Patti Smith will be headlining the opening night at this years Green Man festival. Ambitious, unconventional and challenging, Patti’s music has been hailed as the most exciting fusion of rock and poetry since Bob Dylan’s heyday.

Patti’s debut album Horses (produced by fellow Green Man 2013 star John Cale) kick-started one of the most singular and diverse careers in rock; it remains an influential landmark that sounds as fresh, relevant and exciting as ever today.
 
Patti headlines a superb opening night of live music in the Far Out Tent on Thursday night, with support from the brilliant Matt Berry, Mekons founder and Wales own massive creative genius Jon Langford and hotly-tipped and talented Manchester hopefuls Money.  
 
Matt Berry  is a musical polymath whose second album Kill The Wolf is currently receiving rave reviews from all quarters. Following on from last year's critically acclaimed progressive folk opus Withchazel, it’s the latest development in an amazing career that has also taken in acting and award-winning comedy writing.

Jon Langford  was born in Newport, Wales. He is a founding member of legendary punk band the Mekons, art-metal power trio The Three Johns, and militant hard-country rockers the Waco Brothers. In 2012 he represented Wales contemporary music offer in the Cultural Olympiad event “Busk on the Usk.” Since moving to Chicago in 1992 he has exhibited his own art and published three multimedia spoken word collections.
 
Money are a Manchester four-piece that embody the passion, creativity and optimism of a new generation of artists and musicians from this most poetic of cities. Selling out shows before they’d even released a single, Money were quickly snapped up by the ever-discerning Simon Raymonde and his Bella Union label.
