Green Man Festival: Top Sets To Check Out

The magic of Green Man lies not just in its scenery and music. Made up of 10 individual areas, the festival also offers a diverse range of events to accompany its incredible line-up, boasting art installations spread throughout the tranquil valley, a beer and cider tent to enjoy a crisp Welsh pint, a Shapes-themed area of discovery and exploration for the little folk, a relaxation and workshop space for the teenagers, plus science engagement area Einstein’s Garden.

With the festival fast approaching, we break down our top five sets to check out over the fun filled weekend.

LAMBRINI GIRLS
If there was a band to see at the moment who knew what to say and how to say it. It is definitely Lambrini Girls. With a reputation for putting on unmissable chaotic and raucous live shows – they are certainly one of our top picks for the festival.

SAMPHA
One of the UK’s best creative thinkers at the moment. Having paired up with Little Simz for recent new single ‘Satellite Business 2.0’ and a Mercury Prize under his belt – making Green Man Festival one of his only UK festival appearances. This is a moment not to miss.

EZRA COLLECTIVE
Green Man is never short of Mercury Prize winning artists – adding Ezra Collective to our list. With a huge UK tour booked for later this year – this performance is sure to bring us tasters from the follow up to their 2023 award winning album ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’.

ARLO PARKS
Arlo Parks kind of feels like a national diamond for us now. Having gone from warming people’s hearts on smaller stages to winning huge awards at The Brits. For a continuous smile across your face – Arlo Parks is where you should place your Green Man Festival hearts.

LEMONCELLO
Playing on the Rising Stage – Lemoncello are our new faces to check out at Green Man Festival. Pivoting from songs of tongue-in-cheek, off-kilter confrontation to unflinching openness and vulnerability,

Green Man Festival will take place on the 15th to 18th August.
