Green Man Festival 2016

[dirty_dog]

Anyone have any joy getting the £50 tickets ?

[cdm22]

I don't think we'll know for a while until Green man have gone through the submissions.

[giantkatestacks]

it was almost Glasto like though wasnt it? 

[cdm22]

A bit of a farce you mean?

[dirty_dog]

ha ha, yep it was but I think that's what they want, what time did you get through ?  I was 12:09

[Amy Lawn]

Surprised with how tempted I was to go for these, it appears my first weekend with the Green Man had a bigger effect on me than I'd realised he'd had.

[cdm22]

We were all around 12.03 once they finally put the flippin link up correctly! It seemed like an eternity after F5ing from 11.55!

[dirty_dog]

I didn't get the link till 12:09

 

if I don't get a cheapo ticket I'll wait till next year before getting one.

[giantkatestacks]

I see someone on FB crowing that they had one (the number was on the screen)so it must have told people when they registered if they had been successful. gah.

[cdm22]

Well I didn't see a notification but I got a £50 ticket (and so did two friends of mine and they didn't know until yesterday either)

[dirty_dog]

who do you fancy for the headliners then?

 

hoping for The National myself

JOANNA NEWSOM! Got to be, hasn't it?

[Blannyboy]

As there are similarities in the acts at Green Man and the End Of The Road, would Sufjan Stevens be a possibility for next year, he certainly put on a totally brilliant performance at EOTR:

 

[Amy Lawn]

Sufjan was incredible on his tour this year, one of the best live shows I've ever seen, possibly the single best. Him playing would guarantee me being there.

Have to completely agree with you, didn't think anything would top seeing Kate Bush last year, but this did. Would seriously consider foregoing EOTR if he were to play

[Zoo Music Girl]

What was this £50 thingy about then? Sounds like a good deal.

I'm well tempted by this next year. In fact I was well tempted last year but so many acts doubled up on Glastonbury that I couldn't justify it. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for the line up... its normally out early ish isn't it? The first names at least.

Also crikey it's quiet round these parts.

It was basically the first 100 tickets registered for were 50quid if you twittered and facebooked and it turned into a bit of an F5 refresh frenzy.

 

Cant remember when the line-up was out last year - they stagger it a lot.

[Chawk]

Have a good feeling about this year! Think GM and EOTR will be fighting it out for Joanna Newsom and Bon Iver (if they do more shows next summer)

[dirty_dog]

bon Iver would be great, would he be a headliner if he played?

Yeah, 100%. They'd be one of the biggest headliners they've had. Don't think any arena level acts have played before.

Yeah, they've played both Green man and EOTR before too, in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

 

No news yet though, other than maybe Cat Power:

Oh my god, I would love that. I was devastated that I was on holiday when she played Manchester the other month.

[dirty_dog]

would Alabama Shakes be a worthy headliner?

I'd be pretty disappointed with that, but I only know their singles and didn't realise how big they are...it's the sort of thing that could happen though so good call

[zahidf]
