St David's day brings extra special treats this year with Green Man making their much anticipated 2024 Line Up announcement. Wales' most idyllic festival returns this August to the breathtaking surroundings of the Black Mountains, nestled within the Brecon Beacons for its annual celebration of music, science and arts. A true testament to its incredible and diverse nature, tickets sold out in just 2 hours back in September when they went on sale. And now lucky fans will be able to get their teeth sunk in to the first line up announcement for this year's addition with American indie folk band Big Thief, South London's Sampha, electronic pioneer Jon Hopkins and post-punk heroes Sleaford Mods taking up the headline spots. 

Joined by the likes of Explosions In The Sky, Arlo Parks and Julia Holter to name but a few, not to mention a whole collective of Welsh language band's including Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog and Pys Melyn the festival is already looking to be extra special.
