Green Man Festival is now firmly established as one of the top events in Britain’s festival season. You can make a very good case, in fact, for the Bannau Brycheiniog event being Britain’s single best fest, with top-tier production, a flawlessly well-curated lineup and an exceptionally welcoming, good-vibes festival community.
Sound like your sort of fest? Of course it does. There’s a reason Green Man sells out so quickly – last year the event sold all its tickets in less than an hour. And the general sale date for Green Man 2026 is coming up fast: it’s taking place this weekend, in fact.
If you’re in the market for a Green Man ticket, here’s how to get on when tickets are released.

What is Green Man festival like?
We attended Green Man 2025, and quickly understood the all the hype. The lineup is trim and meticulously curated – whatever you see, you know you’ll like it – and the sound and lighting is exceptionally well-produced. The vibe is excellent, with loads of families, and the food and drink are notably a step-up from most festivals.
