Creamfields 2009 was a sell out success which attracted a record breaking 60,000 people and scooped the award for Best Dance Festival.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of this August Bank Holiday weekend’s extravaganza, and we can finally reveal the line up everyone’s been waiting for.
DJ’s are once again brought to the forefront, and following last years lock out of the Cream Arena, global phenomenon David Guetta returns to make his Main Stage debut on Saturday.
Back by dope demand the mighty Tiёsto returns exclusively to Creamfields, this time he hosts the Kaleidoscope Main Stage and will close out the festival on Sunday night.
Another exciting and exclusive addition to Saturday’s Main Stage is dance titan Deadmau5 an artiste that has dominated dance floors across the globe as well as the airwaves, and swept the board at this year’s International Dance Music Awards.
Also after a three year negotiation, Cream are pleased to announce and Purple Revolver are most excited about the return of the forefathers of electronica Leftfield.
They will make their Creamfields debut and will be performing in the Cream Arena which this year has increased to a colossal 12,000 capacity.
Continuing on the live tip, self styled inventor of disco Calvin Harris, will be performing before Tiёsto’ closing set on the Kaleidoscope Main Stage.
Tiësto said: “I’m very excited to be headlining the Creamfields Festival this year. Creamfields always has one of the best crowds in the world and I can’t wait to play some of the new music that I’m producing right now. There will definitely be some surprises!”

Following two sell out shows at the legendary O2 Academy Brixton friends of the Cream family Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso aka the Swedish House Mafia return for a 3rd year to host their exclusive arena, without doubt one of the most exciting arenas at Creamfields and if last years spectacle was anything to go buy, expect James Bond style production in abundance.
Techno fans are in for a real treat as Richie Hawtin revives his unique Detroit techno sound from the 90’s under his infamous moniker Plastikman for this English festival debut.
Continuing with all things Techno, Sven Väth joins this years party for a three hour set joining forces with clubbing bible Mixmag to host an all new arena ‘Mixmag Presents Cocoon’, which promises to bring the hedonism of Ibiza and the coolness of Frankfurt’s Cocoon club to the fields of Daresbury.

Annie Mac who flies the flag for all things leftfield will be hosting her very own arena for the 3rd year running. The ‘Mac’ is a formidable force when it comes to music and if anyone knows how to start the party it’s this lady. Expect a day and night of roof blowing performances from ground breaking duo Diplo & Switch aka Major Lazer, Ms Dynamite, Zinc and Riva Starr to name a few.
