Post-punk band The The are set to headline next year’s Festival Number 6.
The group – who formed in 1979 and have been teasing a new album for a few years now – already have a few London shows planned for next summer as part of a “comeback special”.
Festival No. 6 takes place in Portmeirion from 6th-9th September, with early bird tickets going on sale next Thursday (26th October).
The band’s Matt Johnson says of the booking: “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.”
