After a spectacular 15th anniversary occasion, you might have thought it was going to be hard to top last year's edition of Green Man Festival. However, an astounding new line-up for summer 2018 has just been announced that could prove those initial assertions wrong.

Leading the roster are The War On Drugs and Fleet Foxes. The former have just received the Best Rock Album Grammy for their 2017 album 'A Deeper Understanding', while the latter returned after six long years with 'Crack-Up' last June. They previously played the festival in 2009.

Noughties indie-folk favourites Fleet Foxes have announced details of their first new album in six years, which is titled Crack-Up and is due for release on June 16th via Nonesuch Records.

The Seattle-based group also shared the first taster from the new album, their third effort, entitled ‘Third of May / Odaigahara’, which clocks in at an epic nine minutes, in the form of a lyric video.

Crack-Up is the first new studio album that Fleet Foxes have announced since 2011’s Helplessness Blues. Inspired by a F Scott Fitzgerald essay of the same name, all 11 tracks on the new album have been written by the band’s leader Robin Pecknold, who has also produced the record in tandem with bandmate Skyler Skjelset.

That's why Budweiser have put their heads together to release this series of nationwide music documentaries ahead of the festival, to cement that important ideology of variation and musical freedom.
