Breaking with tradition, British festival giants Creamfields have released full set-times for the 2026 festival, a full month before the Bank Holiday weekend event, in Daresbury, Cheshire. Usually revealing the much-anticipated timings for the 4-day festival on their app just a day or two before the festival itself begins, Cream treated fans to a month-long sneak peak this time around, ahead of Day One of the party on Thursday 27th August.
A true behemoth of the U.K dance scene, Cream have been hosting Creamfields at the current site since 2006, with this year’s edition marking a special 20-year anniversary. The electronic music festival was previously homed in Winchester, from inception in 1998, and has grown to become one of the biggest weekends on the dance calendar. This year’s edition has been widely praised so far, with fans delighted at the prospect of a mouth-watering Saturday evening which includes 4.5 hours of progressive EDM bliss, thanks to a consecutive run of Martin Garrix-Calvin Harris-Alesso. However, some fans questioned the decision to host HALO (Third Party b2b Matisse & Sadko b2b Dubvision) in the 2am slot, given how much energy their incredible live sets, bring. On the other hand, such a set might just ignite the legs of tired ravers!
Sunday is also looking particularly delicious, with Swedish House Mafia playing a unique day-time slot, as they take over the APEX Stage, the giant indoor-mega structure, from 3pm, before jetting off to Ibiza for their Ushuaia residency. The move has freed up a headline slot for Tiesto, who will play out the festival in the final slot on Sunday evening, delivering his trance classics to the Steel Yard, whilst Sonny Fodera brings his commercial sound to the Arc stage at the same time. You can access full set times now, via the Creamfields app.
