2 min read
MIKA has been announced as the second headliner for On The Mount at Wasing – one of the UK’s most distinctive concert series which returns in 2026, set within a spectacular woodland amphitheatre in Berkshire.
On The Mount at Wasing unfolds on the breathtaking Wasing Estate (pronounced Way-zing) near Reading. At the heart of the countryside lies The Mount – a natural enclave unlike any other.
From the enchanting woodland trail that welcomes guests, to the wildflowers that bloom across the amphitheatre, every detail of this mindful space creates a truly transportive setting. It is here, immersed in nature, that audiences experience landmark performances from world-class artists. Set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most unique and stunning outdoor venues, The Mount delivers a diverse programme rooted in music, nature, and connection.
Headlining on Friday 26 June, MIKA joins previously announced Pixies who will headline on Saturday 27 June.
MIKA began his pop career in 2007 with the defining single ‘Grace Kelly’, which went on to sell over 3 million copies worldwide and was the second British single ever to top the chart based on download sales alone. It was No.1 in the UK for five weeks and topped the charts in six other countries as well. His debut album, ‘Life In Cartoon Motion’, has amassed over 2.8 billion streams to date, selling over 8.3 million albums and racking up 12.8 million digital track sales. The album went straight to No.1 in the UK and 11 other countries.
With further hit records including ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much’, ‘The Origin of Love’, ‘No Place in Heaven’, ‘My Name is Michael Holbrook’, and his most recent ‘Que ta tête fleurisse toujours’; MIKA has sold over 10 million albums globally and has Gold or Platinum awards in 32 countries worldwide.
Having been nominated for and won awards including BRITs, GRAMMYs, and Ivor Novello’s, MIKA continues to perform on the world’s biggest stages including Coachella, and in 2022 he had the honour of acting as an international host of the Eurovision Song Contest, delivering an incredible performance to an audience of over 160million.
