Everything Everything, Catfish and the Bottlemen, James Bay and Gaz Coombes are among the latest names to be added to this year's Festival No. 6.
The cult festival boasts an impressive line-up already but now with the addition of art-pop act Everything Everything, chart-topper Bay, critically acclaimed songstress Jane Weaver, indie favourites Catfish and the Bottlemen and former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, it's now looking like one of the most tempting festival prospects for this autumn. Also joining the bill is Badly Drawn Boy who will be marking the 15th anniversary of The Hour Of Bewilderbeast.
As excitingly the festival have also announced the first names of the cultural programme with Irvine Welsh, Brix Smith in conversation with Andrew Weatherall, Stuart Maconie, Edith Bowman, a live theatrical version of Dylan Thomas Under Milk Wood (by Keith Allen) and many more added to the list. Further live acts, chefs and a third headliner will be announced.
Already announced are Belle & Sebastian, Grace Jones, Young Fathers and Kate Tempest. 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, Optimo, Ralph Lawson, Justin Robertson, Maurice Fulton and Mark E.
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.
