Closing the main stage of Reading Festival 2026 as the second of Sunday night’s headliners are award-winning electronic heavyweights Chase & Status. As early innovators who played a pivotal role in bringing drum and bass to a wider audience, the duo have cemented their place as one of the genre’s biggest names. Over the past two decades, they have built a reputation for huge anthems, iconic collaborations and explosive live shows. With a string of singles already landing in 2026, they are set to return to the festival 13 years after their last appearance.

Drum & Bass: The Movement explores how a unique UK club culture rose from an underground movement to become a global phenomenon infiltrating and influencing disciplines from mainstream pop music to video games. From dubplates to mainstream crossovers, to the labels, the tracks and the clubs that shaped the game, Drum & Bass: The Movement is a snapshot of jungle drum & bass history and how it’s always been much more than a genre of dance music: it’s a lifestyle. The movement continues...

The acclaimed drum-and-bass duo perform before an ecstatic packed London audience as part of their 2011 tour. Tinie Tempah guests.
