Green Man have announced its first instalment of acts for their 2025 edition. Across the four-day festival, taking place between August 14 and 17, Kneecap, Wet Leg, Underworld and TV On The Radio will grace the stage to perform headline sets for Green Man’s 25,000 attendees.
Hailing in Brecon Beacon, Wales and first established in 2003, Green Man showcase the most exciting acts across a plethora of genres, including: folk, indie, world music, electronic and psychedelia.
This year’s first headliners will see Kneecap bring their unapologetically socially-conscious, political lyricism and bodacious melodies to Wales. Riding the wave of success following their recent BAFTA win for their self-titled biopic, the ‘Get Your Brits Out’ performers will no doubt bring a high energy performance during the festival.
Despite teasing their retirement during Reading Festival in 2023, Wet Leg will be joining Kneecap as Green Man’s Friday night headliners. The group known for their tenderly unique vocals, featuring pop culture references, against the backdrop of classic indie and post-punk instrumentation, will take the stage to perform fan favourites from their self-titled number one album, which has thus far been their only release. Featuring hits ‘Chaise Longue’, ‘Wet Dream’, ‘Ur Mum’ and ‘Angelica’, fans are certainly in for a treat.
As Underworld and TV On The Radio complete this year’s headliners, Green Man have revealed even more exciting acts. 2024 Mercury Prize winners English Teacher will be joining the roster of talent during the festival. The news of their appearance at Green Man follows their newly announced UK Tour, which will see the ‘This Could Be Texas’ band take their talent to London, Manchester and more this year. Alongside English Teacher, fans can expect exciting performances from indie-rock band Wunderhorse, American Singer-Songwriter Perfume Genius and alt-country Irish songstress CMAT.
Extending the bill of contemporary music icons, Green Man have also invited Yard Act, Greentea Peng, Nilüfer Yanya, Kelly Lee Owens and more.
The festival set to return to Bannau Brycheiniog National Park will gift attendees with a star-studded weekend of music and entertainment.
Tickets for Green Man 2025 are now sold out, selling out in two hours (without a single act being announced). Tomorrow (Friday 28 February) will see the festival celebrate this year’s edition with a launch party at The Lexington in London. The event will feature appearances from Gwenno and Broadside Hacks, a folk collective set to pay tribute to folk legend Bob Dylan. Both of which will before during August’s event.
