Shoegaze legends Ride join festival bill
Green Man Festival, Brecon
Shoegazing legends Ride are the latest headliners to be added to this year’s Green Man bill.
The alt-rockers, fresh from the release of Weater Diaries, their first album for 21 years, will perform on the Far Out stage on the Thursday night of the festival, which takes place in the Brecon Beacons on August 17-20.
The band joins a bill which features headliners PJ Harvey, Ryan Adams, and Future Islands.
Ride are the latest in a batch of new names revealed on the bill, which includes psychedelic garage rockers Allah-Las, the lo-fi indie pop of Spanish quartet Hinds, and the late-night electro beats of Daniel Avery.
DD Dumbo, Charlotte Day Wilso and The Mattson 2 have also been added to the programme, as have Adam Torres, Chelou, Cobalt Chapel, Toby Hay, Stevie Parker, Tom Hickox, Jae Tyler, Brooke Bentham, Madonnatron, and Bess Atwell.
The Far Out area, meanwhile, is to host Mercury-nominated cosmic jazz trio The Comet is Coming; poet, novelist, musician and lecturer Anthony Joseph, described as the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain; the return of genre-defying noisemakers Broken Brass Ensemble; and West African vibes from Ghana via Sheffield nine-piece KOG and The Zongo Brigade.
