NATURAL HIGH
The Independent
|August 19, 2025
Irish singer CMAT's chatty pop is the highlight of a glorious weekend at the bucolic Green Man, writes Stephen Carlick
You can't write about Green Man without mentioning its gorgeous locale - Wales's verdant Brecon Beacons, where the towering hills and long, winding roads are dotted by sheep utterly undaunted by the cars making their way to the festival.
The natural beauty isn't the main draw, but then, it can't just be the expertly curated music, comedy shows, or panels, either – how, otherwise, to explain Green Man 2025 selling out in just 60 minutes, long before its lineup was announced? The answer is that its appeal transcends billing, lying at that nebulous, indefinable intersection where people, music and nature coalesce to create, well – it's just a vibe, isn't it?
