Other notable acts performing at Green Man this year include prolific cult-heroes Osees, art-rock collective Black Country, New Road, alternative rock group Bar Italia, Scottish shoegaze heavyweights The Jesus and Mary Chain and singer-songwriter Arlo Parks. Also coming to the Brecon Beacons in August are New York alternative rock outfit Blonde Redhead, experimental rock favourites Fat White Family, Kate Stables’ Indie rock band This Is the Kit, jazz quintet Ezra Collective and exciting folk-punk newcomers The New Eves.

Set to return to Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, Wales, the festival is scheduled to run from 15-18 August 2024, and will, for these four days, be home to not only a fantastic variety of live music but also an array of other entertainment, including literature, film, science, theatre and comedy. The grounds are divided into ten areas to accommodate this, ensuring that festival-goers will never experience a dull moment.

Sleaford Mods, the highly influential post-punk/punk-rap duo comprised of vocalist Jason Williamson and DJ Andrew Fearn, will return to Green Man festival for the first time since 2017, and arrive now as a headline act following their incredible success in recent years.

Also headlining this year’s event, and also returning to Green Man as a headliner following a performance in a past year, is New York-based indie folk group Big Thief. Since playing the festival in 2019, Big Thief have added two critically acclaimed albums to their total of five, combining profound, masterful lyrics with incisive and blissful folk instrumentation in the process.

Listen to “Spud Infinity” by Big Thief below:

The third headliner is English musician and producer Jon Hopkins, who’s combining of electronic music with contemporary classical music, resulting in transcendent musical beauty, will sure to have a spellbinding effect come August. The last, but certainly not least, headliner comes in the form of  neo soul and alternative R&B star Sampha, who will bring his unique musical prowess to the Brecon Beacons for all to witness.

Tickets are, unfortunately, now sold out, but you can sign up for resale tickets here.

Osees are set up for a busy year in regard to their touring schedule, and will be embarking on a run of US dates in March before their UK/EU run, and will also be embarking on another four week North American tour which will commence on September 5^th in San Francisco, and will conclude in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 3^rd. During this tour, the group will be performing all across the US, with dates in Washington, Minnesota, Texas and New York. There will also be a stop in Toronto, Canada. For North American fans, ticket information can be found here.

Osees, who are known for their noisy and psychedelic style of rock music, released their last album Weirdo Hairdo in 2020, a year that saw them changing their name from Oh Sees to Osees. Not only did the group once again change their name in 2020, but they released a whopping four studio albums; Protean Threat, Metamorphosed, Panther Rotate and Weirdo Hairdo, which has taken them up to a grand total of twenty-six studio albums since their formation under the “OCS” moniker.

From the group’s staggering output, there is no doubt that Osees are a prolific outfit, but more than this, they certainly do not sacrifice quality solely to keep adding to their catalogue. Each album the band has released this year has accrued plenty of warm reception from both fans and critics alike. In a glowing review of Protean Threat, Louder Than War said: “It sounds nothing like they have ever done, yet, at the same time, like something that only they could do. It’s those oxymoronical twists and turns that make Osees a delight to hear from every time as they power through their blend of scuzzy garage psych-punk and throw everything possible at you, just to keep you on your toes.”

The band’s discography can be found on all streaming services, and physical copies of their material can be found here.
