Richard Hawley, Death in Vegas, Gruff Rhys and more join Festival No.6 Line Up

Richard Hawley, psychedelic rockers Death in Vegas, Gruff Rhys, Kindness and LA indie rockers Local Natives have today been announced for the eclectic and adventurous weekender.

Also announced today are  Field Music, Everything Everything, Beth Jeans Houghton, Alt-J, Cate le Bon, Jessie Ware, Eugene McGuiness, Clock Opera, The Wave Pictures, Gang Colours, Y Niwl, Sweet Baboo and The Whip.

These latest acts join already announced headliners New Order, Primal Scream and Spiritualized, who are all set to perform amidst the neo-classical architecture, sandy beaches and palm trees of Portmeirion from 14th-16th September.

The festival has also announced a delightfully eccentric and eclectic arts and culture programme for the aptly named Estuary Stage featuring the likes of British Sea Power, King Creosote and T.O.Y. The stage, which overlooks the stunning river Afon Dwyryd, has been curated by the acclaimed nature and culture website; Caught by the River. Expect everything from nature talks and walks to rock’n’roll readings and psychedelic sundown sets.

Bands, DJs, musicians and string ensembles will be performing across the entire site, from the historic town hall to the Colonnade gardens to the picturesque bay. The diverse bill ranges from dance to Balearic, funk to folk, seashanties to Welsh male voice choirs. From specially curated stages and dance tents by Electric Elephant and Electric Chair to literary talks by Faber Social, Festival No. 6 has something for everyone.

Attendees will get the chance to enjoy cinema screenings, street theatre, prose and poetry readings, midnight masquerades, cliff-top comedy stages, secret parties, impromptu interactive moments and even participate in cultural lectures and debates.

Details of the unique accommodation options have also been released. Choices range from the palatial rooms within historic Castell Deudraeth, to individual gatehouses, towers and cottages in the village, all with their own unique character, to luxury yurts, tipis and bell tents. Or you can simply bring your own tent. Wherever you sleep, you’ll wake to stunning views of Snowdonia and the River Dwyryd estuary.

The rugged Welsh landscape will also offer guests the opportunity to get physical with activities including  swimming, zorbing, clay pigeon shooting and archery.

Food and drink options range from an indulgent bite at the pop-up Champagne and Oyster bar to a full dinner at the castle’s long table. A whole host of delicious locally sourced and organically grown meals will be available alongside some special guest ales for those looking to sidestep the usual lager and cider offerings.
