GREEN MAN announces 2026 lineup launch event in London with SHAME, CASUAL SMART & JESSICA WINTER

Green Man Festival is kicking off its 2026 celebrations in style with a special line-up launch party at The Lexington on 5 March (7pm), bringing a taste of summer to London with live sets from Shame, Casual Smart and Jessica Winter.

The one-off showcase celebrates another instant sell-out for Green Man 2026, with fans packing in on release day once again — proof that the love for Wales’ largest independent festival shows no sign of slowing. Ticket holders at The Lexington will also be in with a chance to win two tickets to the already sold-out Green Man 2026 via an exclusive raffle.

Returning to the Black Mountains in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park from 20–23 August 2026, Green Man’s 25,000-capacity gathering follows a hugely acclaimed 2025 edition that earned five-star reviews across the board. While world-class music remains at its core, the festival’s 16 stages also host comedy, science, literature, cinema, wellness and family programming — from the Little Folk area for under-11s to Somewhere, a creative playground for teens.

Known for championing emerging talent and fiercely protecting its independence, Green Man has helped launch artists like Fontaines D.C., Michael Kiwanuka, Wet Leg and Kae Tempest — and remains one of the UK’s last major festivals to operate without sponsorship.

There won’t be another ticket drop for Green Man 2026, but official resale passes are available via Tixel. Tickets for the Lexington launch event are on sale now, with the full 2026 festival line-up coming soon — consider this your early invitation to one of the UK’s most beloved summer rituals.
