Creamfields 2026 Lineup: Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix and More
Creamfields returns to Daresbury, Cheshire from 27–30 August 2026, bringing hundreds of DJs and electronic artists together for one of the biggest dance music festivals in the world.
The 2026 edition is particularly significant because Creamfields is celebrating 20 years at its Daresbury home.
Who is playing Creamfields 2026?
Saturday is packed with major names including Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Alesso, Amelie Lens, CamelPhat, Dom Dolla, Eli Brown and KETTAMA.
Sunday then brings Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Faithless Live, Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera, Armand van Helden, Gorgon City, Fatboy Slim, Duke Dumont and Ferry Corsten.
Friday features Disclosure Live, Fisher, Eric Prydz, Chris Stussy, Carl Cox, Franky Wah, Ben Nicky, Darren Styles, Lilly Palmer, Shy FX and Paul Oakenfold.
There has also been a late lineup change. John Summit withdrew from Creamfields along with several other August festival appearances, with the current official Creamfields schedule listing Eric Prydz as the special guest on Friday’s Apex stage.
Creamfields 2026 has almost every corner of dance music covered
One of Creamfields’ strengths is that it isn’t simply an EDM festival.
House, techno, trance, drum and bass, hard dance and more underground electronic sounds all appear across the weekend.
Someone interested in massive festival productions can see Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix or Swedish House Mafia, while techno fans can move towards Amelie Lens, Carl Cox and Charlotte de Witte-style programming.
Drum and bass has its own substantial presence through Andy C, Hedex, Hybrid Minds, Culture Shock, Kanine, Sigma and others.
The result is less like attending a single electronic concert and more like being dropped into dozens of different club scenes at once.
When is Creamfields 2026?
Creamfields takes place from Thursday 27 August to Sunday 30 August 2026 in Daresbury, Cheshire.
With Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Disclosure, Fisher and hundreds more appearing, Creamfields 2026 is shaping up as one of Europe’s biggest electronic music weekends of the year.
