GREEN Man, Wales’ largest music festival, has today announced the first details of its line-up for the festival which is returning this summer for the 17th time.
The festival, at Glanusk Estate in Crickhowell, will be held from Thursday, August 15 to Sunday, August 18. Tickets are now on sale with early bird tickets already sold out.
Among the names announced today are Four Set, Father John Misty, Stereolab, Idles and Broken Social Scene. Headliner Four Tet will take to the Green Man stage for a third time with a UK festival exclusive live set of carefully curated dance tracks. In the 10 years since his last appearance at Green Man, Four Tet has released five acclaimed albums, collaborated with Burial and remixed an array of other artist’s work including Floating Points - one of last year’s highlights.
“It’s great to be doing the Saturday night Mountain Stage slot at Green Man 2019!” said Four Tet. “I first played Green Man in 2004 and have always had good times there.”
Another performer making a reappearance is Father John Misty who last graced the Green Man stage in 2015. The American singer-songwriter, who is best known for his critically acclaimed albums like I Love You, Honeybear and Pure Comedy, will inevitably wow crowds in what’s set to be an unforgettable headline performance.
Also featuring are the iconic Stereolab, who will play highlights from their ten critically acclaimed albums at this year’s Green Man following a ten year hiatus. For the first time in their 20 year career, Green Man will also welcome Canadian indie-rock collective Broken Social Scene.
Formed in Bristol, IDLES will be making the short drive over the Severn Bridge for their debut Green Man appearance. The punk-rock band enjoyed an incredible 2018 following the release of their second album Joy as an Act of Resistance, which reached #5 in the UK Album Chart, #6 in The Guardian’s end of year list and was also named BBC Radio 6’s album of the year.
