With a much-anticipated third album nearing completion, Laura joins the headliners Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine and Explosions In The Sky at the top of the ever-expanding bill for 2011.

A spokesman for Green Man said, "We can't wait to welcome her back with open arms for what promises to be another unmissable Green Man moment – we know all you fine, friendly folk out there will do the same."

Laura joins the previously announced Bellowhead, The Low Anthem, Villagers, The Burns Unit, The Ramshackle Union Band, Robyn Hitchcock, Sic Alps, The Gentle Good, The Travelling Band, Holy Fuck, Ellen and the Escapades, The Leisure Society, Lia Ices, Hannah Peel, Admiral Fallow, Duotone, Driver Drive Faster, Ute, Oh Ruin, The Doozer, Our Broken Garden, Emily Barker, 2:54, Bleeding Heart Narrative, Mancub Babywoman, Tweak Bird, Polar Bear, Dry The River, and Wild Nothing, also confirmed.

What started as a small party for 300 people eight years ago has blossomed into one of Wales' leading contemporary arts and music event, with an international reputation attracting discerning music lovers from across the globe. Now in its ninth year, acts as diverse as Robert Plant, Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals, Pentangle, Jarvis Cocker, Vashti Bunyan, Spiritualized, Joanna Newsom, Fout Tet, Wilco have all headlined in recent years, and music is at the heart of everything Green Man does.

But with an ever-expanding line-up of comedy, film, literature, science and the UK's only 24-hour festival drinks licence – not to mention the ritualistic burning of the giant Green Man.

Non-corporate, family friendly, independent and ethically minded, Green Man is proud to champion a wealth of worthy causes - notably mental health charity Mind.
