Green Man 2021

[semmtexx]

Probably already been discussed but is there an efests meet up planned? 

[boaboaboa]

Hi gang, more questions from me!

Has anyone managed to get a car parking ticket yet?

Also, is there usually a site map released?

Any tips on camping areas, or is it just a free for all?

Can't really answer car park or camping questions as we always go to the settlers camp from Monday.

Site map will probably be very similar. It hasn't changed much in recent years. One of us who arrives on Monday will put pictures up once we have got a programme.

Another first time goer here. Got Settlers tickets and am planning on going the Monday.

Someone mentioned the shop before - is it like basics like toilet roll, tobacco, camping bits rather than food? Just wondering what sort of food we could potentially get as would hope to cook abit for the first few nights.

On the settlers page it mentions a local butcher selling produce - anyone used this before?

Suppose going out during the day Tuesday / Wednesday should be fine but just wondering what we could actually get there rather than bring with us 

Cant bloody wait anyway

 

edit - does settlers get quite busy or is it pretty laid back for a few days?

Settlers is very laid back. I'm a bit crap at guessing but I reckon a few thousand are there for it.

There's a few stalls open, the butcher's is decent and they sell pies and stuff too. You could survive without going off site if you had to. Some other food available but not loads, they normally have a stage/food place called Hurley Burley but last time the owners had signs up looking to sell it so not sure if it will be there this year. 

There's a bar and a stage for evening entertainment where you get 3 to 4 bands a night, normally all Welsh artists. Outside it there's a field with bbq's and a big fire where everyone congregates to toast marshmallows in the evening. In the day time they host activities and games.

We always go off-site in the first few days. We don't bring much food with us so make a trip to do a big shop in Abergavenny either Monday afternoon or Tuesday to see us through. We always climb a random mountain as well on one day. If you go up Table Mountain you can see Green Man from the top which is pretty cool.

There's some good local pubs and walks, a lot of people walk to Crickhowell to get shopping as well so you don't necessarily have to drive anywhere.

Thank you - that’s really helpful. No doubt I’ll probably have some more questions!

Just really looking forward to it now 🙂

I'm not sure if anyone is still after a single Thursday adult ticket, but I've just requested to list one on Fanticks so it should be up shortly.

Unfortunately The Maytals Band have cancelled their UK tour.

Aww man, what a shame. Hopefully we'll get a replacement announced soon.

Both Pukkelpop (Belgium) and Lowlands (Netherlands) in the same weekend as Green Man are cancelled, so there should be plenty bands available to fill the spaces, no?

I haven’t seen any discussion about one. Is there one usually? Won’t be sure if I could make is as I plan to drink heavily throughout and will spend much time lost in happiness.

Can we petition them on Twitter to steal some of the Pukkelpop and Lowlands acts?  Some great electronic stuff on there.  John Talabot to finally make an appearance after cancelling the other year? 

[Mouseboy11]

How accurate is the clashfinder currently with placings? and are we expecting many more additions to the lineup?

Did he? I was into annual Glastonbury by then, so only enjoying GM vicariously by the line up. I noticed JT and was quite jealous! Didn't know he'd cancel. 

However, the FA-AD line up is 'complete' isn't it, and that's pretty much the only slot for him that would work...

Please god I hope they steal Altin Gun from Pukkelpop

They're at EOTR, but more to the point I really doubt, even with today's opening out, that any festival's eleventh hour potential replacement list is going to feature non-Brits.

There's definitely one (not counting replacements) as Rising winner Teddy Hunter is playing the Mountain Stage. The order on the Clashfinder is as per the day split announcement graphics.

FYI emailed them and Orange car park tickets are sold out… available on the day though 🤷‍♂️

Recommending settlers car park tickets which thought was strange

I might be ultra cautious, but weren't GM trying to encourage people not to leave the site once they have arrived. Not sure if this applies to settlers as well, but the guidance wouldn't really make sense if it didn't.
