The unique Welsh village of Portmeirion welcomes the return of the hugely adored Festival No. 6 on Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th September, with the festival itself just announcing its first headliners to adorn the neo-classical architecture and beach side bliss of its stunning setting. 

At the summit of the bill, indie pop starlets Belle and Sebastian take up the first headline slot. After releasing their ninth studio album earlier this year to huge acclaim, the Glaswegian sextet's performance is not to be missed - get a flavour for them by listening to 'The Party Line' below. 

The second headline space throws up eccentric singer songwriter Grace Jones, who'll lead the crowd through one of her extraordinary live performances. Mercury prize winners Young Fathers, fast rising word smith Kate Tempest, Rae Morris, Shura andStornoway are also added to the line up. 

Equally adept is their roster of DJs featuring a headline slot for DJ Harvey and a UK festival exclusive from The 2 Bears. Also to be summoned to the wheels of steel are Bicep, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Gerd Janson, Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Justin Robertson, Ralph Lawson and Mark E with further headliners still to be announced.
