If anyone is interested we’ve put out a new episode of our podcast talking about our favourite green man rumours ahead of the release tomorrow - it’s how to build a festival episode 8

Dammit… I thought it had been several now!! When they released the first lineup in January did they do a second one on March 1st?

Exactly! Glastonbury isn't delayed at all - and I'm not sure that Green Man is particularly late either. Neither have to rush - they are both sold out. Its nice, but not essential, for us punters to have the line up months in advance, and it makes no sense to rush a line-up from a festival's perspective unless they have tickets to sell.
Patience!
Indeed, if there was a green man thingy, it would say there is indeed a pattern and the pattern for the last few years has been to release the lineup on st David’s day. So it is bang on time

Offering a free ticket for rolling over your ticket is literally the equivalent of a payday loan

Etta Marcus will probably end up playing, she had her not sold out tour just after the poster came out, so can see her being on a future release. She was really good.
The others apart from Camera Obscura could all get added. They feel a bit refined and 6 Music for the Y Not crowd (and I include myself in that!!).
Also, I don't think it's really a festival aimed at people who'll be expecting a 50/50 split, I'd even go as far as to say they'd lose much of their audience by going down that road
And to be fair, I think they can have an impact by making ‘more effort’ without threatening their core business model. 50/50 split is always a bit arbitrary for me in any case; some of these festivals appear to make ‘no effort at all’ and that’s where I just think it’s quite lazy.
The ones getting BBC money in my opinion should be made to make ‘a real effort’ to get more diversity on their lineups

Feel free to suggest other acts you feel could/should be there?
This is a self fulfilling problem though. Suggest they could’ve done more; here’sa few that appear likely to be around at about the same time this year for example that I’ve just worked out whilst sitting on the loo
CMAT
Camera obscura
Etta Marcus
the Big Moon
Prima Queen
Dehd
Liz Lawrence

Left field one maybe, but I could see the Big Moon for Thursday night headliner. Big festival relationship and they’ve not played for a while

It’s a private business.
they do publish the amount of corporation tax they paid, which was significantly higher this year than last year.
Makes sense I guess as the festival hadn’t been on the previous year

The criteria is to meet two of the following:
less than £10m turnover
net worth of less than £5m
fewer than 50 employees
but that’s all about to change soon - all companies will have to file full accounts including p&l and balance sheet
Thanks! They must’ve been carefully managing that balance sheet as their turnover must be multiples of that

On a similar note - for what it's worth, and if anyone wants to pick through them, the accounts for GFL ( https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02737866/filing-history ) and GFEL ( https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04348175/filing-history ) were published yesterday.
Any idea why they don’t have to publish a p&l?

I have some enormous blisters!

Just listening to this and liking it. Are they playing this year? Can’t work out which stage.
Woodsies - excellent band, they come off as really nice people and they have some absolutely terrific songs. Truly divisive in my group though so I’ll be there, but I think it’ll be just me plus one other!

Shame. Had some great times in Chameleon. Stand out being around 5:00pm one afternoon when the DJ was playing a Rock/Nu Metal set and dropped Killing in the Name. Whole tent pogoing and singing along instantly. Fucking great.
Is there any like for like replacement at all this year? Chameleon was a great failsafe for our group if there was nothing else happening
-
Thanks so much, v helpful!
-
Can anyone help me; if you’re not the lead booker in a group at worthy view - how does it work making sure you’ve got the appropriate ticket?
same question for car parking I guess
-
If he’s there anyway, do we think Swell Season could be in play? Touring just after Glastonbury
-
Considering how busy it was for Metronomy last year it’s hard to imagine they could go back to not having the main stage open on Thursday again

Excellent work. Do we have any slots in there that we’re confident of already?

Honestly looking ever better chances for boygenius to headline... MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... Maybe even Franz Ferdinand?!?!
But haven’t they already been ruled out by the festival?
Would imagine we’ll see a few of those others on that lineup though - CLH is good, Primal Scream would be ace of course on the mountain

I don't have any info. But Bon Iver are busy and The National are likely too big, plus they're not doing any festivals so far.
Oh I fully agree; I’d just prefer if they were really pushing the boat out for them to do it for those than for Bjork.
also see Decemberists, Phoebe Bridgers, Flaming Lips etc

Was hoping that meant The National or Bon Iver personally!

This is definitely solvable. Frankly the likes of Tiny Rebel, Gipsy Hill, signature etc are reasonable operations now. Two tribes do a great job at end of the road; they could easily give areas over to some of these smaller breweries and split it up a bit. Would be a great approach
-
Chai wallahs used to be an awful lot better than now - they’ve clearly had budget cuts, they seemed to barely strong a lineup together this year and they were largely the same bands as last year. My wife enjoys it but I’d quite like to see something more interesting in that space. Something different though, not just more of the same green man fare.
round the twist has potential but this year was a joke, it was basically playing the same late night music as was in the far out and walled garden and during the day was boring as hell. Get some secret sets in there and something fun later on

Highlight of the weekend was the guy on the WhatsApp chat getting upset about Grove criticising landlords, revealing he WAS a landlord and then getting an absolute pasting from everyone else until he offered to meet them at the Cider Bus for a fRiEnDlY dEbAtE.
Also Scalping and Fat Dog were excellent.
Reminded me of the old Green Man ‘all night disco ruined my weekend’ thread on their forum

Green Man 2024
in other UK festivals

Weirdly despite the rain being fairly regular (though 2018-2022 were all quite dry), the ground conditions last year were the worst since an atrocious 2012.
I assume the timing and extent of the rain we got on the Friday evening was just an absolute killer for the site, but we’ve definitely had wetter overall years without having the same impact on the ground
