THE first tickets for next year’s Green Man festival have gone on sale – but no acts have yet been announced.
2020 will be the 18th edition of the festival and it will take place at Glanusk, near Crickhowell, from August 20 to 23.
A limited number of Early Bird Tickets for the weekend, as well as Settler’s Passes, are on sale now at www.greenman.net.
Tickets sold out in record time for this August’s festival, with organisers saying demand shows that Green Man continues to be one of the UK’s favourite festivals as it bucks wider trends year on year.
Prices vary from £180 for adult early bird tickets to £115 for teenagers, under 18, with different prices for students as well as five to 12-year-olds with no charge for infants (four and under).
The Settler’s Pass turns the festival into a week-long holiday, allowing early access to the site from Monday, August 17 and includes workshops, music, discounts on local heritage sites, galleries, castles and more is available from £230 with discounts for younger people and students.
This year 20,000 people attended the festival with headline sets from Father John Misty, Four Tet and Yo La Tengo, alongside a stellar line up of music, theatre, comedy, science and arts.
Away from the music stages, the festival’s pioneering science and education area, Einstein’s Garden, once again showcased discussions, stalls and experiments for kids and adults alike, and Green Man welcomed a unique programme of Visual Art including spellbinding installations from Hazel Brill, Sean Harris and Jennifer Taylor. This year’s jam-packed Cinedrome schedule included the acclaimed Wild Rose, starring Jessie Buckley, as well as showings of old classics including Thelma and Louise.
The Little Folk children’s area continues to pioneer family-centric fun at UK festivals with a broad programme of entertainment and interactive exhibitions; this year’s theme was Outer Space. Our Welsh Beer & Cider festival in The Courtyard kept festival-goers lubricated with the finest local beverages, with more than 150,000 pints being sunk across the weekend.
The first acts are due to be announced in early 2020.
