Jamie T opened Reading 2026 today, Friday, August 28, with a surprise set on the festival's new main stage, The Grid. The London indie artist performed for 33 minutes and 10 seconds, a duration chosen in honour of his new single, '3310'.
The set featured tracks such as 'Hippodrome', 'The Old Style Raiders', and 'Salvador'. Fan favourites 'If You Got The Money', 'Sticks N Stones', and 'Zombie' also made an appearance, with 'Zombie' closing the performance.
This Reading appearance follows a secret sold-out show at London's Scala last week, where Jamie T previewed unreleased songs from his forthcoming album. His new record, 'Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)', is scheduled for release on October 9.
Reading 2026 continues today with performances from artists including Geese, Charli XCX, and Fontaines D.C. Royal Blood is also expected to perform a 'secret' surprise set on The Gallery stage at 2pm.
