Belle & Sebastian, Grace Jones, Young Fathers and Kate Tempest are among the first wave of acts announced for this year's Festival No.6. See the full line-up and ticket details below. 

Other names at the breath-taking celebration of music and culture at Portmeirion in Wales include Rae Morris, Shura, Stornoway, The Bohicas, Fryars, DJ Harvey, a live set from 2 Bears, Bicep, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Gerd Jansen, Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Ralph Lawson, Justin Robertson, Maurice Fulton and Mark E.

Pretty good, eh? 

Festival director Luke Huxham said: “We’re tremendously excited about this year’s festival. Our first wave of artists and DJ’s is stronger than ever and there’s a lot more to come including our third main stage headline act, another headline DJ and a big second wave of live acts.

“We have a huge amount to announce on the culture, arts and food side of the festival which is an increasingly important part of the No.6 experience. There are also a few surprises up our sleeves - I think it’s safe to say it’s going to be our best festival yet.”

The site of the boutique festival is the beatiful village of Portmeirion - where the classic TV show The Prisoner was filmed.

A spokesman said: "Constructed between 1925 and 1975 by maverick architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion is a wonderfully bizarre and elaborate interpretation of a Mediterranean villa, nestled in the stunning mountains and forests of North Wales overlooking the expansive estuarial waters of the Irish Sea"

Festival No.6 takes place from 3-6 September, 2015. For tickets and information, visit here
