The festival really established itself as a national outdoor event and saw a rapid expansion to 6,500. The Green Men festival was given a 5 star rating in the Guardian newspaper and 4 star rating in The Times. The event was headlined by Donovan, Jose Gonzalez and Calexico. Other performers included Adem, Bat for Lashes, Jack Rose, Marissa Nadler, and Micah P. Hinson and Joe Boyd appeared in the Literature Tent, and the Institute of Physics started the science tent.
