Other confirmed artists are The Low Anthem who are riding high on a wave of critical acclaim for new LP Smart Flesh as they mark their first-ever Green Man with a main stage support slot. 

Also appearing are Holy F*ck with an amazing live show they shun laptops and programmed backing beats in favour of live drums, 35mm film and toy keyboards to create their awe-inspiring electronica.

Rising folk star, Hannah Peel, a classically trained pianist with an ear for an infectious beat and a voice as pure as a mountain stream will be bringing her beautiful sound to Green Man. 

More acts announced are Lia Ices, The Leisure Society, Admiral Fallow, Duotone, Driver Drive Faster, Ute, Oh Ruin, The Doozer and Treecreeper. View the line up so far here.
