Creamfields Festival 2026 – The Ultimate Festival for Electronic Beats

Creamfields Festival 2026 electrifies the Cheshire countryside once again over the August Bank Holiday weekend — 27–30 August 2026 — bringing four colossal days of dance music and world-class production to Daresbury, near Warrington, UK. From its humble roots as a one-day event in 1998, Creamfields has evolved into one of the planet’s leading electronic music festivals, a pilgrimage for ravers chasing the biggest names, the loudest drops, and the most euphoric atmosphere on UK soil.

Each summer, Creamfields transforms its fields into a sprawling playground of sound and light, featuring towering main stages, immersive arenas, and pyrotechnic shows that rival anything in Ibiza or Vegas. Expect state-of-the-art visual design, next-level lasers, and a sound system tuned for pure, chest-thumping clarity. Beyond the main event, the festival’s sibling Creamfields South keeps the brand’s energy alive earlier in the summer — but Daresbury remains the crown jewel, the true home of the Cream Nation.

While the 2026 line-up will drop closer to spring, Creamfields’ past bills tell you everything about its pedigree. In 2025, headline sets came from Calvin Harris, Eric Prydz presents HOLO, Chase & Status (Live), Peggy Gou, Tiesto, Carl Cox Hybrid Live, Fisher, Armin van Buuren, John Summit, Hannah Laing, Amelie Lens, Patrick Topping, Eliza Rose, and Solardo, alongside hundreds of top-tier acts across house, techno, drum & bass, trance and EDM. Previous years have featured Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Deadmau5, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, and Above & Beyond — confirming Creamfields as the definitive crossroads of electronic music’s past, present and future.

Accommodation is as flexible as the line-up: bring your own tent to Standard Camping, upgrade to Dreamfields glamping for luxury bell tents and pre-pitched comfort, or go full VIP with Gold packages that include hot showers, pamper stations and prime access to the arena. Non-campers can stay in nearby Liverpool, Manchester or Warrington, with festival shuttle buses running around the clock.

With slick logistics, enormous crowds and an energy that builds from Thursday’s warm-ups to Sunday’s grand finale, Creamfields 2026 promises another chapter of euphoric history. Four days, hundreds of artists, one legendary field — the heartbeat of UK dance culture keeps pounding at Daresbury.
