Wales’ largest music festival, Green Man has announced new additions to its lineup for its 20th-anniversary event, returning once again to the epic surroundings of the Black Mountains deep in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. The second wave of names announced for Green Man 2022 includes acclaimed art-pop duo Tune-Yards, Berlin-based Peruvian producer and DJ Sofia Kourtesis, harpist and composer Mary Lattimore, and jungle, drum, and bass breakout talent Nia Archives.
Also added today are Australian artists Donny Benét, Carwyn Ellis, and Rio 18 who will be accompanied by the National Orchestra of Wales. Charlotte Adigéry will be joined by Bolis Pupul to perform tracks from their new album Topical Dancer.
Brighton band Penelope Isles and Norfolk electronic artist Nathan Fake join the lineup alongside The Long Blondes, Charles Watson, Art School Girlfriend, Cerys Hafana, Ural Thomas & The Pain, John Mouse, El Goodo, Mandrake Handshake, Joe & The Shitboys, Honeyglaze, Eli Smart, Bonnie Kemplay, and Social Gathering.
These new names join Mercury Prize-winning Michael Kiwanuka, iconic electro-pioneers Kraftwerk, acclaimed Baltimore duo Beach House and eclectic party starters Metronomy who will each headline this year’s festival.
Tickets for Green Man 2022 sold out in two days following a triumphant weekend in the Welsh Mountains in August 2021 that was able to take place against all odds.
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 mini-beast themed area of discovery and exploration for the little folk and relaxation and workshop space for the teenagers. Further line ups of music, science, film, comedy & literature will be revealed in the coming months.
