ORGANISERS of dance festival Creamfields have announced more arenas and top acts.

The spectacular Daresbury August Bank Holiday fest’s Strongbow tent will feature DJ acts Jaguar Skills, Brodinski, Kissy Sell Out, Zinc, Goldierocks, Louis La Roche, Maxxi Soundsystem, Marc Roberts, Rory Phillips, StopMakingMe, General Jimmy and Mr Paul – plus live performances from disco-house legends Retro/Grade, Balearic don Chad Valley, pioneering beatsmith Star Slinger and live dub-step from Dansette Junior.

Other acts announced include DJ and Tiesto collaborator Hardwell.

New blood will be on the agenda when the festival welcomes back the Mixmag Future Heroes Arena, which will take pride of place in an ‘igloo’ structure.

As part of its commitment to kick-starting careers, Mixmag has pulled together some of the most exciting new DJs in clubland, including D.O.D, Igor Project, Ricochet Musica, Nelly, Anthony Probyn, Jemmy, Ed Mackie and James Dutton.

The IglooVision Arena – which first debuted at Glastonbury – features a panoramic graphic environment which will be specially adapted in real time to suit the mood and music of the performance.

Festivalgoers will be treated to a 360º video wall that comes alive, changing from underwater to flaming hot club scenes.

A Creamfields spokesman said: “This is as close to becoming Tron as you’ll ever get and an audio visual feast not to be missed.”

On Sunday IglooVision becomes the Residents Arena, which will see performances from some of the UK’s best loved resident DJs including H2t , Tim Owen, Adam Helliwell, Anton Powers, Thomas Tuft, Steve Parry, Sean Hughes, Lee Rands, Andy Woods and more.
