Solstice Festival 2025

On the longest day of the year, people around the world pause to honour the sun’s radiant energy—and at Wasing Estate, Solstice Festival becomes a vibrant gathering of music, nature, and connection. Taking place from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd June 2025, the festival celebrates the Rite of Summer and will feature performances by world-renowned artists James Blake (Solo Piano), Anoushka Shankar, Salif Keita, Nubiyan Twist, K.O.G., The Turbans, and many more. The full 2025 lineup is now out—see here for the acts that will be gracing the stage at this year’s celebration.

Just outside Reading, it keeps a secret heaven where party-hoppers can stroll through sun-baked meadows, sit at the edge of the still lake and dance under the trees at The Woodland at Wasing- a small open-air stage nestled away in perfect harmony with nature. For here with the solstice, as much as it is an astronomical event, it is a time to share experiences and celebrate the turning of the seasons, as well as the connections that tie us together.

At the height of the sun, the Solstice at Wasing is opened up to the world, allowing the beat of the earth to be felt, and the joy that accompanies the start of summer is to be celebrated.

Location: Wasing Estate, Aldermaston, Berkshire, RG7 4LY (easily accessible from Reading and beyond).
