Green Man 2024

[mario man]

I managed to get a Little Folk 6-12 ticket about 2 weeks before the 2022 festival. I need two of them for next year, having missed out on Saturday. My youngest two kids are really keen to come along. Keeping the faith and I’ll be setting up alerts on both Fanticks and Twickets! 🤞

I’ve been to Greenman twice before without the baby in tow and loved it. We’ll be taking our little baby girl next year, she’ll be around 11 months old. Any tips from parents? Love the festival and looking forward to it even if it is hard to see how it’ll be possible right now 😂

We took our just turned 2 year old for his first greenman. It was great… probably easier before they start walking though tbh. You can just strap them to you 😂. Keep them topped up on milk and snacks. Get them used to ear defenders beforehand. We hired a trolley, but lot of people seems to take buggies (with big chunky wheels) which I think is easier; takes up less room, easier to get around.

I won't be going but I hope next year's line up is far better than this years.

Some great (and not impossible) names there, that would have me beaming from ear to ear. Be interesting to see how it compares with the final line up poster!

I'd be happy with a lot of that...but...you missed out The Wedding Present!!

We'd have to see who pulls out first.

What that excellent prediction is missing is a couple of notable reformed bands or at least some like Les Savy Fav who don't play the UK often, though obviously we might not know who those could be yet. We should get an idea when the bulk of the European festivals start announcing in December/January (I was about to put forward the Breeders as an example but their Olivia Rodrigo (!) US arena supports are over GM weekend, although I see they're doing some US dates with Belly later this month who'd do just as well)

[OddRon]

 I'd love The Smile, didn't manage to get to any of their dates but I reckon they cost a fortune to book, do we know of any independent festivals that are a similar size to Green Man that have managed to get them to play? With the Walkmen booked this year, I'm hoping there might be potential for Interpol at some point, they headlined a smaller UK festival earlier this year and I could see them doing a great job.

Would bite your hand off for that lineup. OPN would be a great booking for an after dark set. Bill R-J also a good shout seeing as he has a new album out next year and is touring.

I misread that as OPM. As in....'heaven is a halfpipe'.....*shudder*

Osees have announced a London show on Thursday 15th August 2024 - surely there's a big possibility they'll turn up at GM? 

[Tomos_]

Also PJ Harvey playing London on GM weekend - could also be a possibility?

Came here to post the same- being billed as ‘their only UK club show’ - got to be a shoe in for this. Have they played before?

Would be early to return as headliner, but also Gunnersbury Park gigs are Festival Republic events so there'd most likely be an exclusivity clause.

[OddRon]

Idles have a new album out in February,  I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but it'll have been 4 years since they headlined the far out stage, could see them headlining the main stage now.

2017. Headlined the Far Out.
