Festival Strip 2014 - Green Man Festival, Brecon Beacons, Wales

Green Man Festival 2014, Wales, 14-17th August 14

With this year's festival season swiftly approaching I've chosen a few I think people should really hear about and Green Man Festival is definitely one of them.
Set in the idyllic hills of Brecon Beacons, Wales it adds a fantastic atmosphere to the festival, basking in the sunshine in the lush green grass and listening to a variety of amazingly talented musicians it makes for a great couple of days.

They have out done themselves this year producing such a brilliant line up with the likes of Mac DeMarco, Canada's response to Ben Howard, who recently released his third album 'Salad Days'. Filled with hypnotic melody and stinky bass lines it just oozes summer, DeMarco is practically perfect for Green Man fest and with a positive response from regular green man goers, this year is going to be memorable.

TOY, indie rockers from Brighton are making another appearance at Green Man with their sophmore album 'Join the Dots', their psychedelic sounds fit the festival well, otherwise deemed 'hippy fest', I have a feeling another set will be appreciated.

Neutral Milk Hotel, Beirut, The War On Drugs, Boy & Bear, Daughter and many others will be making an appearance at the festival this year, and with tickets at a reasonable £159 it is perfect for small time festival goers. Filled with stalls and activities for the children it's a very welcoming environment for adults and families alike, and certainly not to be missed. It's definitely on my list!
