Pepsi MAX presents Creamfields 2026 has arrived, marking 20 years of the UK’s pioneering electronic dance music festival at Daresbury. Over 80,000 fans descend on the Cheshire site across Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 August, and for anyone without a ticket, Cream and Beatport have joined forces to broadcast a huge live stream throughout the weekend.
The stream kicks off on Friday 28 August at 3pm BST and runs through to Sunday night, spanning four stages: ARC, APEX with Capital Dance, Steel Yard and HALO. Coverage covers Friday 3pm-11pm, Saturday 2pm-4am and Sunday 12pm-11pm, giving dance fans back-to-back headline sets across the anniversary weekend.
Notably, Beatport, the world’s largest digital platform store for DJs and producers, hosts the broadcast. Powerhouse performances come from Eric Prydz, Fisher, Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, Disclosure (Live), CamelPhat, Becky Hill, Pete Tong, Gorgon City, Duke Dumont, Armand Van Helden, Danny Howard, Franky Wah, Eli Brown, KETTAMA, Ben Hemsley, Jazzy, Chelina Manuhutu, D.O.D and many more.
Meanwhile, the 20th anniversary edition follows a headline-heavy build-up. Earlier this week, Eric Prydz stepped in for John Summit on APEX Friday as very special guest, one of many big-name adjustments across the weekend. Beyond that, Creamfields celebrates two decades at Daresbury with an all-star bill spanning house, techno, trance, drum and bass and everything in between.
Crucially, the live stream drops the festival right into your living room. Tune in via creamfields.com/live for the full weekend of coverage, and check the full lineup and set times on the official Creamfields website. In turn, the stream gives global fans a front-row seat to one of dance music’s biggest UK moments of the summer.
