Think that's a great first announcement.

I've not been before but think I'm gonna go for this over Festival No.6 which I was also considering. St Vincent, Hot Chip, Goat, Courtney Barnett, Calexico, Matthew E White. Good job, plus there's another headliner to announce

Green Man is a great festival. We went last year for the first time and just kept going on about how lovely it was, so much so we bought tickets for Christmas presents for each other before knowing the line-up. Such a nice change not being surrounded by twunts you get at the bigger festivals.

[retromoz]

A good, solid first announement.

[CliffRichardsPissSack]

Is this Hot Chips first UK headlining slot?

Nah, they have headlined Camp Bestival and lovebox before

[LondonTom]

Oh thats a very very tempting line up!

If it was closer, I'd be all over it!

I'm doing both, Festival No 6 is amazing but never been to Green Man before

Hi,

Thanks

Orange car park is fine. Short 5 min walk to general camping. Booked tickets this morning once I saw line-up and still plenty to be announced. Actually now more excited about this than Glastonbury at the moment!!

Can also recommend Charles Bradley from this first announcement - caught him as part of Daptone super soul review on west holts stage at G last year.

Thanks for the advice, this will be my first year away from Glastonbury, going to stick to the smaller festivals from now on

[Amy Lawn]

My first Green Man festival is looking very very likely

[Amy Lawn]

Done! Tickets bought! With a line-up like that I couldn't say no!

Looks really good.

Green Man haven't recycled a headliner yet have they? Flaming Lips would be nice as they're around near the time but might be a bit much to ask for the fest to rebook them already. Beck is certainly around at the time and the only appropriate festivals left to announce slots he could take had him last year. I'd put money on it being Beck.

I think Joanna Newsom topped the bill early on when it was really small and again a few years later, but agree completely that thus far they have done really well for unique top 3s.

Neither Hot Chip or St Vincent are 'traditional' Green Man in the sense of Feist, Ben Howard, Kings of Convenience topping the bill, so it's interesting to see where they'll pitch the third.

Personally Manics Holy Bible show would be ideal, but I suspect it'll be more acoustic leaning than that. Or maybe Ride?

Is Laura Marling popular enough?

Wild Beasts?

Belle and Sebastian are doing the rounds.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Death Cab for Cutie for the last headliner perhaps?

[Amy Lawn]

I have a feeling Bore-a Marling will be the final headliner, Flaming Lips or B&S would be nice, Laura looks like their bread and butter, something for the regulars.

[cdm22]

*crosses everything for Beck*

[timeforheroes]

Beck would be great.

Do we assume Calexico and Goat are 2nd headliners? It's difficult to tell from past announcements isn't it?

Presumably Courtney Barnett will be a high profile slot because it's a UK exclusive. I reckon when the albnum comes out that will look a real coup.

Is she that popular then? She is playing a 200 capacity gig in Cambridge in April and that hasn't sold out yet.
