Creamfields has just dropped some huge news: Calvin Harris will be the first headliner for its 2026 edition, which also marks 20 years of the festival at its iconic Daresbury home.
Taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend (Thursday 27th – Sunday 30th August 2026), Creamfields will once again transform Cheshire into a global dance music hotspot, welcoming 80,000 festival-goers for four days of high-energy performances, state-of-the-art production, and the kind of atmosphere that has made it one of the biggest electronic festivals in the world.
Calvin Harris is no stranger to Creamfields. Since his first appearance back in 2009, he’s delivered some of the festival’s most memorable sets, and his return feels perfectly timed for such a milestone year. He’ll be headlining the legendary Arc Stage on Saturday 29th August, bringing with him a catalogue of global hits, including this summer’s chart-topping track Blessings.
After a record-breaking edition in 2025, anticipation is already sky-high for what Creamfields is calling “a celebration like no other.” With more names still to be announced, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about years in the festival’s history.
Creamfields is promising a 20th anniversary edition full of unforgettable moments.
