You would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful site. Set in the valley of the Bannau Brycheiniog, complete with a river and luscious trees, Green Man festival is now in its 24th year. Known for its alternative music, the festival is actually much more than that. Despite its smallish size – just a 25,000 per day capacity – the lineup features not just a truly diverse set of musicians but also literary talks, political debates, a cinema, a wellness area, a science garden, and food and drink from all around the world.
This year – the festival's 24th – saw a mix of headliners lending each day a different theme. Shoegaze legends Mogwai delivered a mesmerising, trippy set on the Thursday night. Friday saw Chicago band Wilco play on the main Mountain stage. On Saturday, UK favourite Four Tet gave an electronic masterpiece of a set, sweeping seamlessly from lower beat melodies to higher tempo bangers like his recent remix of PinkPantheress's tune 'Illegal'. Finally, indie band Wolf Alice brought the house down on the last night with an epic performance, proof of their impressive ascent over the years to a place among the UK's major bands.
