As a result, whilst rockers can head out to the likes of Reading & Leeds or Download, one festival is the perfect location for fans of dance, who wish to experience an unbeatable weekend of DJs and live acts.
Creamfields takes place towards the end of August near Runcorn in Cheshire, hosting all of the biggest names in dance music in one location. It provides an unbeatable experience for dance fans and a suitable alternative to the rock festivals that dominate the scene.
It first appeared in 1998 and was originally hosted in a different location in Liverpool. It was a huge success almost straight away, hosting a variety of acts and offering an unmissable event for years to come. Since then, Creamfields has been seen across the world in locations from Argentina, Ireland, Prague, Turkey, Chile, Brazil, Russia, Mexico and beyond. It has literally become a worldwide phenomenon born out of an event held at the Old Airfield in Liverpool and since blossoming into the highlight of the annual dance calendar.
The Buenos Aires edition of Creamfields is possibly the most prolific outside of the British one and has been held since 2001 and achieving unprecedented success. It has attracted thousands of people, just as it has in the UK, and become a popular draw.
Creamfields tickets are likely to be a popular draw, so getting hold of them fast is a must. But this is a given considering the unbeatable line ups that have graced its stages across its years in a Cheshire field:
In 2004, back when it was still hosted in Liverpool, Creamfields featured the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Goldfrapp, A Man Called Adam and Scissor Sisters, with 2005 seeing Basement Jaxx, Faithless and the Audio Bullys amongst its star line up. When the show moved to Cheshire it continued to attract huge names and 2007 saw the Chemical Brothers return and appear alongside Groove Armada. By 2008, the festival was continuing to enjoy unprecedented success, with Kasabian and Tiësto joined by the likes of Fatboy Slim, Pendulum and Paul Van Dyke. The most recent festival, held in August 2009, saw a line up that included the return of Basement Jaxx, Tiësto and Paul Van Dyke alongside Dizzee Rascal, deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Friendly Fires and more. As a result, it is safe to say that Creamfields is going from strength to strength as it heads into the new decade.
So make sure you get hold of Creamfields tickets for the ultimate weekend of unbeatable dance across a memorable weekend.
