Leave the real world behind and enter
the fantasy world of Festival No.6. Set in the magical village of Portmeirion,
in North Wales, this is a festival unlike any other in a place like no other.
But the location is not just a stunning backdrop; the village will come
alive with venues like the historic town hall and Bristol colonnade.
The first wave of acts for this year's
Festival No.6 include a festival exclusive appearance from Manic
Street Preachers, plus James Blake, Everything Everything, I Am Kloot,
Clinic, Caitlin Rose, AlunaGeorge, Laura Mvula and many more...
Festival No.6 are delighted to welcome the legendary Frankie Knuckles and Carl Craig. They'll be joined by the mighty Gilles Peterson and
pioneering Greg Wilson, along with Andrew Weatherall and Justin
Robertson, who were both highlights of last year's festival. Plus Maxxi
Soundsystem, Daniel Avery, San Soda, The Unabombers, Futureboogie,
Kyrsko, Content DJs, Balearic Mike, Bobby Irish and many more to be
announced.
Arts and culture is an integral part of Festival No.6. Stuart Maconie
(BBC 6Music) will be once again hosting a mixture of spoken word,
poetry, comedy and acoustic acts on the Piazza stage in the heart of the
magical village, headlined by John Cooper Clarke with Caitlin Moran,
Paul Morley, John Niven and many more. Faber Social and Caught By The
River will again be curating the Estuary Stage, including DBC Pierre,
Tracey Thorn, Viv Albertine, Bob Stanley and many more. The Gwyllt Woods
will come alive with the Don't Tell Stories woodland trails and there are also unique performances planned throughout the site, from street
theatre to bespoke installations.
