Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields 2026 continues its momentum with major announcements ahead of its landmark 20-year celebration at Daresbury this August. Taking place from Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th August during the Bank Holiday weekend, the festival has just confirmed chart-topping duo Disclosure and global dance icons Swedish House Mafia as headline acts, cementing what promises to be one of the most anticipated dance events of 2026.
Disclosure will deliver a UK festival exclusive performance, headlining the Arc Stage on Friday 28th August, marking their first-ever Creamfields appearance. Swedish House Mafia will take over the APEX Stage on Sunday 30th August to round off the festival’s final day. Techno powerhouse Amelie Lens has also secured a UK festival exclusive slot, debuting her brand-new AURA show inside the legendary Steel Yard on Saturday 29th August. These announcements build on last month’s headline reveals of Calvin Harris, Sonny Forera, Armin van Buuren, and Underworld, establishing an exceptional lineup across multiple stages.
The festival’s APEX Stage will continue to deliver high-energy performances throughout the weekend. Ewan McVicar will make his APEX Stage debut with one of his trademark high-energy sets on Sunday 30th August. A firm fan favourite with a meteoric Creamfields journey, McVicar’s appearance adds further depth to the Sunday schedule alongside Swedish House Mafia’s closing performance.
Over 80,000 fans are expected to make their annual pilgrimage to the fields of Cheshire for the celebration, with further act announcements still to come. The festival’s 20-years-at-Daresbury milestone marks a significant moment in Creamfields’ storied history, with organisers promising one of the most unforgettable editions yet. Tickets are on sale now via the official website.
