Festival No.6 in Portmeirion announces 2013 line-up

The event takes its name from the cult 1960s TV series filmed at Portmeirion

Festival No.6, which was voted best newcomer at last year's Festival Awards, has announced its headliners for 2013.

The event, which takes place in Portmeirion, will see the Manic Street Preachers top the bill.

Also set to appear are AlunaGeorge and Laura Mvula, both finalists on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list.

There will also be sets from DJs including Gilles Peterson as well as comedy, cinema and theatre.

Writers confirmed to speak include Caitlin Moran, DBC Pierre and John Cooper Clarke.

The news was announced on BBC Radio 6 Music on Thursday morning.

The festival takes place in September and offers a range of accommodation from general camping to cottages.

Portmeirion was built by architect Sir Clough William-Ellis and is now protected by a registered charity.

The festival was named after the cult 1960s TV series shot there, The Prisoner.

Festival organisers say that they "will endeavour to follow Clough's motto: by cherishing the past, adorning the Present, whilst building for the future".

In addition to winning best new festival at the Festival Awards 2012, New Order were recognised for their headline performance at Festival No.6.

It was also named best small festival by judges at the NME Awards last month.

It takes place between 13 and 15 September. Tickets are on sale now.
