Creamfields

Held over four beats-packed days and nights over the August Bank Holiday weekend, Creamfields is one of the world’s biggest dance music festivals. That’s in terms of size (the campsites can probably be seen from space) and the calibre of the headlining acts. Expect big crowds and big names and the kind of spectacular light shows and production levels that imprint themselves on your memory, even if the rest of the night is a bit hazy.

Creamfields 2026

Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 August 2026

In 2026, Creamfields celebrates its 20th edition at its ancestral home – the bucolic Daresbury Estate in Cheshire. The line-up features, amongst many others, Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Disclosure Live, Faithless, Underworld, Amelie Lens presents AURA, Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera, Armand Van Helden, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, and Camelphat.

This year, they’re also bringing back the Downtown area which features everything from an onsite gym and five-a-side football to wellness classes, pampering, and secret sets. So if things get messy on Friday night, you can recover and reset here ready for Saturday night’s shenanigans. Even the most hardcore EDM fans need time to chill after all.
