Creamfields

Creamfields is a major electronic music festival hosted annually over bank holiday weekends in Daresbury, Cheshire, in the United Kingdom. The recurring gathering brings together prominent dance acts, electronic music performers, and massive stage setups including large indoor festival structures such as the APEX stage.

The multi-day event draws dedicated electronic dance music fans from across the region, with partygoers traveling long distances to secure passes when competing music events experience venue disruptions. While top international DJs are routinely booked for the lineup, artists occasionally cancel scheduled appearances due to grueling performance schedules and prep work for upcoming headlining tours, as seen when DJ John Summit pulled out of his August festival dates.

Promoters regularly plan multi-day celebrations around significant milestones, such as a major 30th-anniversary festival scheduled for late August 2027. Electronic dance pioneers The Prodigy were named as the first official headliner for the 2027 weekend, marking the group's return to the festival stage for the first time in 14 years.
