Creamfields Festival
26 Aug - 29 Aug
Creamfields Festival is the UK’s biggest dance music festival. Born in 1998, the original dance festival set out to provide the clubbing world with a bespoke large-scale outdoor event, putting DJs centre stage for the first time. The festival has grown from a 25,000-capacity one-day show to the four-day camping behemoth it is today, attracting sell-out crowds of 70,000.
Renowned for attracting the biggest names in electronic music, huge production and iconic staging, each year features over 300 artists performing across 30 stages over the four-day weekend. Some of the big name artists who have performed over the years include Swedish House Mafia, Eric Prydz, The Chemical Brothers, Tiësto, Carl Cox, Martin Garrix, Fatboy Slim, Faithless, Armin van Buuren and many more.
Covering every genre under the ‘electronic music’ banner it’s no surprise that Creamfields has won an array of awards over the years including best dance event and best major festival.
Creamfields Festival 2020 was cancelled, due to the coronavirus outbreak. Ticket-holders have the option to roll their tickets over to the 2021 edition. You can read the festival’s statement here
