So who is going to Green Man Festival this year? Personally I can't wait, I would almost say I enjoyed it more than Glastonbury last year! Done a bit of snooping around...

Tickets on sale and first announcement - Monday 30th January

Who is everyone hoping will play? I watched an interview a few months back saying there would be some old friends and surprises for the 10th Green Man!

I'm thinking there is quite a high possibility Bon Iver will play, as he went down so well in 2009 and he is playing festivals in Europe at the start of August!

I'm pretty much counting down the days until August, cant wait!

If you havent already seen them, it's worth checking out these GM Sessions from last year's festival....

Yes! Green Man Sessions are awesome.
Has anyone heard any rumours about who is playing?

I'd highly recommend it, looking at the past festivals you've been to it seems like you haven't really been to any festival like it, but you will love it! It really is an awesome location, and the best sound i've ever heard at a festival (and better than most gigs i've been to aswell!)

I'm really delighted with this announcement - though I would have gone any way as I love Green Man. Role on August!

Tickets bought - Glastonbury alternative and it's roughly the same capacity as the first time I went to Glasto - which in my opinion is now far too big. Been looking at this festival for a few years - so really looking forward to it.

You will love it! Enjoyed last years Green Man possibly more than last years Glastonbury..!

Don't have any idea who the last 2 headliners will be though, all the *bigger names* i was expecting have been snapped up as exclusives for other festivals.

Yes Feist was totally amazing on Sunday, perfect for the mainstage at GM. And they've just announced Adam Buxton's BUG will be the Thursday night entertainment - brilliant news!

Looking forward to the next GM line-up announcement as so far it's spot on

Line up is looking great, I hope we get someone crazy for the friday night though, as in psychedelic crazy. that would be cool.
Also hoping for Tallest Man On Earth, John Grant and James Blake again would be awesome!
