Green Man Festival 2022 announces its 20th anniversary line-up

Wales’ largest music festival Green Man has announced the first wave of acts to play its already sold-out 20th anniversary event.

Among the headliners appearing at the popular bash in the Brecon Beacons are German electronic music legends Kraftwerk, acclaimed UK singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, Baltimore pop duo Beach House and eclectic dance-rockers Metronomy.

The event will also showcase its usual mix of homegrown and international talent, from Carmarthenshire's Cate le Bon and the psychedelic country of Cardiff's Melin Melyn to US favourites such as Parquet Courts, Low, Ty Segall and Ezra Furman.
