Wales’ largest music festival, Green Man, today announce new line up additions to their 20th anniversary event, returning once again to the epic surroundings of the Black Mountains deep in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.

As one of Wales’ own, Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 are on course for a majestic performance with accompaniment from the National Orchestra of Wales, and following the release of their album ‘Yn Rio’ in autumn 2021.

Other home-grown artists set to grace the Green Man stage this summer include south Wales collective El Goodo and UK indie circuit favourite John Mouse, alongside radio mainstay Huw Stephens, who returns to Green Man with a stack of must-hear records in tow. Wrexham’s Art School Girlfriend, Machynlleth musician and composer Cerys Hafana, and Aberystwyth born harpist Rhodri Davies are also confirmed.

The second wave of names announced for Green Man 2022 also include acclaimed art-pop duo Tune-Yards, Berlin based, Peruvian producer and DJ Sofia Kourtesis, harpist and composer Mary Lattimore, jungle and drum & bass breakout talent Nia Archives.

Also added today is Australian artist Donny Benét and Charlotte Adigéry, who 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 line up alongside The Long Blondes, Charles Watson, Ural Thomas & The Pain, 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 a relaxation and workshop space for the teenagers. Further line ups of music, science, film, comedy & literature will be revealed in the coming months.
