Creamfields music festival in Cheshire promises to be better than ever in 2011

Mar 10 2011 Chester Chronicle

Creamfields boasts it will be bigger, better and bolder than ever when it returns to Daresbury on the bank holiday weekend of August 27-28.

The event sold out in record time last year and attracted record numbers.

Headlining the North Stage on the Saturday will be The Chemical Brothers.

The festival will be their last outdoor show in the UK this year and back by demand is Tiësto, voted the ‘Greatest DJ of All Time’ by Mixmag readers and attracting a crowd of more than 30,000 last year.

Grammy-nominated Paul van Dyk also returns exclusively to host his own Evolution Arena.

Sunday will feature dance titans David Guetta and the Swedish House Mafia, whose performance in 2010 was voted BBC Radio 1’s ‘Essential Mix of the Year’.

They return to Creamfields to host their own arena for the third year running, this time in a new, bigger structure to accommodate the masses who couldn’t get in last year.

David Guetta was last year voted the world’s number one DJ by DJ Mag.

Cream has introduced two new outdoor stages, to house the many headline acts performing.

They have also introduced new arenas, including one of 2010’s biggest artists, Laidback Luke, who will be bringing his Super You and Me party, as he hosts his own arena – fancy dress essential!

Steve Angello debuts his own Size Matters Arena on the Saturday and returns on Sunday under his Swedish House Mafia moniker.

Techno fans will be pleased to see the return of the Mixmag Presents Cocoon Arena.

Sven Väth, who celebrates 30 years on the decks this year, will be joined by some of the biggest forces in techno, including Marco Carola and Josh Wink.

Other arena hosts include Swedish DJ/producer Eric Prydz, who returns with his peers and label mates to host the Pryda Friends Arena for the second year running.
