The highlight of the Welsh live music calendar have released details of this year’s line-up, Getintothis’ Steven Doherty has the details.
Celebrating it’s 17th year and now firmly established as Wales’ largest music festival, Green Man have released their first set of artists confirmed for this year’s shenanigans.
Last year saw their quickest ever sell-out and judging by the acts just announced, this year promises to be equally as successful.

As Green Man enhances its reputation as the stand-out in a host of festivals targeting a family audience(their range of tickets includes Teen, Little Folk and free tickets for infants), then the line-up has something for everyone.
The elder hipsters will be reliving their youth to the likes of Stereolab, Richard Thompson, A Certain Ratio, Steve Mason and Broken Social Scene.
For the youngsters there’s Sharon Van Etten, Maribou State, Car Seat Headrest, Big Thief, Whitney, Stealing Sheep and the nation’s current sweethearts Idles.
