Man, we hope this is just like Burning Man, except they set this guy on fire. Either way, the fifth annual Green Man Festival-- which goes down August 17-19 at Glanusk Estate in Wales' Brecon Beacons National Park-- is shaping up to be an event to remember.

Among the confirmed performers: Joanna Newsom, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, Bill Callahan (fka Smog), Vashti Bunyan, Gruff Rhys (of Super Furry Animals), Vetiver, Dead Meadow, Euros Childs (ex-Gorky's Zygotic Mynci), Tunng, the Earlies, Alela Diane, Starless & Bible Black, Monkey Swallows the Universe, and Richmond Fontaine. Bring mom and dad too: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation headline the fest's second night! Newsom tops the first night's bill, while Malkmus-- who now counts Janet Weiss among his Jicks-- closes out the fest.

Tickets are on sale now.
