GREEN MAN 2009 TICKETS ONSALE NOW

Jarvis Cocker, Animal Collective & Wilco to headline more than 100 unmissable acts

The Green Man has worked his magic again - conjuring up a spellbinding bill that is sure to make this year's festival the most mystical and memorable yet.

Animal Collective - arguably the breakthrough act of 2009 - get the party started with a bang on Friday as they unravel the cosmic chaos of their latest stellar long-player Merriweather Post Pavillion.

National treasure and all-round cultural wit Jarvis Cocker knows a thing or two about headlining festivals - he returns to the frontline on Saturday as heroic and humorous as ever with his brilliant new album Further Complications in tow.

Double Grammy-winning alt-country legends Wilco take centre stage on Sunday while a supporting cast of more than 100 unmissable acts is headed by the force of nature that is British Sea Power, the extra terrestrial pop-rock mayhem of The Aliens and very special guest Bon Iver.

Celebrate the UK's only 24-hour festival licence with a feast of after-hours mischief - not least a funk-rock-rap-house-disco workout from DJhistory and a mind-expanding seven-hour extravaganza from The Amorphous Androgynous (AKA Future Sound Of London).

Throw in The Fence Collective Sunday Social with James Yorkston and King Creosote, a European exclusive from Dirty Three, rare live sets from 13th Floor Elevators frontman Roky Erikson and lost Sixties genius Rodriguez - not to mention bright young things James Yuill and Emmy The Great - and you've got yourself a deal.
