Selling out in record time, Green Man returns for its 22nd outing this summer. Not only is it Wales’s largest music, science and arts festival but it’s also its most beloved one, and if this year’s line-up is anything to go by, 2024 is set to be its finest instalment yet.
The breadth and variety of talent at this year’s Green Man is visible in its headliners, which include folk-rock heroes, Big Thief – fresh off the release of frontwoman Adrianne Lenker’s new solo album – and Mercury Prize-winning songwriter and producer Sampha. If you want to move, electronic pioneer Jon Hopkins has you more than covered, and if you want to shout along to some incredible DIY punk, look no further than Sleaford Mods.
These headliners are just the tip of the iceberg, though. Throughout the weekend, a strong mix of established heavy hitters and rising stars are set to perform. For fans of rock, there’s plenty to dig into – from the timeless yearnings of the Jesus and the Mary Chain to the scuzzy garage of Osees. Meanwhile, for electronic fans, acts like Mount Kimbie and Joy Orbison are guaranteed to delight. The line-up demonstrates that Green Man very much has its finger on the pulse when it comes to new acts; Black Country, New Road, Model/Actriz, Wednesday, Blondshell, Hotline TNT, Lynks – these artists are responsible for some of the most exciting albums of the past few years.
In addition to this incredible musical line-up, you can also expect film screenings, comedy, talks, and adventurous art installations, as well as the festival’s wellness wonderland, Nature Nurture. There’s no doubt that Green Man 2024 will be just as exhilarating as previous years, if not more. We can’t wait.
Green Man 2022 runs from August 18th to 21st. Tickets are sold out, find out more information here.
