The line up for this year’s Green Man festival has expanded, with Stephen Malkmus, tUne-yArDs and more due to perform.
Continuing to expand and diversify, Green Man remains a frustrating beast to predict. Still at heart a fuzzy folk festival, the Welsh event combines a love for acoustic strumming with an increasingly adventurous taste.
Turning ten this summer, Green Man have once again expanded the bill. Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks will drop by, still fresh from the success of their Beck produced fifth album ‘Mirror Traffic’.
Due to perform at Green Man, Stephen Malkmus joins a diverse line up. Inventive West Coast musician Merrill Garbus will drop by, marking a return to the UK for her groundbreaking tUne-yArDs incarnation.
A stunning live performer, Merill Garbus will be joined by bassist Nate Brenner to construct a loop-laden, ukelele powered festival show.
Elsewhere, of Montreal are due to perform while BBC Sound of 2012 poll winner Michael Kiwanuka is also set to appear.
King Creosote – a long time friend of Green Man – is set to drop by, taking Jon Hopkins along for the ride. The pair will perform their majestic collaborative set ‘Diamond Mine’ alongside a few surprises.
Other names added to the line up include Field Music, Friends, TOY, Trembling Bells, Gang Colours, The Pictish Trail, Cold Specks and more.
