Cambridge Folk Festival.
I went a couple of years and had a great time, it's a good size, friendly atmosphere, lots of great acts in terms of musicianship (though you might have to leave any indie-credibilty at the door). Jon Butler Trio, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and the Broken Family Band were especially good. Also, for all the hate he now recieves, Newton Faulkner showed himself to be an incredible guitar player.
green man?
well, folk at least
Truck, Electric Gardens, Guilfest
All have acoustic stages.
