Fiona Stewart, Green Man Managing Director and owner, said: “Launching talent is at the heart of Green Man and to see over 4000 bands applying to Green Man Rising has been incredible. To emerge as a finalist from that number already proves your phenomenal talent. But there can only be one winner and we are delighted to welcome wing! to open the Mountain stage, sharing the bill with the likes of Underworld and Wet Leg, and joining the music legends who have graced that stage over the years, or even launched their careers.”
