Green Man are also welcoming back Cardiff’s infamous Clwb ifor Bach, who are curating music at the Settlement stage. A spokesperson for Clwb ifor Bach said: “We’re showcasing some of our favourite local bands and artists, ranging from Los Blancos’ grungy guitars, to My Name is Ian’s melancholy party anthems, to the power house vocals and gripping lyrics of Marged. We hope to give an insight to some of the very best music Wales has to offer.”
