Green Man Festival, Wales’ largest independent music, science and arts festival, has sold out in record time with all tickets for its 2025 edition sold in just 60 minutes. Without announcing its line-up and 11 months prior to the festival, Green Man is the first festival in the UK to completely sell out.
Entering its 23rd year, tickets went on sale for the festival at 10am on Saturday (28th September) and sold out by 11am. The 25,000 capacity a day festival is set to return to the Black Mountains in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Wales from the 14th to the 17th August 2025.
Fiona Stewart, Owner & Managing Director of Green Man, said…..
“A huge diolch – how wonderful you are! Thank you, your support means the world to us. We are so excited about the plans for Green Man 2025, and we can’t wait to see your faces when you join us in the magical Black Mountains of Bannau Brycheiniog next August.”
Alongside the ten music stages, guests are invited to explore the wonders of the world around us in Einstein’s Garden, relax and rejuvenate in Nature Nurture and grab a pint in Green Man’s very own Welsh beer and cider festival at the Courtyard. With a dedicated children’s area, comedy and literature talks as well as performing arts, the 2025 edition will bring all of these back to the Bannau Brycheiniog.
Green Man 2024 was a showcase of why the festival has been widely considered one of the best in the UK for over two decades, this year receiving critical acclaim and five-star reviews from the Guardian, Evening Standard, Independent, Rolling Stone UK and more. Across the weekend, delighted festival goers witnessed headliner performances from Jon Hopkins, Big Thief, Sampha and Sleaford Mods, as well as standout sets from Ezra Collective, Joy Orbison, Nadine Shah, Moonchild Sanelly, Explosions in the Sky, Blonde Redhead, Arlo Parks, Ibibio Sound Machine, and more, as well as an array of Welsh talent including Pys Melyn, Islet and The Tubs.
Alongside the brilliant music, there were stimulating talks across the Babbling Tongues area from the likes of Huw Stephens, Darcus Beese and Green Man’s own Fiona Stewart; comedy from the legendary Stewart Lee, Esther Manito, Michael Akadiri and more; and the Cinedrome hosted a very special screening of the acclaimed new film from Kneecap, and Oscar award-winning actor and musician Samantha Morton was in conversation before a screening of her acclaimed film Morvern Callar.
There was innovative, audience-friendly science taking place in Einstein’s Garden, fun for the younger members of the Green Man family at the Shapes-themed Little Folk area, Green Man’s third annual Pride march. This year Green Man also welcomed a special visit from Little Amal, who has travelled around Europe to the United Nations before heading to Wales for the first time ever. Brought to life by The Walk, Little Amal has raised over £800,000 for refugees.
