Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Disclosure, and Underworld are among the dance music giants leading the bill for the 2026 Creamfields festival.

Crowds of thousands will return to Daresbury in Cheshire on the bank holiday weekend of 27 to 30 August for the four-day festival's 20th anniversary year.

More than 250 artists are on the bill, including Martin Garrix, Becky Hill, Carl Cox, Armand van Helden and many more.

The festival typically sees about 80,000 ravers descend on Halton, with organisers saying it "sets the gold standard for dance music events".

Organisers have also hinted that the could be some "very special secret sets" with more information to be revealed soon.
