Creamfields Festival 2025

Creamfields is set to dominate the UK's August Bank Holiday weekend once again, returning to its sprawling Daresbury Estate home in Cheshire from Thursday, August 21st to Sunday, August 24th, 2025. Renowned globally as a leading electronic music festival, the four-day camping event is preparing for what organisers call its most ambitious edition yet, attracting an expected daily crowd of around 70,000-80,000 fans.

The 2025 lineup showcases Creamfields' signature blend of global superstars and genre leaders. Headlining duties are shared by iconic trio Swedish House Mafia, drum & bass pioneers Chase & Status, and EDM giants Martin Garrix and Hardwell. Adding significant exclusivity, the festival boasts UK Exclusive performances from ANYMA, the audio-visual project of Tale Of Us' Matteo Milleri, and dance music titan David Guetta. House favourite Sonny Fodera also brings a Northern Festival Exclusive set. Over 300 artists, including Eric Prydz, Amelie Lens, Fatboy Slim, Fisher, and Jamie Jones, will perform across roughly 30 stages, covering the full spectrum of electronic music.

Innovation in production remains a key focus. The colossal APEX indoor stage, with its 30,000 capacity, returns after its 2024 debut. Making its premiere is the HALO stage, an evolution of the 'Runway' concept, featuring a 45-meter diameter cyclical outdoor arena with pioneering 360-degree overhead video, lighting, and sound. A new woodland-themed Electric Forest stage also debuts.

Reflecting current trends, the hard techno brand Teletech significantly expands its presence with a three-day takeover in a dedicated, new 15,000-capacity arena. Beyond the music, Creamfields 2025 enhances the camper experience with two new zones: Downtown, a village offering sports, wellness, and entertainment, and Freshfields, a retreat focused on relaxation and premium facilities like saunas and hot showers.
