Creamfields UK announces Carl Cox

Creamfields, has revealed its first headline act for 2018.

Having celebrated 20 years this year, they return on August Bank Holiday from Thursday 23^rd to Sunday 26^th August at Daresbury in Cheshire. What began as a 25,000 capacity one day show has turned into the four day ‘go to’ festival for electronic music fans, attracting sell-out crowds of 70,000 each year.

As we mentioned at the top, they’ve announced Carl Cox, who after a decade away, returns to host and curate his own ‘Intec’ stage on Friday night and there is no stage better suited for the big man himself than the Steel Yard!

Undoubtedly one of the best known, best loved and most recognised DJ’s on the planet, he has been at the forefront of his field for over 30 years, even winning our Top DJ Poll in 2016. As the pioneering champion of the techno scene there are few who can match this man’s staying power, his carefully curated Ibiza residency broke records and boundaries with its forward thinking line ups and state of the art production all of which he will be bringing for what has to be one of the most long awaited returns in Creamfields history.

The rest of the line-up is expected to be announced in February but tickets on sale now www.creamfields.com

A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
