Following on from last year’s special 15th anniversary, Green Man has announced the first details of its 2018 event, which will, once again, take place in the stunning surroundings of the Black Mountains, deep in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.

Having last graced the stage back in 2009, Green Man welcome back Seattle’s Fleet Foxes, a band that has grown into one of the most prestigious in the world; Robin Pecknold’s songwriting finding new and ever-inventive ways to try and figure out this thing we call life. Alongside them, The War On Drugs make their return – their classic rock canon well and truly in tow – fresh from releasing their wonderful fourth album, A Deeper Understanding, last summer,

Alongside that formidable double-header, Green Man welcomes the incomparable John Grant back to the Brecon Beacons for the first time since 2010, an artist who, both with his work with The Czars and subsequent solo releases, has proven himself to be a true and genuine one-of-a-kind; as have Grizzly Bear, whose fifth album, Painted Ruins, was their most thrilling and inventive to-date, beautifully showcasing their development over the past decade and more.

Also appearing in 2018, Jane Weaver brings her warped and wonderful cosmological psych-pop, following the release of her magnificent seventh album, Modern Kosmology; Dirty Projectors will supply brooding art-rock mastery, alongside Public Service Broadcasting who return with their concept album based on the Welsh mining industry; Mount Kimbie promise to enthral with their dense electronica, and Phoebe Bridgers, Courtney Marie Andrews, and Howling Bells’ Juanita Stein will offer something altogether more refined and introspective.

Green Man 2018 runs from Thursday August 16th to 19th. Tickets are on sale now.
