A late-night takeover has been announced by record label Transgressive. It will present an exclusive lineup to continue the entertainment after the headliners finish.

London-based DJ and presenter Taylah Elaine will perform an eclectic set ranging from R&B to rap, house to dancehall and everything in-between. Joining her is Zoe London, the rock and EDM crossover DJ that has wowed festival crowds with her energy-packed sets.

Friday at Reading will see DJ-battle style sets from bands such as Yard Act, Transgressive Soundsystem DJs, among others.
