PJ Harvey, Ryan Adams and Future Islands headline Green Man 2017!!

Festival Crowd Header

We're bursting with excitement to unveil the first look at #GreenMan17 and can’t wait to get this extra-special shake-down started! Without further a-do...

We are beyond ecstatic to welcome PJ HARVEY to the Mountain Stage. The sheer thought of it is already giving us goosebumps! Having notched up two (!) Mercury Prizes, plus album-after-album of inscrutable beauty, Polly Jean Harvey is an icon of understated, emotive reveries. This is Polly’s only UK show of 2017!!

The esteemed and incredible RYAN ADAMS has built a dreamy back-catalogue that few can match. Mastering moody, devilish journeys through alt-country music and Americana and beyond, we couldn't be more excited to finally welcome him to the Black Mountains for our Fifteenth Birthday party.

Last, but by no means least.. the phantasmagorical FUTURE ISLANDS bring their silky, sexy synth dappled grooves from the States to Wales for the first time ever. We’re psyched to welcome the Baltimore-based trio to kick-start the Friday night party with songs from their upcoming album.

So that’s three headliners! And you won't see any of them at ANY other UK festival this year.
