Creamfields is back this August with a full-throttle lineup, new stages, and a serious step up in how the UK’s biggest dance festival is run.
Set across 600 acres in Daresbury, near Runcorn, Creamfields 2025 runs from 21–24 August and features more than 300 artists across 30 stages. That’s a lot of music — and a lot of late nights — for the thousands making the annual pilgrimage to the North West.
Headliners this year include David Guetta, who returns to the festival in full mainstage mode, alongside Anyma, whose recent rise has made him one of the most talked-about names in electronic music right now. Also on the bill: Chase & Status, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Amelie Lens, Sonny Fodera, Jamie Jones, CamelPhat, Patrick Topping, Fatboy Slim, Eric Prydz, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Solardo, and Ewan McVicar — a heavyweight mix of house, techno, trance and everything in between.
But 2025 isn’t just about who’s playing, it’s also about how Creamfields is evolving. This year marks the start of a three-year sustainability plan aimed at cutting the festival’s environmental footprint, alongside new investments in the festival layout, production and on-site experience.
Two brand new stages have been added to the setup, plus a completely reworked entertainment zone for campers. Expect five-a-side football, basketball, pamper stations, karaoke, a DJ academy, an on-site spa (yes, really), an open gym and aerobics sessions — basically everything you didn’t know you needed at 3pm in a field before heading into 10 hours of high-energy sets.
According to organisers, the changes are part of a “new era for dance music fans” — one shaped directly by audience feedback and driven by the need to rethink what festivals can offer beyond the music.
For longtime Creamfields heads, this year is about scale and spectacle, but also a step towards something more intentional — bigger shows, but better infrastructure.
