Green Man review

TL;DR

  • Wildfire concerns led to the cancellation of the traditional Green Man effigy burning ceremony.
  • Performances included Westside Cowboy, Ata Kak, Shame, Dry Cleaning (with Jeff Tweedy), Karla Chubb of Sprints, Tamikrest, Suntou Susso, Daniel Avery, and Four Tet.
  • Wolf Alice delivered a powerful headline set, contrasting with a subdued acoustic performance that followed.
  • A secret closing DJ set featuring various artists provided a euphoric finale.
  • The festival took place in a Welsh valley experiencing the aftermath of recent wildfires.
