the London 2012 Olympic Games. They played at The Mount on 29th June 2024.

Sigur Ros

Icelandic post-rock icons Sigur Ros performed a UK Festival Exclusive set at Wasing, having just celebrated 20 years since their iconic third album, ‘Untitled’, otherwise known as ‘( )’. Famed for their incredible live performances, and the ubiquity of their song ‘Hoppipolla’, the band have now released seven studio albums, two films, solo albums, side projects, orchestral and choral works, tech start-up collaborations, music for dance companies and leading visual artists, as well as several film scores. They played at The Mount on 2nd July 2023.

Primal Scream

Fronted by founding member Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream have a back-catalogue spanning more than three and a half decades, embracing everything from psychedelic pop to degenerate rock’n’roll; euphoric rave to industrial gloom. Along with hit singles such as ‘Movin’ On Up’, ‘Rocks’ and ‘Loaded’, the band have achieved seven Top 10 albums, including ‘Screamadelica’ and ‘Give Out But Don't Give Up’, and were the first ever winners of the Mercury Music Prize in 1992. They performed at The Mount on 30th June 2023.

Ben Howard

BRIT Award winning singer-songwriter Ben Howard released his double platinum-selling debut album ‘Every Kingdom’ in 2011, followed by a Pyramid Stage Glastonbury appearance. His follow-up album, ‘I Forget Where We Are’ went straight to No.1 in the UK album charts, and his subsequent albums ‘Noonday Dream’ in 2018, and his most recent ‘Collections from the Whiteout’ in 2021 were released to critical acclaim. He played on 1st July 2023 & describe The Mount as "such a beautiful venue".

Jack Johnson

Hawaiian-born, California raised Jack Johnson is a Grammy nominated, BRIT Award winning singer-songwriter who released his 8^th studio album ‘Meet The Moonlight’ to critical acclaim.

He played at Wasing on 25th June 2023 & said of his view from the stage "It feels like I'm looking at a Van Gogh".

Gabriels

Soulful British-American trio Gabriels were nominated for 2023's BRIT Awards International Group of the Year, following the release of the first half of their debut album ‘Angels and Queens’.
