The Green Man Festival which takes place from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th August in the Brecon Beacons, Powys, Wales have announced that Pentangle will culminate their UK Tour by headlining the festival on Sunday as a world festival exclusive.
Festival goers will see the original Pentangle line-up, featuring Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox. Formed in swinging ‘60s London, Pentangle were one of the most exciting and innovative groups in the world, genuinely pushing boundaries and exploring new musical avenues. Simultaneously stars of the underground and darlings of the mainstream, they enjoyed an unprecedented degree of worldwide success for an acoustic band and their influence and musical impact is still revered and relevant today.
Spiritualized are the Friday headliner, Super Furry Animals the Saturday headliner, Richard Thompson and Howlin' Rain (featuring members of Comets On Fire and Sunburned Hand of the Man), Devon Sproule, Black Mountain, The National, Nina Nistasia, and School Of Language have also been named. Beirut were due to headline but had to cancel their performance. Expect more acts to be added to the line-up soon. For the line-up details as available please click here.
Returning this year will be the campfire ceilidhs, a second stage and DJ tent. The festival will be remaining the same size as in 2007, at 10,000 people. The festival offers plenty of live music with lots of folk and folktronica bands, plus film, literature, workshop and children's areas, and DJs.
Tickets are priced at £105 for the weekend including on-site camping and parking, with children aged 12 and under free. Live-in vehicles are an additional £35. Click here to buy.
