This morning details have been announced for the line-up for a new boutique festival being held in Portmeirion this summer.

New Order

New Order, Primal Scream, Spiritualized, Mr Scruff, Derek Carter, Andrew Weatherall and Jerry Dammers are among the live acts and DJs who are booked to appear at from 14-16 September in the historic Italianate village in north Wales.

A full line-up is available on the festival's website.

Stephen Morris of New Order said: "It's an amazing location for a festival, we can't believe it hasn't been done before. It's going to be absolutely spectacular, so we're all really looking forward to it."

The festival features "Bands, DJs, musicians and string ensembles performing across the entire site, from the historic town hall to the Colonnade gardens to the picturesque Bay Stage and the promenade along the estuary of the River Dwyryd," according to a press release. "The diverse bill ranges from rock and roll to Balearic, funk to folk, seashanties to Welsh male voice choirs."

Festival director Gareth Cooper told us: "In a market saturated with festivals and with the Olympics looming it would take an idiot or something pretty special to warrant starting a new one. We've found what we hope will become one of the most outstanding and defining boutique festival sites in the world.

"It's fantastic to be announcing a lineup including New Order, Primal Scream and Spiritualized, and we're especially excited to work with Portmeirion as a location. It's a totally jaw-dropping, mind-blowing place, offering a premium event aimed at a slightly more mature and discerning crowd. We're confident it's going to be one of the most stylish festivals the UK has ever seen."

Robin Llywelyn, managing director of Portmeirion Ltd, said: "It is a great pleasure to be working with Festival No.6. [Portmeirion architect] Sir Clough Williams-Ellis envisaged that his labour of love would give pleasure to as many people as possible and we believe that with Festival No.6 we can uphold his motto and final wishes by presenting Portmeirion to a whole new generation to enjoy and appreciate."
