Following the success of the 2012 festival, Festival No. 6 is back for 2013.
An enchanted, unforgettable festival experience in the most incredible festival site you will ever see, Festival No. 6 is an intimate, bespoke banquet of music, arts and culture in a mystical, magical village.
Welsh trio Manic Street Preachers have been persuaded to end their self-imposed two-year exile to headline one of the nights at this year's event, in a UK festival exclusive.
The musical bill at Festival No.6 - recently named Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards and Best Small Festival at the NME Awards - will again combine a blend of iconic acts alongside the freshest emerging talent and a stunning DJ line-up.
See www.festivalnumber6.com/ for further information.
