Green Man 2009

[Corporal Clegg]

Who's going this year then? This will be my third year and just love this festival.Can't decide if Green Man or End of the Road is my favourite festival! They're both excellent i suppose.

Only a few names confirmed so far with Bon Iver and Wilco being the pick of the bunch.Also looking forward to seeing Wooden Shjips.

Should be another top line-up and looking forward to this immensely,although would really appreciate a mud free year this year! Conditions last year were grim to say the least.

yeah really looking forward to this year's event.

the holiday ticket is a really good idea as the site is just an amazingly stunning setting.

[Corporal Clegg]

Amazing setting if you ignore the mud!!

[Robin Bird]

Waiting for the next line-up announcements ...

Very excited, they normally blow all the other similarly sized festivals out of the water - and the bar has been set very hight this year.

Can't wait, come on Green Man! - It must be sunny this year!

I saw The Leisure Society in Bristol on Friday night (they were superb) and they said they're playing Green Man this year. Very good news!

[Corporal Clegg]

Some quality additions just added namely Grizzly Bear,Vetiver and Dirty Three.And the site's just been blessed by the arch druid of Glastonbury-that's f**ked it for a mud free year then!

I've not been to Green Man before, but really would like to go this year as the lineup is looking fantastic and I've heard great things about this festival. Could anyone tell me if it's likely to sell out quickly as I won't be able to buy a ticket for at least another month.

I think it sold out a few weeks before the festival started last year so you should be alright in a month's time hopefully?

[Corporal Clegg]

Well pleased with Animal Collective being added just loving 'Merriweather Post Pavillion' at the moment. Bit surprised they are headling on the Friday but should go down well with the Greenman crowd I think.

Greenman is turning out a bit Pitchfork Festival UK... all the better for it i say!

So what is this festival like? Is it all family like and loads of little kids or is there some people my age (im 19) and up for it music people?

The only festivals ive been to before are V festival and Rock Werchter in Belgium - so how does this festival compare?

Seeing Wilco, Bon Iver and Animal Collective might have swayed me!

Thanks for the reply.

Do the headliners really only get 1 hour to play!? Ive been looking at the running times here http://www.last.fm/user/bonusgrooves/journ...h%27s_uncut_mag

and it seems the most any band will get is 1 hour? Id like to see them for a bit longer, or do they usually over run?

[to-me-to-you]

Hello and happy Sunday!

Took me a while to find this forum... I'm really excited for this year's festival!! How's everybody else feeling??

[to-me-to-you]

ooh also, who do you think the third headliner will be?

[Al2006]

Personally im hoping for elbow, the flaming lips or tv on the radio!

[to-me-to-you]

I can't see TVOTR playing this year, but I would love to see them play Green Man... Next year perhaps!? Elbow hmmm, would be nice to see them perform One Day Like This with a mountain in the background! Flaming Lips I just can't see it, and I aint that bothered either.................................... WHoever it is, i'm sure I'll be happy. Lineups great already.

[Corporal Clegg]

Personally would love the Flaming Lips,but if not how about PJ Harvey? Saw her and John Parish last week and thought Polly and John and the band sounded amazing.

[to-me-to-you]

Just read that the third headliner is going to be announced next week!.. I wonder

[sebanova]

I've just been checking this festival out, the line-up seems riddled with some amazing bands I've never had the chance to hear before, I've just got into Peter Boderick who plays some really pretty tunes as well some big acts like Animal Collective and Bon Iver on the bill.

Only trouble me and my mate are having is we're both 17 and so it's looking we won't get in with children passes so one of us will after buy an adult ticket. Does anyone know how strict the festival is or if the crowd is friendly enough to adopt us to get us in?

[to-me-to-you]

'riddled with some amazing bands.' I agree and love the way you put it! I think there will be some kind hearted individuals that will adopt you... Go for it I say.

[Al2006]

So do the headliners only get one hour ?

[BrionyGrace]

Boyfriend and I are going for the first time this year, wanted to go the past few years but something else has always come up. The lineup is pretty darn good this year. I cannot wait. Would really like Bonnie Prince Billie to be other headliner t'would be awesome!

[Al2006]

Can anyone whose been before shed a bit light on..

Beer prices!

Campfire - does it go on all night?

DJs- do DJ's play throughout the nights in tents or something?

thanks
