Underworld's combination of characteristic stuttering, melancholy vocals and thumping techno makes for music that’s built for live crowds, and given they formed in Cardiff in 1987, their Green Man headline appearance will be something of a Welsh homecoming too. Yes, there’s that exhilarating scene in Trainspotting — but Underworld’s Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have ascended to electronic royalty status since their breakthrough in the nineties. They released their eleventh album Strawberry Hotel late last year, a captivating mix of psych-pastoral, guitar, and absolute rave bangers.
