Creamfields (Daresbury, UK) 2026

About

A vibrant surge of anticipation pulses through the UK’s dance-music scene as Creamfields returns to the picturesque grounds of Daresbury Estate in Cheshire from 27 to 30 August 2026, marking its 20th anniversary with not just an event but a milestone celebration. Set against the sprawling landscapes of the estate, the music festival will feature world-renowned headliners including Sonny Fodera—making his only English festival appearance next year—joined by a vast cast of international icons and emerging talents that embody the full spectrum of house, techno, drum & bass and trance. With over 300 artists expected across multiple stages, the lineup builds on last year’s bold programme that featured exclusive sets from acts like David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Hardwell and Amelie Lens, illustrating the festival’s steady ascent in scale and scope.

The site will transform into a high-octane playground of sights and sounds: expect massive main arenas engineered for immersion, clandestine after-hours zones tucked into woodland, and sunrise sets that stretch long after the last bass drop. Audio-visual production will rival the biggest arena shows, with laser columns, motion-sensor LED walls and thunderous sound-systems calibrated to envelop every corner of the festival footprint. Beyond the music, the weekend is designed as an all-in experience: chilling in shaded lounges by day, dancing beneath starlit skies by night, and connecting with a diverse crowd drawn from across the globe. Seasoned festival-goers and first-timers alike will find themselves swept into the same currents of euphoria and community.

What distinguishes Creamfields is its blend of stadium-level impact and the feel of an inclusive basecamp for electronic music culture. Across the Bank Holiday weekend, the energy will build from warm-up beats to peak-time anthems, culminating in heartfelt moments that only a landmark event can deliver. Creamfields 2026 is not simply a festival; it is a landmark gathering for dance-music lovers eager for spectacle, connection and transformation under the summer skies of England’s dance-festival heartland.
