— THE LINE OF BEST FIT (@bestfitmusic) May 9, 2016
The festival is set to go on in late August, from 18th – 21st.
Green Man Festival is famous for it’s environmental (as the name suggests) and anti-corporate mentality; this has gained it somewhat of a cult following, as well as a few awards! For example, Green Man Festival won ‘Best Medium Sized Festival’ in 2010, ‘Grass Roots Festival 2012′ as well as being titled as one of the top 50 coolest British brands in 2012/13.
The festival has been around for 13 years, with their inaugurating festival being in 2003. Despite ultimately being a small festival, (comparatively at least!) Green Man Festival has still managed to host some big names, such as Van Morrison, The National, Bon Iver and Robert Plant.
The announcement of Laura Marling as a headliner shows their continued growth as well. Marling first burst onto the scene in 2008 with debut album ‘Alas, I Cannot Swim'; since then the singer-songwriter has had four (including ‘Alas, I Cannot Swim’) albums nominated for the Mercury Prize! There’s critically acclaimed, and then there’s Laura Marling.
