Green Man Festival 2015

[sinc72]

Greenman have retweeted Anton Newcombe. If Brian Jonestown Massacre were to play I would lose my mind! A superb band

[timeforheroes]

Slowdive, Courtney Barnett and Jamie xx all clashing with the headliners would be a bit disastrous for me.

 

It realistically couldn't be any worse than that could it?

[dirty_dog]

Jamie Xx looked outstanding on the Park stage, will he be up against SFA ?

[timeforheroes]

I've no actual evidence, but I anticipate that being the case.

[Chawk]

I don't think so, Jamie XX should be on later than SFA imo, but could be wrong.

[dirty_dog]

that would work really well for me as I'm not really into SFA but wouldn't mind seeing 30-40 mins of their set, Father John Misty was fantastic earlier.

With Hot chip last night its great to see all best acts are coming to Green Man, a canny wait now

[Timberford]

That's disappointing to find out that the set times won't be released in advance.

 

Anyway the lineup is great, which is the main thing!

 

I've not seen Dan Deacon live before, however, I'm reliably informed by friends that he is one of the best live acts around. Sounds like a great way to kick off the music.

 

Some of the acts lower down the bill I'm looking forward to are:

– Rozi Plain (Quiet, laid back pop, she also plays with This Is The Kit)

– Landshapes (Noisey, hazy, psyche-rock)

– Hannah Lou Clark (Sparse, dark, atmospheric)

– Ultimate Painting (lo-fi retro sounding indie)

 

My must sees:

– Hot Chip

– Goat

– St Vincent

– Father John Misty

 

I'm lucky enough to have previously seen Hot Chip, Antlers, All We Are, Jane Weaver, Villagers, Leisure Society & Slowdive. These are all excellent live & I would highly recommend them. Generally I try, where possible, to check out bands I haven't seen before but I will definitely be making an exception for Hot Chip. They're one of the best live bands I've seen and their new album is really good!

 

Others on my radar depending on times / clashes / mood :

– Wave Pictures

– Courtney Barnett

– Sylvan Esso

– This Is The Kit

– BC Camplight

– Steve Gunn

– Hookworms

– Jamie XX

– The Staves

– Viet Cong

– Waxahatchee

 

Reading this thread through though, it sounds like I need to check out Natalie Prass and Emmy The Great.

GreenMan-ers who nailed Glastonbury; Hot Chip (set of the weekend, magical stuff), Jane Weaver, Songhoy Blues, Father John Misty and the one Courtney Barnett song I caught. Couldn't watch any more Courtney or Goat due to clashes, so hoping to see them both in all their glory at Green Man. It's a bloody mercy that GM is a small site, there's loads I want to see, a mere fraction of acts at Glasto has mashed my feet into oblivion and turned my legs to jelly.

[sinc72]

We must be due another announcement soon. Only 6 weeks left!!

[glastobuds]

My guess based on nothing in particular is it will be early next week. Has anyone had their tickets yet? I know I'd had mine by this time last year.

[timeforheroes]

Green Man Rising final was last night, the winner opens the Main Stage - I expect announcing the winner plus the Thursday headliner will form part of that announcement, including a day split.

 

I think Glastobuds is right, best case tomorrow but most likely next week.

[teamcampesinos!]

Green Man have confirmed to someone on Twitter that Television are playing before Super Furry Animals on the Saturday night.

 

Not only does that sound supremely blissful, it also should hopefully mean a Thursday announcement and day splits are imminent! 

[glastobuds]

It's a pain if SFA and Jamie xx look like they will clash. Might not mean anything but I see clash finder (below) has all but cleared the decks other than for a couple of confirms...An announcement imminent perhaps??

'Fraid that was just me.

[The Placid Casual]

Is it ever poss to get tickets after they've sold out?

[glastobuds]

'Fraid that was just me.

Really? Could just put an hour between SFA and Jamie X, I'll send u a list of all the others as I think of them. Thanks

[timeforheroes]

Green Man confirm on Twitter that the day x day will be "in the next week or so" and that no times will be released until the festival.

 

The most annoying thing about the times is the way it looks on a lanyard. An A4 print of a clashfinder is absolutely perfect and yet festival programmes still fire out military time lists.

[timeforheroes]

Just seen Anton Newcombe (of Brian Jonestown Massacre) is touring an album he made with Tess Parks. I know someone on here mentioned they followed and retweet him - it could be that project.

[Bort]

I hope so, that would be a great add. Especially for me since Tess Parks said there won't be any shows in the US.

[dirty_dog]

Taking my aging folks with me and they don't have many miles in them, best place to camp or any advice welcome ?

[glastobuds]

The stewards will tell you the quieter spots. Generally best to explore a bit and not to camp near the entrances or the toilets! I camped in general area but near family area and it was fairly quiet. Unlike bigger festivals its ok taking fold up chairs into the arenas. As with all festivals dress for all eventualities but definitely take warm clothes the nights can get cold!

[SweepingTheNation]

Public Service Broadcasting's new single press release has Sunday listed.

[giantkatestacks]

A bit shocked to see that yoga classes etc have to be paid for but still very much looking forward to it.

Fifty quid for a massage? I must have misread that.

[Amy Lawn]

Fifty quid for a massage? I must have misread that.

There's a "massage" place in town that'll do you a "massage" for fifty quid...
