Track Of The Day #987: Ride - Charm Assault 2

NEWS: Ride announced as Thursday night Headliners for Green Man Festival

Green Man Festival have announced Ride as their Thursday night headliners for this years event. They will be performing on the FAR OUT, fresh from the release of ‘Weather Diaries’ – their first album in 21 years.

Elsewhere on their line-up they list ‘the psychedelic garage rock of ALLAHLAS, the lo-fi indie-pop of Spanish quartet HINDS and the late-night hypnotic electro beats of DANIEL AVERY. PLUS we’ve bagged D.D DUMBO, CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON, THE MATTSON 2 and a whole host of other Green Man delights. They join our already MASSIVE line-up alongside PJ HARVEY, RYAN ADAMS, FUTURE ISLANDS and THE SHINS.

By night, our Far Out area will become a utopia of otherworldly pleasures, courtesy of our pals at CHAI WALLAHS. Those guys know how to throw a party: Mercury-nominated cosmic jazz trio THE COMET IS COMING, poet, novelist, musician and lecturer described as the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain ANTHONY JOSEPH, the return of genre-defying noisemakers BROKEN BRASS ENSEMBLE and infectious West African vibes from Ghana via Sheffield 9-piece K.O.G. & THE ZONGO BRIGADE are among the performers set to rock your world after dark. Diplomats of Sound will also be DJing between a further 35 plus acts!’
