Green Man Festival 2013

[Al2006]

So, first announcement this Thursday (7th Feb) - https://twitter.com//status/296985227849519106

Who is everyone hoping for?

Would really love to see St Vincent & David Byrne there

Really looking forward to seeing the line-up, but did feel last year was missing something- for the first time it felt like the festival was taking things away rather than adding new things. Line-up wasn't particularly great IMO either, but I didn't mind that too much.

this line up is really looking good, really want to see phosphorescent live

[Amy Lawn]

John Cale and Edwyn Collins you say? Melody's Echo Chamber and Veronica Falls too! I just might have to give this ago in lieu of not being able to do End Of The Road...

"Literature, film, theatre, ceilidhs, all-night bonfires, comedy and secret gigs are part of the festival's identity"

sounds awesome (apart from the ceilidhs, and theatre, and bonfires, and literature) ....

[RattleTales]

Hello everyone.... hope posting this is not against the rules, please do let me know if it is. I'm part of a literary collective called Rattle Tales. We're putting on a couple of shows in Einstein's Garden at Green Man.

We're looking for writers (and would-be writers) who want an open mic slot at our shows... if you have a sciencey mini- story (up to 300 words) bring it along and we'll fit as many as we can in. We're in the Omni Tent at 1.15 on Friday and 12,30 on Saturday.

so, I'm thinking of attending, how many people attend this festival?

it looks good on the website, but if the 'courtyard' is constantly packed with drunks not so much.

well ......... as a veteran of over a million festivals, that was the best

absolutely fantastic

never met an arsehole all weekend, never waited more than a minute for a drink, everything reasonably priced, late entertainment & drinks licence, weather was superb .....

just awesome,

12 hour drive each way was concerning me, but it was well worth it.
