Green Man 2009

Who's going this year then? This will be my third year and just love this festival.Can't decide if Green Man or End of the Road is my favourite festival! They're both excellent i suppose.

Only a few names confirmed so far with Bon Iver and Wilco being the pick of the bunch.Also looking forward to seeing Wooden Shjips.

Should be another top line-up and looking forward to this immensely,although would really appreciate a mud free year this year! Conditions last year were grim to say the least.

I've not been to Green Man before, but really would like to go this year as the lineup is looking fantastic and I've heard great things about this festival. Could anyone tell me if it's likely to sell out quickly as I won't be able to buy a ticket for at least another month.

So what is this festival like? Is it all family like and loads of little kids or is there some people my age (im 19) and up for it music people?

The only festivals ive been to before are V festival and Rock Werchter in Belgium - so how does this festival compare?

Seeing Wilco, Bon Iver and Animal Collective might have swayed me!

I can't see TVOTR playing this year, but I would love to see them play Green Man... Next year perhaps!? Elbow hmmm, would be nice to see them perform One Day Like This with a mountain in the background! Flaming Lips I just can't see it, and I aint that bothered either.................................... WHoever it is, i'm sure I'll be happy. Lineups great already.

I've just been checking this festival out, the line-up seems riddled with some amazing bands I've never had the chance to hear before, I've just got into Peter Boderick who plays some really pretty tunes as well some big acts like Animal Collective and Bon Iver on the bill.

Only trouble me and my mate are having is we're both 17 and so it's looking we won't get in with children passes so one of us will after buy an adult ticket. Does anyone know how strict the festival is or if the crowd is friendly enough to adopt us to get us in?

Boyfriend and I are going for the first time this year, wanted to go the past few years but something else has always come up. The lineup is pretty darn good this year. I cannot wait. Would really like Bonnie Prince Billie to be other headliner t'would be awesome!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
