**Green Man Festival 2022 Playlist**
The idea behind this is that I select my three favourite songs from my favourite artists/bands at GM (which are in order in the playlist, with my favourite being at the top - i.e. Jenny Hval).
If there isn't an artist there, it's because I don't know them (yet) or I don't like them. If there's only a few songs, it's because I only like one or two of their songs or maybe they only have one or two released songs.
I'll update it fairly continually as I listen to the artists/bands I don't know.
I've tried doing something similar but going with their top 10 most played songs in most recent year of touring. I hate getting into an artist when they're announced for a festival to find out they don't play the songs that got me into them.
-
I was already excited for beach house, ty segall, metronomy, parquet courts, ezra furman, Willie j healey and Alex g but after a quick listen the following sound like they'll be great:
Yves tumor
Dry cleaning
Katy j pearson
Pip blom.
-
Super chuffed with that, lots of acts I love and I've been trying to see Beach House for 6 years now.
-
I'd love the National but if they can't get Nick Cave I don't see them being able to get The National either, All Points East seems to rank those two artist at the same tier.
-
What about The Chemical Brothers? Playing the Saturday at All Points East, would fit the same sort of thing as caribou or four tet perhaps?
-
Assuming they don't have the biggest budget after covid and not every act is willing to play abroad yet I'm gonna go for a nice safe bet of Beach House, James Blake and some boring safe UK act that is playing everywhere else. I would die if it was Animal Collective though.
-
Really hoping they pull it out the bag this year with headliners, with it being the anniversary I was hoping something similar to the scale of End of the Road's anniversary a few years back (Tame Impala, Sufjan Stevens and War on Drugs). Not necessarily those acts, just acts of that size. Beach House would be great for me, hoping we get something that no one is predicting rather than someone always on the festival circuit like Idles. I like Idles but I've also seen them loads now and Green Man/Eotr should be about seeing bands you can't see at every other festival.
-
They've gone back to saying soon now rather than very soon.

had a fantastic time for my first Green Man, loved Father John Misty, EELS and Car Seat Headrest the most and really nice site
only complaints were there never seemed to be a place that just played fun sort of club music like propaganda/indie hits stuff until like 2/3am unless I just couldn't find it, kinda wished there was something like the Disco ship/silent disco that eotr had
kinda felt like four tet/shy fx attracted a certain type of crowd, not necessarily all bas but plenty who it felt like they were only there for those two acts and decided to be an arse the rest of the time, particularly a group of lads who were loudly shouting during father John Misty as well as necking budweiser kegs and pissing on my girlfriend/others.
a very personal final complaint would be that a group of 3 turned up late, unpegged our guy ropes, camped in the fire lane right behind our tent and literally loudly shouted the entire time whilst exclusively pissing and smoking by our heads, they didn't see a single act until the third day and made us actively avoid being around our own tent
it's a testament to how good the festival's music and "vibe" that they didn't ruin our weekend but they came close at points

If anybody is cataloguing every time Will Toledo wears his weird pants, he was at it again last night. Top quality content.
When they did the bangers it was great, but I'm unsure about those new songs and please just leave the Stevie Wonder cover at home and do Something Soon ffs. Kinda makes it sound like I didn't enjoy it, I did tho.
thought the weird pants were a one off when I saw him in Bristol last year
I enjoyed the cover, little slow at the start
as someone who's seen him twice before play almost entirely hits, it was fun to just hear whatever really, didn't come in with any expectations or songs I wanted to hear cause I felt like I'd heard all favourites before, new stuff sounds great too

It's a Green Man Records tent. Doesn't have much stock in comparison to Rough Trade but has loads of performances today. Pretty much one an hour from 1pm to 8pm I think
where abouts is this tent please

Maybe he really hates Hangout At The Gallows. (Yes, I looked up FJM's recent setlists - occasionally it's Real Love Baby but the summer dates have almost always been that)
I care more about going gets tough by the growlers than I do hangout by the gallows by fjm, so yeah nail on the head
don't really wanna risk it cause like you said, occasionally it's real love baby or Hollywood cemetery forever sings
-
ah cheers
-
sorry if this has been asked but how long does it take to get from far out to main stage, I wanna catch all of growlers but be at Father John Misty by second song of his set
-
idles vs fjm made worse by having growlers end as fjm starts so gonna have to miss half their set too no doubt

Reckon there's any chance of them following in Truck's footsteps and moving IDLES to the main stage? Could be a pretty packed tent!
would very much prefer this because don't want father j and idles to clash
-
sorry I can't find anything about broken social scene cancelling? where have we seen this please
-
felt like a rude/touchy/too drugged up(don't have a problem with this but it felt like a key a minute) crowd tainted both Tame Impala and Killers for me

It’s actually unreal. I just went through the clashfinder and I don’t have a single gap. I’m going to be so exhausted.
I've got some big boy gaps here and there but I've never been to green man so excited to just wander really, for the main weekend I've got three solid acts each day really

So would you say you are a fan of Yo La Tengo? Interested because I absolutely love them on record but I’ve never seen them live.
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I Heard You Looking is the greatest song of all time.
yeah I really enjoy a few of their albums but their set just felt like a quiet jam for an hour with hardly any "hits" for headliner material at all

Also......as pleasant as yo la tenga are....they are NOT headliner material.....
they were shite on the Thursday of eotr last year as headliners, didn't deserve the smaller headline slot let alone this Friday one

Friday night is a bit dead but other than that I'm happy, shame about idles but glad I saw them at glasto now, just wished they'd play television cause I don't wanna pay to see them now they're doing Ally pally
-
sorry who are idles clashing with on main stage? father j or Sharon? I've never been before sorry

Hoping for something loud and fun in far out during Kraftwerk and Michael. Would love parquet courts and I know it won't be them as they're not high enough on the lineup but ezra furman would smash it.
