The The are the first headliners to be announced for next year's Festival No.6
The appearance will be the band's only confirmed UK performance outside of London. Speaking about it, the band's founder Matt Johnson said:
“I first visited beautiful Portmeirion as a child in the 1960s and have returned on holiday many times over the years. I’m also still a huge fan of The Prisoner. In recent years I’ve watched with great interest how Festival No.6 has grown into the most vibrant music, arts and culture festival in the UK. We are delighted to be headlining in 2018 and look forward to contributing to a fantastic festival with lots of wonderful people in the most idyllic setting imaginable.”
Festival No.6 will again take over the village of Portmeirion in North Wales from September 6-9. Early bird tickets go on sale at 10am on October 26.
The The, meanwhile, are set to release 'Radio Cineola Trilogy: A Broadcast By The The', a new box set featuring songs, poetry, spoken word pieces, political commentary and electronic scores, on October 20.
On the same day The Inertia Variations documentary will premiere at the ICA in London. Johanna St Michaels' film focuses on Johnson and the 'Radio Cineola' broadcast. Head here for more information and details of screenings.
