Green Man Festival 2023 announce longlisted acts for the Green Man Rising competition

Hundreds of acts are whittled down into a longlist, where fans have the opportunity to vote for their favourite artists. The chosen five will compete in a virtual final, with the winner chosen by a panel of industry experts who will decide which act will open the Mountain Stage of the festival.

Green Man have announced that "it was a record number of entrants" for this year, and among the longlisted acts are Bristol quartet Oslo Twins, Speedy Wunderground's Joyeria, London-based band Hank, and Wales' very own Mellt.
