Green Man 2026

[SweepingTheNation]

Wilco have been added to Oya the previous weekend.

[OddRon]

That would be lovely, have always missed them when they’ve come to the UK

[OddRon]

Trying to compile a list of acts I’m personally interested in that are around and feel “Green-Man-Y” 

 

Cmat feels too soon since this year, same with Getdown playing last two years.

Geese and Mac Demarco probably more likely for EOTR.

Amyl subbed in 2023 so unclear.

Idles haven’t played since 2019 but might be too big now to headline.

Wilco haven’t played since 2009 and seem the right kinda size.

Westside cowboy were on the rising stage this year but have blown up so could be back this year.

Doing green man apparently (one of the members self confirmed at a Q and A this year)

(This relates to Beta Band btw, from the EOTR forum)

 

I agree Getdown Services wouldn't be back next year if they had played a billed set this year, but given it was a secret set I think the door is probably open for them to be back in 2026.

Anyone from here that we can expect? Viagra Boys? They’ve not been at the festival since 2022.

Ignore this it’s fake

[OddRon]

Well that’s Mac and CMAT ruled out for definite.

Pulp seem oddly big for a festival of that size, would happily get 3x the total attendance of EoTR on the pyramid stage if they played there everyday.

Eotr does get a big pull every couple of years, Sufjan and Tame Impala for their last big anniversary. Vampire Weekend in 2018. They’re very lucky to have such good word of mouth amongst artists that many are happy to play out of curiosity or for a lesser I reckon.

Being realistic - either EotR have broken the bank and paid (by far) their biggest headliner fee ever, or more likely Pulp just want to do it and so have taken a substantially lower fee than they could get at over a dozen other festivals.

 

Hell, it's possible that both are true.

Amyl & The Sniffers announced for Paredes de Coura along with Kurt Vile and Aldous Harding. Could see all three of those at Green Man this year.

That would be lovely. 

[OddRon]

That caption is giving me hope!

[Sawman]

Hope so - will love them to be there. Raises my hopes too for Mannequin Pussy given they dropped out a couple of years ago as they are a great too. 

[OddRon]

They were both excellent at Reading last year but felt very unsuited to the current state of the festival and would go down much at Green Man.

Would love to see Tindersticks headline the main stage at night . Deserve more recognition

If they didn't headline in 2010, when capacity was about half what it is now and it only just sold out in time, they definitely aren't headlining now.

looks like Geese have been added to Oya so hopefully that bodes well for GM.

 

Also Stereolab are at WOH the same weekend so would presume there is a decent chance they’ll be at GM given its been a while since they past played.

[OddRon]

Do we reckon those Geese R+L dates rule them out of Green Man? I can see them being the secret headliner at EOTR now. A bit like how Wet Leg did that secret set at EOTR the same year they played R+L.

That's been my assumption - the Geese R&L rumour has been around for a few weeks, they have London dates on the Tuesday and Wednesday of EOTR week and Simon Taffe singled them out for praise in an interview just before this year's festival suggesting he already had them booked and had to again come to an agreement with Festival Republic.

 

On the subject of the R&L announcement I'm surprised at (so far) no Last Dinner Party - as they'd probably have headlined EOTR (Abigail was quoted in their press bumf last year) and there's surely no need to keep them secret, I wonder if they're at GM given even Pete Paphides on their official podcast said they were on too small a stage when they played Rising in 2023.

[OddRon]

Yeah they seem very likely for this, I’d enjoy it. I refuse to pay for their tour after cancelling Cardiff two years in a row with no reschedule but I’d happily see them at a festival I’m already at.

Hoping we get Real Estate and The Drums.

Bad graphic design on that poster, but I think that's Sunny Day Real Estate

Oh bugger. Reminds me of that Kilby Block Party 2026 poster that says “Father Japanese” and “John Misty Breakfast”!

And the headliner being in small caps in a different part of the poster should be an instant jail sentence.
