The UK’s biggest dance music festival, Creamfields returns in August, bringing another stacked line-up to the green fields of Daresbury. With most artists announced in February, Saturday’s headliner was still left unknown.
Speculations were going around the Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris or Fred Again.., and it looks like some fans got it right, with the Swedes returning to Creamfield’s Arc Stage on 23rd August.
The last time Angello, Ingrosso and Axwell were present at the UK edition of the festival was in 2023, when they again shut down the Arc Stage with a set for the ages in which they played classics, as well as new tunes, such as ‘See The Light’ and ‘Ray of Solar.’
Swedish House Mafia have a rich history with the UK festival, having played for the first time there in 2007, back when the boys were not even known under the name that later became part of the EDM hall of fame. After their first performance at Creamfields, Swedish House Mafia returned to the festival in 2019 for an UK exclusive performance.
There are many reasons that make their 2019 Creamfields set iconic, one of them being the £4 million damage that they caused when ‘Antidote’ dropped in the fields. The amount of fire used at the drop permanently destroyed the stage’s LED screens.
Creamfields 2025 – What Else To Expect
Along with the Mafia making their comeback to England, Creamfields did not hold back and delivered another amazing line-up. Names like Anyma, Eric Prydz, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, and many more will provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest festivals in Europe.
The grounds will also receive a new revamped look that brings an all new woodland themed stage, as well as a big update to the famous Runway stage. For fans of the harder beats, Teletech will return to Creamfields, now in a new arena dedicated to the techno promoter.
‘Freshfields’ is an all new area at Creamfields, one where festival-goers will be able to relax in saunas, hot tubs and sun loungers or refresh at the pamper tent, stocked with hairdryers, straighteners, and everything needed to make sure they maintain their look throughout the festival.
Besides this, ‘Downtown’ will be introduced for the first time. A brand-new sports, wellness and entertainment village that offers attendees a chance to mix fun, fitness, games, beauty, and relaxation in one place.
Camping will also be made easier for those who want a stress-free experience. The ‘Dreamfields Hotel’ will be available this year for the first time, providing a variety of ensuite rooms, including safari tents, safari grands, tenthouses, and tipi tenthouse Suites with luxurious bedding and premium amenities.
Considering all these upgrades and the state of the art line-up, Creamfields is announcing to have another jaw-dropping edition, proving everyone once more why they are one of the most notorious festivals on the continent.
