Next week’s event will also announce the winner of the Green Man Rising competition – with the winner bagging a slot at the next Green Man and a £750 development fund.
It is yet to be confirmed whether 2020’s headliners – Mac DeMarco and Michael Kiwanuka – will return for next year’s event.
Confirming the event’s cancellation earlier this year, organisers said: “Our number one priority will always be your safety, as well as the artists, crew and traders who are a much loved part of our Green Man family. We know the coming months will be hugely testing for all of us, but together we believe we can emerge from this time stronger and more connected than ever before.”
