Wesley Stace with his mouth covered by a turtleneck sweater pulled over his lower face — John Wesley Harding – aka Wesley Stace – is making Reading’s South Street one of his few UK stops this spring

John Wesley Harding – known to his friends as Wesley Stace, or simply Wes – is one of the UK’s most acclaimed songwriters you’ve probably never heard of.

Since the early 1990s, Wes has called the United States his home, sharing stages with legends including Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Nile Rodgers, and John Prine.

In February 2026, Wes returns to the UK for three exclusive shows, including one at South Street.

Expect an unforgettable evening featuring songs from his 30-year career, alongside a selection of handpicked covers.
