Mercury Rev have been announced as the Saturday headliners for this year’s Green Man festival, which will see them play their classic 1998 album, Deserter’s Songs, in its entirety.

It’s hard to imagine a better venue for the play-back than the festival’s Mountain Stage, which perfectly frames the Brecon Beacons.

Also announced today were this eclectic bunch: Augustines, The Field, Ben UFO, Joanna Gruesome, Ought, The Pooh Sticks,Vancouver Sleep Clinic, H Hawkline, as well as DJ sets from Huw Stephens, Heavenly DJs and Simian Mobile Disco.

They join the likes of Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, First Aid Kit, Anna Calvi, Daughter, The War On Drugs,  Neko Case, Toy and Sharon Van Etten.

Green Man Festival takes place in the Glanusk Estate, Black Mountains, Wales on 14-17 August 2014. More here.
