If there’s one thing we love in this world, it’s festival season.

The vibes. The free pass to crack open a not-so-cheeky cider at 2 o’clock on a Friday afternoon. The omnipresent promise of that one perfectly timed weekend of British summer sunshine. And the inevitable disappointment when you’re forced to don your ponchos and wellies for another weekend spent brushing muddy splashes from the roof of the finest tent that your local Argos had available at 5pm on the preceding Wednesday.

But do you know that we love more than anything, dear reader? The music.

For after all, isn’t a summer’s day spent in a field with some of your favourite tunes one of life’s simplest pleasures?

It makes it a lot easier, of course, when your festival of choice has booked an insanely strong lineup to soundtrack your shenanigans. And fortunately for you, if your festival of choice for 2024 happens to be Reading Festival, then we think you’re in for a treat.

Having long since established itself as Britain’s premier alternative weekender, Reading Festival – and its Northern sister, Leeds Festival – has now seemingly pivoted to just trying to cram as much A-list talent into one weekend as humanly possible. After all, surely that’s the only explanation as to why this year’s line-up is so bloody stacked?

In fact, the entire line-up is so insanely solid, we worry that you’d give yourself a headache if you tried to pick your must-see acts from across the weekend. But fortunately, that’s where your friends at One on One have you covered. We’ve trawled through the list and cherry-picked the 9 names you absolutely, unequivocally cannot afford to miss from Reading Festival 2024 and popped them into a list below. And we’ve even included our top track from each act, too. Because we’re nice like that.
