Green Man Festival 2015

[Bort]

I wonder where and when Emmy the Great will play. Seems she was on the mountain stage early in 2009.

Edit: Alasdair Roberts, Natalie Prass, and Zun Zun Egui on Friday. Hooton Tennis Club, Vok on Saturday. Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve, All We Are, and Black Yaya on Sunday.

An event page on Facebook for The 2 Bears has them on Friday, but that seems a bit odd since they share member(s) with Hot Chip. Double duty on the same day and all.

Prass has the Friday listed on her website, but that also says Green Man is in Glasgow, so maybe take that with a pinch of salt.

Isn't someone from Hot Chip (Alexis? Al Doyle?) usually in Atomic Bomb? Could be a busy evening for them.

[Amy Lawn]

Alexis definitely was in Atomic Bomb when I saw them, the line-up changes, though, Al could be in there now as well, he does look quite similar to Pat Mahoney from a distance...

[markussnoopy]

Speaking of alexis it would be great to hear this version at green man:

Absolutely delighted that William onyeabor will be represented in some form.

usual questions here I apologize in advance but when do stage times get announced usually and when are tickets sent?

[Bort]

Just bought my ticket in case things don't work out with a press pass. If I do get press, will it be easy enough to get rid of my ticket? I imagine so since it's almost sold out.

The official website is sold out of adult tickets now. Apparently there are a hundred or so on Ticketmaster as of this morning.

[timeforheroes]

The Staves Saturday, Steve Gunn Sunday

124 acts in total on the Efest listing, 145 last year (includes comedy, doesn't include cabaret etc)

So expecting one last announcement of 14-20, largely for Green Man Rising I would expect, but presumably a Thursday headliner and maybe a couple more of note.

@markussnoppy - The day split will be in July, but they have never officially given times.

A clashfinder exists for every previous year which is cobbled together as a best guess based on the year before.

I think it's real poor form not to offer times in advance. I'd give them the tenner now for the programme if they want it.

let us know if you need to get rid of the ticket, my daughters boyfriend wants to come but doesn't have the cash at the minute

[Amy Lawn]

I'm intrigued to think who they could pull out for Thursday's headliner, anybody else reckon British Sea Power seem likely?

[glastobuds]

Don't get my hopes up! Do you have inside info on this or just a guess? I think they could do it but why the big secret? My thoughts looking at existing line up is more likely something more folk - but that is just a shot in the dark.

[Bort]

It's too bad Latitude got Warpaint as an exclusive. Would be an amazing add.

Is Dan Deacon the only act confirmed for Thursday so far? Perhaps someone in a similar/compatible vein?

[CanWeRest]

Been thinking about doing this festival. Is it a good one to go to solo?

[Amy Lawn]

Just cuz they have a relationship with Green Man looking at past line-ups, and they're around. BSP currently doing their debut in full, which was released the same year GM started (tenuous).

[glastobuds]

I did wonder about David Byrne given his connection with St Vincent and Atomic Bomb etc...maybe a Talking Heads exclusive - cud happen

[timeforheroes]

Talking Heads reunion would be Glasto/Coachella stuff, not a tent at Green Man.

Sea Power seem about right. Waterboys and Patti Smith last 2 years, so not massively popular - both older acts so maybe something along the lines of Julian Cope or maybe they've bagged The Sonics?

[Chawk]

I would love BSP to be there too, but I'm not sure it's likely as they are playing Festival No 6 - it's so competitive now with GM, Eotr & FN6 all going for the same market late summer.

I have an outside bet on Chilly Gonzales being the Thursday headliner, it really could be anyone as it was Tim Minchin in 2011.

[5co77ie]

tickets sold out

[Chawk]

Courtney Barnett is playing the Far Out tent according to sold out email, thought she would have been main stage.

[timeforheroes]

Yeah I thought that too.

She's on Sunday, which means clashing with St Vincent if she headlines, or maybe playing before Public Service Broadcasting?

[retromoz]

i hope that will be the case. I do not like St. Vincent. I, however, LOVE Courtney Barnett.

[timeforheroes]

She's a couple of rungs above them on the poster, so headlining seems likely.

[Chawk]

But thinking back to previous years Courtney would be a weak headliner for me on Far Out, compared to like BSP,Swans, Caribou etc

[Bort]

Courtney Barnett is playing the Far Out tent according to sold out email, thought she would have been main stage.

That's a major bummer. Sounds like it won't be possible for me to see her, then.

[Amy Lawn]

If she's clashing with St Vincent then I'll have to miss her, hopefully I can see her at Glastonbury instead.

[Bort]

How early will I need to get to the Mountain Stage to be in the front for St. Vincent?

[retromoz]

well, the 2 times we got to the front (for Jarvis Cocker & Flaming Lips), we just.......walked up after the act before finished. So.......not that early at all.
