About Creamfields

The festival relocated to Liverpool the following year before settling permanently in Cheshire, in North West England, where it has been held every August bank holiday weekend since. What began as a single day has grown into a four-day camping festival attracting up to roughly 70,000 people per day across multiple themed stages and arenas.

Over its history Creamfields has hosted electronic acts spanning the genre's range, from early trance and progressive house DJs such as Paul van Dyk and Sasha to later headliners including Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix; its 2019 edition featured Swedish House Mafia's first UK show since their reunion. The festival was named Best Dance Festival at the UK Festival Awards multiple times through the 2000s and 2010s.

Now organised by Live Nation, Creamfields has expanded into a global brand, with licensed sister festivals staged in more than twenty countries, while the original UK event continues to run annually as one of the country's largest dedicated dance-music gatherings.
