but what about the proposed unveiling next Wednesday? https://walesweek.london/whats-on/green-man-2023-you-heard-it-here-first

 

confused now!

"We want to launch the festivities for Green Man 2023, including a first peek at the charitable projects of the Green Man Trust."

In new context it seems like a London corporate event to launch everything the festival organisation does except the "musical artists" bit. It's not like they're promoting it generally.

It is. Outside the last two years (and one of those was by circumstance) the first announcement has been in January over the last decade or so. So is it embargo, booking trouble or just tactical?

I (obviously) don't know the answer - but they do have the luxury this year of having sold out as quickly as the ticket site allowed for - which I'd imagine takes off a lot of the pressure in any of the above scenarios.

Got a mate from the area, moved away now but she still goes back to see her family sometimes. She's heard info from some locals, and I can't share it yet, but let's just say  GM are definitely punching above their weight this year! One of the headliners wouldn't look out of place headlining somewhere like the Other Stage, Primavera or All Points East....

Both in the States. Bjork is the only one I can think that fits the bill that has dates announced

Her dates that start on 1st September are her Cornucopia show, which are designed for arenas with surround sound and integrated visuals/set.

I'm starting to get vague thoughts of last year's Secret Garden Party, where none of the bill was made public in advance and their headliners - Metronomy, London Grammar and Self Esteem if memory serves -were very reasonable for the size and price but because people who claimed to be in the know had maintained it was going to be the Chemical Brothers and Florence & The Machine there was uproar. (They announced this year's headliners in December.) Not that it'll be anything on that scale but especially with some events this year you hear rumours and have ideas about who might be available, and then...

I don't have any info. But Bon Iver are busy and The National are likely too big, plus they're not doing any festivals so far.

The National are actually playing MSG on the 18th, while Bon Iver has US festival dates for the weekends either side of GM (and no, before anyone says it that doesn't obviously mean either are flying over in between/afterwards for one date at a festival they have no attachment to)

My prediction is:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs / Jamie XX / The Smile 

With the following possibilities for Thursday headliner/main stage subs and FO headliners: boygenius, Slowdive, Young Fathers, Walkmen, Little Dragon, Bonobo, Devo, Amyl & The Sniffers, Osees, Fever Ray, Goldfrapp, Caroline Polachek, Shame, Daughter, Self Esteem, Feist and John Cale.

Oh I fully agree; I’d just prefer if they were really pushing the boat out for them to do it for those than for Bjork. 
 

also see Decemberists, Phoebe Bridgers, Flaming Lips etc
