Green Man 2022

[OddRon]

Just punching myself that I've missed them with the lead singer because I'm loving their new album, completely respect their decision but it's criminal to release that album and then not perform any of it. It's always tricky when it comes to a lead singer leaving. 

[ljsawyer]

I really like the instrumentation on the first two BCNR albums but can never get past the vocals, in fact they kind of ruin the music for me. Hopefully with a new vocalist (or as an instrumental band?) they'll appeal to me more, though obviously I wish Isaac all the best considering what he's been going through recently.

Low last night were very good. A very different setlist to when I saw them a few times on the Double Negative tour so that was good. 

I'm still replaying the songs over in my head. Such a great evening. Was very surprised but pleased they played Sunflower. As for Two-Step, wow. 

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

BC,NR are my most seen band, which I feel very fortunate about.

We'll be at the Brighton show in about 3 weeks, which is currently (surprise London show notwithstanding) set to be their first without Isaac. Will post how that goes!

Do we think it's too late for Wet Leg to be added? Got really into them at the moment but just missed them playing Bristol and Cardiff and UK tour for November is sold out but noticed they're free and around weekend of Green Man.

Doubt it, big enough to warrant a slot on the poster, green man prob can’t afford them now

They really aren't that good live, you're not missing out on anything.

Also they played last year and repeat bookings in subsequent years don't happen that often.

I’m really surprised they’ve not been booked tbh.

I think there’s a small number of acts to come which will probably accompany the day split announcement.  There’s always the chance of a few drop outs - particularly nowadays - and they could be added in that context as well.

Aren't they in the US over late August/September? The seem to be up and down the West Coast in August but admittedly they do have a couple of weeks gap but certainly doesn't feel like a mid-sized Welsh festival gap to me.

Lowlands same weekend, usually shares a few acts with Green man doesn't it?

Metronomy were ace in Cardiff tonight and they're always even better at festivals so looking forward to seeing them again at Green Man. 

[lessthanwill1]

I think Metronomy are a pretty good Thursday night headliner.  I’m sure it’ll be good fun.  

I’m personally hoping for Minyo Crusaders or Charlotte Adigery & Bolis Pupul to be doing the equivalent Walled Garden slot, as I think either of them would be perfect for that.

Is it just me and my own taste but did the recent acts announcement seem like not a ‘big’ addition to the lineup?

Yeah me too but sure there's enough to entertain me anyway

Bicep definitely Saturday? Up against who do you reckon?

Totally agree.  But the first announcement was very big as a proportion of the overall lineup so there was only ever going to be one or two big additions.  tUnE-yArDs are obviously a fairly big booking but they might not be to your taste (I’m not a big fan either).  Some good after dark additions though!  Carwyn Ellis & Rio18 and Mandrake Handshake are also two good additions imo.

They’re down for Saturday on their website.

I’m assuming they’ll headline Far Out (which might be wrong though).  If that’s right, they’ll be up against Beach House or Michael Kiwanuka (as Kraftwerk are at All Points East on Saturday).  Them up against Michael Kiwanuka makes the most sense to me.

Oh man I really wanna see Kiwanuka so that means I might miss bicep here and Glastonbury 😞

I could be totally wrong!  There’s been some speculation that Green Man have managed to procure a special license to allow them to have an after dark slot on the Mountain Stage post headliners on Saturday just for Bicep!
