Green Man Festival 2015

[purell]

Yes! I need an adult and a child ticket. Good fortune will smile upon you forever if you can help!

[glastobuds]

There is still one 'mystery guest' you can cling on to....

Dont remember previous 'mystery guests' ? Anyone remember who they were and what stage they played on??

Metronomy were 'Special Guests TBA' in 2012 but only because they were contracted to Latitude...not sure if there's any festivals between now and GM that would cause a similar situation.

[glastobuds]

Thanks at least that gives me a starting point for making random guesses at unlikely candidates!

Could somebody from Festival Number 6 or End Of The Road be possible?

[glastobuds]

Mystery guests suggests band so I'll start with

St Etienne (playing e o r )

British Sea Power (f no 6)

And Public Image limited (tour new album in sept)

All based on nothing more than it would please me!

Do they sell gear like tents and wellies onsite like at Glastonbury? I know there's an option to have a pre-pitched tent, but it's really expensive. I'll be flying in from Copenhagen and then taking a train straight to Wales, so I won't have any time to go shopping beforehand.

yeah, they have a camping shop

but the Tangerine fields 2 man tent is only £70, dunno how much a tent will be at the shop.

Word. I think I'll just get one pre-pitched, then. May be worth extra to not have to set it up right after catching a plane, train, then bus.

 I'd imagine so, I've never needed wellies at greenman tho

I'm also travelling by train/plane/automobile, tangerine fields is a no brainer.

Good digging, Bort! Not many priorities on Sunday other than Owen Pallett, so it looks like I could be clear of a clash (although if he clashes with FJM I'll be pissed off, because I loved his Glastonbury show and would love to see it again). Doesn't look like we know when The Antlers are playing yet, they're a big one for me, so I hope there're no clashes there. I wonder who'll headline Far Out against the Super Furries, could it be Goat?

[dirty_dog]

does the far out tent go on later than the main stage? and is the Headliners always the last to play on there?

[Bort]

Judging from previous clashfinders, it varies. 

 

So I'm staying at the Abergavenny Hotel on the 19th and will take a shuttle to the fest the next morning. I had a question about trains and coaches.

 

Why is a one-way pass on the National Express the same price as a roundtrip? I can't do National Express both ways since I'm spending Wednesday in Abergavenny, and on Monday morning I'd rather go straight to London and then catch a ride to the airport rather than doing a shuttle and then a train with a transfer. Mainly because I'll be passed out on the bus, likely.

The Far Out tent turns into 'Far Out After Dark' after the headliners and has DJs (Eg- Jon Hopkins) until about 3am

[retromoz]

.....and on friday , its Hot Chip dj-ing & 2 Bears, Saturday is Jamie XX & Midland and sinday its Beyond the wizards sleeve.

 

That is...according to their twitters.

Day splits delayed again until tomorrow.

[Tuna]

If you don't know them, I highly recommend Viet Cong. Really, really amazing.

[Amy Lawn]

I listened to Viet Cong loads at the start of the year, then sort of forgot about them in amongst the tidal wave of releases since. I was in Fopp in Manchester the other day, and they were playing the album, it all came flooding back how great it was and how excited I am so see them. Them being in the initial announcement was definitely a big factor in me purchasing my tickets, I was playing that album a lot around that time.

[weston24]

Really looking forward to Viet Cong, didn't get to see them at Primavera.

 

Also happy that Jamie xx being on after dark means that he won't clash with SFA, right?

[timeforheroes]

The clashfinder last year had Caribou on the same time as MS headliner but listed as 'after dark' but I've not seen an actual timetable to know whether or not that is right.
