Access All AreasOrganisers of the 25,000-capacity Green Man Festival said the 2025 edition of the event has become the first festival in the UK to completely sell out, with fans snapping up all the tickets in just an hour.
Against a backdrop of relentless reports of festival closures, with more than 60 called off this year alone, Fiona Stewart’s Greem Man Festival has sold out 11 months prior to the event and with the line-up yet to be announced.
One of the UK’s few completely independent major festivals, Green Man is set to return to the Black Mountains in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Wales from the 14-17 August 2025.
Since its launch in 2003, Green Man has grown to become one of the UK’s most popular festivals. Tickets went on sale for next year’s edition at 10am on 28 September and were sold out by 11am.
With the event entering its third decade, the Green Man experience has evolved to include music, comedy, literature, film, performance and installation art, wellness, science, as well as specific arenas for both children and teens.
The event is one of just three remaining large independent festivals in the UK. It generates £10 million into the Welsh economy, and is the only large UK festival where a woman has controlling ownership. It was awarded a Gold Charter by Attitude is Everything, a charity that improves accessibility for people with disabilities across the events industry.
