CATE LE BON AND LAWRENCE ARABIA CO-HEADLINE GREEN MAN TOUR IN MARCH + FREE DOWNLOAD
PLUS, STAND BY FOR THE LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT ON OUR EXCITING LINE-UP FOR GREEN MAN 2010!


Yup, you heard it here first – Green Man has signed up the really rather marvellous Cate Le Bon and Lawrence Arabia to put a little Spring in your step this March and spread a little psych/folk/pop sunshine in a part of the UK very near YOU.
It’s still only January but that mischievous, music-loving Green Man has got itchy feet already, folks.
He’s been busy during the cold winter snap, working on his top secret plans to make this year’s festival the very best there’s ever been (more of which on Monday…)
In the meantime - and unable to contain his excitement for another seven months – he’s hitting the road for a Green Man Tour!
Welsh wonder Cate Le Bon is no stranger to Green Man fans, having bewitched the last two festivals with her beguiling voice and brilliant songs. Having spent 2008 collaborating with SFA’s Gruff Rhys as singer and bass player with the Mercur-nominated Neon Neon, 2009 saw Cate bag a hatful of rave reviews for her extraordinary English language debut Me Oh My – a thing of unadulterated beauty, no less.
Continuing his mission to bring you the very best new music around today, Green Man introduces New Zealand’s self-styled “man of legs” Lawrence Arabia– if you’ve not hard of him yet then be warned, you will do soon. The man has a wicked way with a tune and is positively overflowing with off-kilter melodic genius. Think Fleetwood Mac meets The Beach Boys with a dash of Bowie and White Album-era Beatles and you’re on the right lines.
But don’t take our word for it – listen for yourselves with FREE DOWNLOADS HERE:
See what we mean?
Now go grab yourselves a ticket for one of the following dates and brace yourself for an EXTREMELY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT on Monday (February 1) when we will reveal the latest additions to what is shaping up to be the best line-up we’ve ever put together for Green Man 2010!
Discerning music fans will doubtless enjoy the contrast between Cate’s bewitching psych-folk and Mr Arabia’s classic sunshine pop… It’ll be a hot ticket for sure…
