Green Man call off 2020 event due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic

The festival, which was due to take place in the Brecon Beacons from 20-23 August, has been cancelled this summer due to the uncertainty of public events going ahead amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement, organisers write, "These are the words we hoped we would never have to write, but it’s with deep sadness that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we’re announcing that Green Man won’t be taking place this year, re-emerging instead 19th - 22nd August 2021. To say we’re sad about this is an understatement - but after many tense weeks analysing the situation, we have had to make this very hard decision."

Regarding refunds, they add, "All tickets for 2020 will automatically be transferred to 2021. It would be enormously appreciated if you held onto your tickets for next year, as these are extraordinarily challenging times for an independent festival like Green Man. However, if you would like a refund, this will be available from Ticketline."

These are words we hoped we would never have to write, but it’s with deep sadness that we’re announcing that Green Man won’t be taking place this year. Please see full statement below.

Stay healthy and stay kind.
