Rapper Dave co-headlined Reading Festival on Saturday, August 29, 2026, delivering a set that included multiple guest appearances. The 28-year-old took to the main stage at Richfield Avenue, sharing the headline slot with RAYE.
During his performance, Dave brought out James Blake for 'Both Sides of a Smile', collaborated with Kano on 'Chapter 16', and was joined by Central Cee for 'Sprinter'. The set also featured tracks such as 'Verdansk', 'Clash', 'Location', and 'Thiago Silva'.
Dave, who first played the festival's 1Xtra tent in 2017, acknowledged his ascent to the top slot. He performed in a black boiler suit, which he later wrapped around his waist to reveal a fitted jumper.
