Green Man has risen heroically from the ashes and is absolutely chuffed to announce that Earlybird tickets for next summer’s extravaganza go on sale next Tuesday, November 10, at the special reduced price of just £100!....

That’s a whopping £15 knocked off the cost of an Adult Weekend Ticket from this year’s incredible festival – a bargain offer available exclusively to the discerning folk on our mailing list.....

We’re giving YOU the very first opportunity to get your hands on what we guarantee will be one of the hottest festival tickets of 2010.....

You told us you wanted plenty of time to plan your summer, save up your hard-earned cash and make sure you didn’t miss out on all the magic and mayhem of what we promise will be the greatest ever Green Man – well, here you go!....

As winter creeps in, all other Green Man 2010 tickets will be available during the Early Bird sale at this year’s credit crunch busting prices – so that’s just £99 for students, £50 for teenagers, £45 for live-in vehicles, £30 for holiday tickets and £5 for car parking.  ....

Green Man 2009 goes out with a BANG !

Tuesday, March 03, 2009 

Spring is in the air and Green Man is less than 6 months away! We’re
really excited to announce the first acts for this summer’s festival.

Grammy award winners Wilco, 2008's hottest success Bon Iver, as well as Wooden Shjips, British Sea Power, Errors, Peggy Sue, Megson, Pivot, It’s A Buffalo, She Keeps Bees, Golden Animals, 6 Day Riot, No Thee No Ess, Sound Carriers and Martin Carr. Bella Union will be hosting a night showcasing their emerging new talent including Beach House and Peter Broderick and others. Also appearing will be The Amorphous Androgynous (AKA Future Sound Of London) taking you on a Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind for 7 hours of life changing experiences.

This year’s festival will see more than 100 acts play indie, psychedelia, americana and folk across 5 stages, while DJ’s playing everything from
psychedlia, dub-reggae, modern electro and stoner rock will keep the party alive right through the night.

We have a range of tickets available, including discounted ones for NUS card holders, teenagers, weekend tickets, and a new holiday ticket






Friday, February 20, 2009 
Tickets for this summer's festival will go on sale on Tuesday 3rd March. We will also be announcing the first batch of acts on that day too.

This year promises to be our most magical festival yet: a unique weekend of music, dancing, film, comedy, art and culture hidden away among the mountains and waterfalls of Glanusk Park in the Brecon Beacons.
This ancient and beautiful landscape is open for just these few days a year, so join us to celebrate the age-old season of renewal, with fires, ceremony, togetherness and a stunning line-up of music ranged across five stages.

Whether you come for the music, the magic or the sense of escape, there’s no doubt that Green Man is unlike any other festival.

GREEN MAN ON TOUR

The Green Man on Tour returns with a double header from Pete Greenwood and Mary Hampton. Word Magazine described Pete as having 'the same restful, bucolic poise as this realm's high priest Nick Drake', while Uncut described Mary's music as 'coffee-table-shattering purity...these are songs of unnerving delicacy, elemental and acoustic simplicity...potent and enchanting.'

Press Reviews:

Pete Greenwood Reviews:
'Ensnares you from the word go' - Sunday Times
'Sounds like a lost 1970's classic' - Independent on Sunday
Mary Hampton Reviews:
'If Joanna Newsom's spiders-in-the-hair folk floats your tankard, then Brighton's Mary Hampton is the new brew. Spectral and spartan she mixes poetry and classical influences into plinking, piano-led folk ballads...giving her debut an exotic, gothic drama'- Q
