Getting more excited about the line up now that some possible names are starting to appear.
TV on The Radio and Beth Gibbons seem very likely now. Maybe both will headline?
I’m also expecting Kneecap, Nilufer Yanya, MJ Lenderman, Nala Sinephro, Fat Dog, Ana Frango Electrico, Mannequin Pussy, Snow Strippers and Tristwych y Fenywod.
Maribou State are also around and might be a contender for an electronic headliner, having played GM a while back and seemingly (inexplicably) to have got very big recently.
As a potential “wow” booking, Autechre are playing Flow Festival the weekend before Green Man. However, I think their Manchester show this year was meant to be an UK exclusive for this year so maybe unlikely - not that GM would probably book them anyway…
I’m worried King Krule might be one of the headliners. He came on stage last year with Mount Kimbie obviously, and the GM team booked him for Park Stage last year and recently started following his new management team on Instagram…
If they can find any other good band for the NOS stage, they will probably shift them to that stage, like what they did this year with Benjamin Clementine on the first day, tt was announced first for the Heineken stage but ended up on the NOS stage one week before the start of the festival.
