Other confirmed acts include Jonathan Richman, Junior Boys, Damien Jurado, The Time & Space Machine (Live), Cass McCombs, Scritti Polliti, Slow Club, Ghost Poet, Peaking Lights, Dark Dark Dark, Cashier No. 9, Islet, Rocketnumbernine, Alt-J, Teeth of the Sea, The Perch Creek Family Jug Band, Richard Warren, Goodnight Lenin, Sweet Baboo and Alaska.

Feist, whose 2011 album Metals was among one of our albums of the year, will take to the stage at the 10th anniversary Green Man Festival on Sunday August 19 (festival dates August 17-19) and heads the first wave of amazing acts confirmed for the most varied and exciting line-up in its decade-long history. Her Grammy-nominated 2007 solo breakthrough The Reminder sold over a million copies worldwide, while last year’s superb follow-up Metals was declared the best album of 2011 by The New York Times. A long-standing member of acclaimed music collective Broken Social Scene, Feist has also collaborated with the likes of Wilco, Beck and Grizzly Bear, and this month received a 2012 Brit Award nomination for Best International Female Solo Artist.
