Green Man 2024

[CANTON93]

This would be an incredible line up but I don't believe it. I would massively lower expectations. Remember someone put The Smile as the final headliner last year and it turned out to be Self Esteem

Nearly got me with this! However add Bdrmm to this and I would be over the moon.

In fairness I think it was obvious that Self-Esteem was a replacement for another act that let them down. 

[Justiceforcedave]

Saw Daniel Norgren just announced a tour starting after Green Man! Hoping he gets added.

Yeah think this was basically confirmed after the festival.

The smart money was on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, whose European dates were very compressed and there was a separate rumour they'd agreed to and then pulled out of something like Lowlands, which is the same weekend as GM. The Smile toured the US in June which is partly where that speculation came from but it's likely they were working on their album around GM time.

Haha yeh just wanted to spark some debate in the final few weeks until the line up!  I tried to mostly fill it with realistic acts that are around over the right sort of time, although I agree it’s probably way too strong. 

I think Pixies are pretty unlikely but can’t really think of another good option.  Wouldn’t be too surprised if they had one electronic type headliner like Hot Chip/Caribou/Four Tet but other than Justice I’m not sure who is likely from those that are touring in August.  I think Field Day rules Justice out in any event.  Guess it could just be someone that isn’t necessarily doing other EU festival dates…wouldn’t be too surprised with Underworld for example.  Little Dragon could also fulfil their 2020 booking as well, although they were Thursday I think.

Either The Smile or Pixies would be perfect, I am curious to see if they'll stick with the slight 'legends' headline slot after Kraftwork and Devo in the last two line ups, seems like a theme developing there

After the success of Caribou and Bicep being stupid busy at the far out, an electronic headliner would be brilliant also.

Blimey…

The Smile ruled out?

Hate to see it, must just be at Glasto then, very busy August schedule for them

Is St. Vincent a possibility? New album has been announced

Very much doubt it. Album won't be out until the summer at least and, remembering the scale and ambition of her recent tours, she wouldn't tour it in the US until the autumn.

[lessthanwill1]

Alvvays out as touring US.

My prediction hasn’t lasted long!

It hasn’t. 

[WFD]

The aforementioned Aurora, plus Underworld and Belle & Sebastian, ruled out by being announced for Summer Sonic in Japan the same weekend.

[cNp]

Hurray for the Riff Raff have played before and have a new album out... touring UK in mid May then on to mainland Europe... could be sticking around for festival season... would love to see them back.

Think they opened the Mountain Stage in 2017; first year for me.

I can't believe it's been 9 years since her headline slot in 2015!

News of Bat for Lashes album and tour - not sure if she's big enough to headline..

Manic Street Preachers playing in Staffordshire GM weekend

Not that I think they're a band GM would approach anyway but, as with New Order and The National (and also Idles, not that that's an option with them headlining EOTR), I don't think there's any chance of a band playing two outdoor gigs in south Wales in one summer.

That makes sense!

Definitely a possibility, Natasha Khan played a mid evening slot as Sex Witch in 2015 in the Far Out. I could see them as a Far Out Headliner and Mountain 21:00 slot.

Yes please, ideally underneath a headliner

[Fish Bulb]

MGMT just released a new album this week - could be in the frame for a prominent Green Man slot? Possibly electro-y headliner?
