About Green Man 2026
Green Man is the UK festival people get evangelical about: four August days in a natural amphitheatre under Wales's Black Mountains, capped at a size where you can actually move, with a burning of the Green Man effigy to close and not a single sponsor banner in sight. The 2026 bill is peak Green Man. Four Tet, Wolf Alice, Wilco, and Mogwai up top, The Beta Band reunited, Sparks being Sparks, and below them the festival's specialty: psych, folk, Welsh-language pop, dub, and left-field discoveries stacked deeper than bills twice its size. Mountain weather included, no extra charge.
Expect electronic, indie rock, post-punk and folk across 96 acts.
