The 2025 edition marks a new era for dance music fans, as Cream HQ continues to redefine festival production with its most ambitious setup yet. This year sees the launch of HALO, a groundbreaking outdoor mega-stage presented by SHEIN and designed by the visionary Lucid Creates, alongside the debut of The Forest Stage, featuring cutting-edge design for a truly immersive experience.

But the innovation doesn’t stop there. Downtown, an all-new entertainment village, has been introduced to take the festival experience beyond the music. Here, festivalgoers can dive into a variety of activities, including five-a-side football, basketball, DJ Academy, Rave Karaoke, Bingo Bango, an onsite gym, pamper stations, Rave Aerobics, and even an onsite spa, perfect for those looking to recharge before hitting the dancefloor again.

Renowned for pushing the boundaries of festival production, Creamfields continues to set the gold standard for electronic music events. And with a lineup and experience like this, there’s only one place to be this August Bank Holiday weekend!
