Green Man 2026

[ElGanzo]

Have gone for a top 5 of those I've never seen as otherwise was too hard! 

 

Friko

Horsegirl

Greg Freeman

Lael Neale

Dove Ellis

 

My rising acts with a lot of listening still to do: 

Madra Salach (these were pretty close to getting into the top 5 list) 

Ribbon Skirt

Big Long Sun

Little Grandad

 

[Stillill42]

Seamus Fogarty's new album is fantastic! More headaches....

Well, there's so much to choose from... but my top five must sees are:

 

Anna Calvi

Sparks

Cat Power

Beta Band

Smerz

 

That said, the last three may change but Anna Calvi is absolutely non-negotiable - I first saw her in 'How The Light Gets In' in Hay on Wye and she was utterly wonderful.  I'm hugely blessed to live between that festival and Green Man, the Welsh Marches are a deeply satisfying place to live.

Totally with you on Anna Calvi. I excluded her from my list of 5 as I have seen her before. Four times in one year the last time she toured properly! So yep I’ll definitely be on the barrier. 

[Chazwozza]

I’ll see you there!

Couldn't agree more. He's locked in to kick off my Saturday and could easily have been in my top 5 list.

Anna Calvi and Wilco I've just kept missing again and again. I'm so glad they're at Green Man this year!

Just out of Beta Band in Dublin, fantastic gig, they're going to be great on the Mountain stage. I'll be at Mannequin Pussy. One clash sorted.

Yup - that Aldous/Getdown situation is going to need a decision!

 

It's worse than that! Aldous / Getdown / Pcha; and I'm currently thinking Pcha as I've seen the other 2 before.

So no love on here for The Itch on Rising?

Really like them but too many clashes. I’m hoping they might pop up on RTT or the Clashfinder is wrong!

Confirmation of flock of dimes drop out and a couple of new announcements and switch arounds with Madra Salach now playing thursday ( a shame as i thought they would be great in that rising headline slot!). Can't say I know much about the new additions, but will enjoy exploring! 

Do we think this reduces the chances for the secret sets on the mountain stages?

An act has been added to Mountain on both days where it was previously short, so I'd say that rules out secret sets there.

Arrr Eaves Wilder moved over to the mountain stage from Far Out! How do we think that Madra Salach added onto the Thursday Far Out line up might change the set times? Hoping it means that it reduces the Mogwai & CVC clash but i think that could be wishful thinking.

It won't at all, they're fourth down.

[Stillill42]

Well if nothing else, Madra Salach into Friko into Lime Garden into Mogwai makes for a helluva Thursday!

Eight for Mountain on Friday and Saturday, but only seven on Sunday - not a decent indication that Sunday might have a secret set?

Four weeks to go, team.

 

Any eFests Settlers planning on giving us the ultimate present by posting the full set times from the programme on the Monday?

 

Lifelong legend status is guaranteed!

10 th of August seems a bit too fine for my liking especially for people like me who bought on resale from Tixel adding an extra stress level! Don’t know why they have to be such secret squirrel about it all. Just send em out and put us out of our misery. But glad to hear I’m not the only one waiting!

Agreed, quite stressful. Not sure why the necessity of such a late date on a sold out festival.
