Green Man Festival, on Facebook, said: "Unearth your GM23 line-up.
"Our three belting headliners coming your way - the ethereal-duo First Aid Kit, who return to cast a folk-tinted spell over the Brecon Beacons after almost a decade away!
"Plus new wave pioneers Devo, whose set as part of their farewell tour will go down in the GM history books.
"And to launch us into another stratosphere, J Spaceman and his band of merry space-cadets, will see Spiritualized entrance us all amongst the mountains!
"Plus, Aussie rioters Amyl and The Sniffers, shoegaze heroes Slowdive(band), a festival exclusive slot with indie pioneers The Walkmen, Mercury award-winning Young Fathers, purveyors of the party Confidence Man and Sweden’s cosmic-psych collective Goat!"
But that's not all.
Festival organisers said there was still one final headliner, and more acts to be revealed.
Organisers said: "Plus plenty more acts to follow (and a final headliner), so keep ears to the ground. Big love, GM."
Headliners First Aid Kit took to Twitter following the announcement to say just how excited they were to be heading back to Green Man Festival.
First Aid Kit said: "Guys, we’re HEADLINING @GreenManFest in August!
"One of our best memories was playing Greenman in 2014 and now we’re finally back.
"Can’t wait to see you again, UK!"
Green Man favourites and Welsh natives Melyn Melin will also be playing at the festival for the third year in a row.
They will be joined by a host of other Welsh acts including The Gentle Good, H Hawkline and The Bug Club.
Dylan Morgan, member of Welsh Music Prize winning act Boy Azooga, will also be bringing his new project DD Darillo to Green Man for the first time in 2023, alongside Sister Wives who will also be bringing their own brand of psychedelic folklore to the Black Mountains event.
Not just known for its music and scenery, Green Man Festival is made up of 10 individual areas offering a diverse range of events to accompany its incredible line-up.
There are art installations spread throughout the tranquil valley, a beer and cider tent to enjoy a crisp Welsh pint, an Ancient Egypt-themed area of discovery and exploration for the little folk, a relaxation and workshop space for the teenagers, plus a science engagement area called Einstein’s Garden.
This will be the 21st Green Man Festival after the event celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.
Unfortunately, tickets are no longer available for this year's event.
Tickets for Green Man Festival 2023 sold out in just four hours after they went on sale in September last year.
