Surrounded by the Brecon Beacons, Green Man is one of the most idyllic and exciting festivals around, providing more than music to make their festival one-of-a-kind. With a Settler’s Pass, attendees can turn their festival into a week-long holiday with early entry, workshops, music, discounts on local heritage sites, galleries, castles and more. Green Man has put a whole new spin on the festival experience.

Joining Four Tet and Father John Misty in this year's line-up is the US band Eels, the self-proclaimed ‘World’s Number One Entertainers’. With an extensive back catalogue of fourteen albums, it is bound to be one hell of a live performance.

Green Man further promotes themselves as a diverse festival with the beloved Yo La Tengo, Beach Goths The Growlers and the Iconic DJ Shy FX. Welcoming back White Fence (otherwise known as Tim Presley who graced the festival with Cate Le Bon’s band) he returns in his own right following from the collaborative album with Ty Segall.

Spanish DJ John Talabot makes his debut at Green Man this year; anything is possible at the decks with his breadth of influences and inspirations. The glorious Marika Hackman returns to the festival to share her newly found brazen guitar-driven vibe since alongside Bristol punk-rockers, IDLES. Also added to the bill are Ex:Re, The Liminanas, Hand Habits, Yak, The Beths, KOKOKO!, Bill Ryder-Jones and Jockstrap amongst so many more!

Green Man 2019 runs from Thursday 15th – Sunday 18th August. The Settler’s Pass allows access to the site from 12th August and you can get your hands on tickets here.
