“Forget Cream…or Led Zeppelin, this is the biggie: Pentangle is reforming” – The Guardian
We are very proud to announce that Pentangle will be headlining the Green Man Festival Sunday 17th August. This will be a worldwide Festival exclusive.
On the 40th Anniversary of their seminal double album 'Sweet Child' the unique British folk/jazz 'supergroup' will be performing in their original line up of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jacqui McShee, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox.
Formed in swinging ‘60s London, Pentangle were one of the most exciting and innovative groups in the world, genuinely pushing boundaries and exploring new musical avenues. Simultaneously stars of the underground and darlings of the mainstream, they enjoyed an unprecedented degree of worldwide success.
