Green Man Festival 2027
The Green Man Festival festival.
In a nutshell.
Green Man is an independent music, science and arts festival held every mid-August in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (the Brecon Beacons), near the small town of Crickhowell in Wales. The 2027 edition is set for 19 to 22 August (from the 16th for Settlement tickets); all tickets are already sold out and the line-up is not yet announced. According to Wikipedia, the festival welcomes about 25,000 people.
The site combines several stages and areas (Mountain's Foot, Far Out, Walled Garden, Einstein's Garden, Little Folk…): indie, folk, rock and electronic music, but also comedy, literature, film, science and workshops. The 2027 programme has not yet been announced.
Weekend and Settlement tickets are sold out (sale opened on 26 September 2026): the only way in left is official resale through Tixel, with a waiting list and alerts. Day tickets exist, but only for residents of NP8 postcodes.
