Organisers from Green Man Festival have announced that tickets have already sold out for the 2022 event.
Just days after tickets for next year’s 20th anniversary edition were released, organisers revealed on Thursday that festival go-ers snapped up the tickets in ‘record time’.
“WOW! We are absolutely thrilled that all tickets to next year’s 20th Anniversary Green Man have now sold out. A huge thank you to all you wonderful people who have snapped up tickets in record time. We are beyond excited to show you what we have in store for our 20th bday,” Green Man tweeted from its official account.
Mercury Prize winning, BRIT and Grammy award nominated Michael Kiwanuka had been announced as the festival’s first 2022 headliner this week. Kiwanuka will play a set of beloved tracks from his acclaimed 2019 album KIWANUKA, as well as his breakthrough records Love & Hate and Home Again. Elevated by his expansive new material alongside older favourites, Kiwanuka’s fourth appearance at the festival will this time be as a worthy and mesmerising headliner.
The full line-up announcement for the 2022 festival will take place next year.
Managing director and owner of Green Man festival Fiona Stewart said: “We’re so excited about Green Man’s 20th birthday and we’re planning to celebrate his big anniversary with lots of wonderful surprises and the best party ever!”

Last month’s festival was an incredible success as the Beacons welcomed 20,000 returning Green Man fans and newcomers back to the foot of the stunning Black Mountains.
They were treated to outstanding performances from headliners Mogwai, Caribou, Fontaines D.C. and Tirzah, while Thundercat, Self Esteem and Black Midi provided stand out moments alongside a fantastic line-up of music, theatre, comedy, science and arts.
Away from the music, the festival’s pioneering science and education area, Einstein’s Garden, once again showcased discussions, stalls and experiments for children and adults alike, and Green Man welcomed a unique programme of Visual Art including installations that looked deeply into the natural world from artists Gweni Llwyd, Freya Dooley, Beth Kettel, and Kristina Pulejkova.
Green Man’s Babbling Tongues area hosted a wealth of literature, talks and musical debates during the day, and a stellar line-up of comedy talent at night.
The Little Folk children’s area continues to pioneer family-centric fun at UK festivals with a broad programme of entertainment and interactive exhibitions; this year’s theme was the prehistoric ‘Land Before’.
The 2022 festival will take place from August 18-21 next year.
