Green Man Festival 2017

[artbrut_architecture]

Listened to Timber Timbre and D.D Dumbo and was suitably impressed with both. They seem to be playing Sunday and Friday respectively according to their websites.

After some digging it seems Michael Kiwanuka is playing the Saturday, Kate Tempest the Friday, Hinds the Thursday, Julia Jacklin the Friday, Hurray for the Riff Raff the Friday, Lambchop the Saturday.

Does anyone know what sort of time a clashfinder gets put together?

I did the one on Clashfinder General last year.  The first version was on 9th June, which I guess must have meant that GM had just released some days splits, stages and presumed running order, with my timings being based on previous years.  I do remember that one of the settlers (i.e. who are on site on the Monday) then sent me a photocopy of the schedule, which was the first sight of the real sequence/timings.

Do we have any word/expectation of Far Out headliners?

Sleaford Mods? LIft to Experience? Hard to gauge how popular they are really but is it similar to booking lush?

 

 

[artbrut_architecture]

I would say Sleaford Mods are playing after dark on the Saturday in the Fat White Family slot. I think Kate Tempest is the Friday headliner and it wouldn't surprise me if LTE were headlining on one of the other days. Maybe Thee Oh Sees or Angel Olsen?

[Justiceforcedave]

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that Ryan is the Saturday headliner as the poster suggests.

[artbrut_architecture]

Think he's the Sunday. Sure I read somewhere it was Future Islands on the Friday and PJ on the Saturday.

[The60ftOctopus]

Green Man facebook just confirmed that Future Islands are the Friday night headliners.

Wishing Mr Samuel T Herring (from Friday night headliners Future Islands) a humongously HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Also their new album is excellent! 

[Chawk]

Ticket bought! (I think I'm just going to start getting early birds next year)

Listening to Jessica Pratt's debut on repeat again. It's a great album and another case of someone I'd not heard before appearing on the GM lineup and becoming one of my favourites (albeit 5 years after it was released). I will buy her 2nd soon.

I'm wondering if and hoping there's any chance of Mount Eerie touring the UK and playing.

Day splits coming next week.

Are we thinking that this will come alongside more acts being announced?

Are there much more acts to add? Not sure, I reckon we've had the majority of them. 

Might get one or two smaller acts I guess. 

[artbrut_architecture]

I'm sad but I counted up last years bands from the Mountain Stage, Far Out and Walled Garden and got 93. There's not that many announced this year and that's not accounting for some of those going to Chai Wallahs and GM Rising Stage.

Hopefully that means there's a few more surprises although the line-up is brilliant so far.

 

[PresentlyTense]

Yeah, I'd imagine there's at least one more announcement. Pretty sure they said they Ride are the only Thursday act so far, so there should be a few more for that day alone. 

[timeforheroes]

I think Hinds are Thursday too, not 100% though.

I think there is more to come - I'm already worrying about clashes.

Strong as the bill is, I'm not convinced there is 3 sub headliners and 3 far out headliners there so far. I reckon there's 1 to come in May or June.

Damn. Thats us missing pj or ryan adams then. Really annoying.

[artbrut_architecture]

Thee Oh Sees are playing the Saturday which means they'll probably clash with PJ Harvey which is a blow.

[PresentlyTense]

Where did you see that?

[PresentlyTense]

Kate Tempest is on the Friday according to her website. 

[timeforheroes]

Is she defo far out headliner? Does make sense I guess.

[PresentlyTense]

Not sure, mate. Will be happy if she's clashing with future islands rather than PJ. Just done a bit of digging on people I want to set and it appears Johnny Flying is  on Thursday,  Hurray for the Riff Raff Friday, and Timber Timbre on Sunday.

It was on their website. I'm assuming that they will be Far Out Tent headliners but I suppose they could be on before PJ? I think that will be Michael Kiwanuka though.

[PresentlyTense]

From how the lineup is displayed on the website it looks like Michael Kiwanuka will be a headliner to me. 

[artbrut_architecture]

It wouldn't surprise me if so, but Warpaint were in "that" position last year and subbed on the main stage. Man, this is getting line-up poster dense now...(!).

I've resigned myself for the usual clashes, it's always painful but whatever I see I'll be happy I'm sure.

[dentalplan]

It would certainly surprise me if Kiwanuka was a Far Out headliner and Thee Oh Sees played the Mountain Stage. Seems like a complete Trading Places jobby.

The poster comes down pretty much how I'd have expected the stages to. Removing Ride it goes Shins - Kiwanuka - Tempest; who I'd anticipate subbing (reverse order of days) and then Thee Oh Sees and Sleaford Mods who I woulda expected headlining Far Out. Angel Olsen follows that but that doesn't seem right for the final one, so maybe Lambchop or just someone else not announced? Just a prediction anyway.

Can say that despite it being a pretty dense lineup during the day, it doesn't whet my appetite that much at the moment across the upper reaches and I'll probably look at other fests and pencil this in for next year instead.
