Max SteventonFor the fifth consecutive year, the 25,000-capacity Green Man Festival has sold out prior to the announcement of its line-up.
One of the very few remaining large-scale independent festivals, tickets for Green Man’s 2027 edition went on sale on 25 September. It quickly became the first large-scale music festival of 2027 to sell out.
Located in the valleys of the Black Mountains in Wales, the Green Man Festival contributes £28 million for the Welsh economy, and has long resisted sponsorship. Next year’s edition will take place from 19-22 August.
Owned by Access All Areas Award-winning promoter Fiona Stewart, the festival programmes music alongside comedy, literature, film, visual arts, science and wellness across 16 stages and areas.
This year, Green Man Festival became the first UK outdoor camping festival to receive the Platinum Charter from accessibility charity Attitude is Everything, which recognises venues and events for their work to improve access for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent audiences.
The festival’s charitable arm, Green Man Trust, provides training, artist development and community funding across Wales. The trust said it has supported more than 13,700 people, provided 2,102 training placements and development opportunities for 6,309 artists, while raising £2.9m since it was established in 2014. In a furtyhe effort to support the local economy, Green Man works with independent Welsh food and beverage producers, with its Courtyard area hosting a Welsh beer and cider festival featuring products from breweries across Wales.
Stewart said, “Diolch, diolch, thank you, thank you to all of you wonderful people who bought Green Man tickets for our 25th anniversary year. Planning has started and we can’t wait to unveil it all when you join us in the Black Mountains next August.”
