The line-up for the Green Man Festival 2019 has been announced, and it features an electric mix of artists that includes Four Tet, Father John Misty, and Sharon Van Etten. The celebrated festival will be returning to the Glanusk estate, in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, for its 17th year – taking place between the 15th and 18th of August 2029.
This years Green Man festival will see Four Tet – whose real name is Kieran Hebden – play Green Man’s most prestigious slot: Saturday night on the picturesque Mountain stage.

Speaking about his slot, Four Tet said: “It’s great to be doing the Saturday night Mountain Stage slot at Green Man 2019! I first played Green Man in 2004 and have always had good times there.”
Droll singer/song-writer Father John Misty is back after his performance on the Green Man stage in 2015. Father John Misty isn’t a newcomer to the festival scene and this years performance at Green Man follows on from other major appearances at UK festivals, which include End of the Road and All Points East.
After it was criticised for its all-male set of headliners, in 2018, the festival is giving a prominent slot to anthemic US singer/song-writer Sharon Van Etten, This follows on from the release of her acclaimed album, ‘Remind Me Tomorrow’. Following their breakthrough, in 2018, Brit-nominees IDLES will be making their Green Man debut, following the release of their critically acclaimed second album, ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’, last year.
Among the other names announced are enduring Malian duo Amadou & Mariam, Canadian indie rockers Broken Social Scene, and the Anglo-French lounge-pop group, Stereolab, who recently reformed – this is their first announced UK date. Joining them will be folk legend Richard Thompson, jazz groups Sons of Kemet, Ezra Collective and the Comet is Coming, and US indie favourites Car Seat Headrest and Whitney.
