With the iconic Hylands villa as its backdrop, the multi-stage festival will also give fans the chance to experience the colossal 15,000 capacity Steel Yard superstructure is scheduled to take place on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th June Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, which has been moved to a four-day weekend next year to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  

The launch of Creamfields Chelmsford is a game changer for the UK festival landscape and coincides with the 25 year celebrations of its award winning sister festival in Daresbury, which is staged annually in the heart of the Cheshire countryside and attracts sell out audiences of 70,000.

Creamfields 2015 Review

by

This August Bank Holiday Weekend 2015 I returned to Creamfields for the first time in over a decade to see the “cream” of international DJs perform to tens of thousands of revellers a day.

I arrived fashionably late on the Friday evening and was pleased to see the hospitality campsite still had plenty of space for me to pitch my tent.

I soon made my way out into the festival arena.  Not every arena was open on the Friday but the ones that were were very busy.

Rebel Sound (also known as David Rodigan, Chase & Status, Shy FX and MC Rage) headlined one of the numerous big top arenas that night.  The predominantly young and very lively crowd lapped up the old skool jungle vibes.

Over in the Mega Arena trance God Armin Van Buuren headlined with his first set of the weekend (he was playing on Saturday too).  He played a mix of new and old tracks, closing the night with his new tune featuring Mr Probz, Another You.

Saturday for me was all about the Chemical Brothers, in my opinion the greatest live dance act on the circuit.  They headlined the North Stage with a sound and vision extravaganza featuring amongst other things a giant robot and big bouncy balls.

Earlier in the day I’d spent some time in the Smirnoff House for Ben Pearce’s disco set which included Todd Terje’s Inspector Norse.  Mistajam played a garage classics set and the young ravers enjoyed being up close and personal with the Radio 1Xtra star.  A party set from him followed which started with Ghostbusters (yes really!).

The highlight of Sunday for me came very early when I, a few hundred others and Fatboy Slim met up at the South Stage at 9am.  We were all given black caps and rain ponchos and were instructed to lie on the pre-drawn white lines on the grass in the shape of a smiley face in an attempt to break a UK record.  Now this might sound like an easy task but when you take into account that most of the group were a little worse for wear and hadn’t been to sleep all night you might get an idea of what really went down.

Fatboy Slim was extremely friendly and hung around for photos, hugs and kisses with anyone who wanted them after the helicopter had passed overhead to take photos.  It was a lot of fun and well worth getting up early for.

Sunday ended up as clash central for me with legendary DJs in almost every tent including Paul Oakenfold, Sasha and Paul Van Dyk.  Along with the slightly older DJs came the slightly older crowd.

The Pepsi Max Arena on the Sunday became the trance tent where Ferry Corsten pleased the arms aloft crowd with gems such as Rank 1’s Airwave.

It was a tough choice deciding which DJ to end the festival with with big names such as Axwell and Ingrosso, Hardwell, Fatboy Slim and Tiesto all playing at the same time.

Fatboy Slim played a crowd pleasing set which was slightly more commercial than the set I’d seen him play at Bugged Out Weekender earlier this year.  This suited the Creamfields crowd well as they stomped along to favourites such as Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat.

Over on the South Stage Tiesto headlined with big tunes including the infamous Adagio for Strings.

When 11pm came around it was time for the fireworks and the last tunes to ring out.  The young ravers were sad it was all coming to an end but were already making plans for next year.

Creamfields 2015 announce more acts and a new arena

by

First up is 3 Are Legend aka Dimitri Vegas, Steve Aoki and Like Mike.   Following their spine tingling Friday night headline performance last year this triple threat super-group which was organically born at Creamfields return on Sunday 30th August to take their electrifying live show to the next level. Commenting on their return “We’re so pleased to be back at Creamfields, it’s a unique festival and the place where the idea for 3 Are Legend was born!  Last year was off the scale, the crowd, the energy and the atmosphere is like nothing else and we can’t wait to be back in the thick of it”. 

Following overwhelming demand from fans Protocol Recordings chief Nicky Romero joins the line-up, celebrated the world over for countless chart topping records and his electrifying performances this Dutch DJ/Producer has carved himself an international reputation as one of the most exciting and industrious artists of his generation.   Another new addition to the already monstrous line up is one of the house scenes most influential forces Fedde Le Grand, with solo success from club anthems such as ‘Put your hands up for Detroit’ catapulting him to global stardom, other tracks from his repertoire such as ‘The Creeps’ and ‘Let Me Think About It’ prove his powerhouse versatility in the global dance arena.   Other acts joining the bill include Bontan, Jack Eye Jones, Eli & Fur, North Base, Sem Vox, and Zawdi MC.

As if all of that doesn’t whet your appetite Creamfields welcomes an all new arena, following their ambitious debut at the world’s largest club Privilege in Ibiza a couple of years ago and their huge sell out show in Manchester last month, global party trailblazersDon’t Let Daddy Know will be hosting their own arena for this very special UK festival debut headlined by Nicky Romero.  Famed for their off the scale production and mayhem, their attention to detail has catapulted the DLDK clubbing experience to the next level and taken the world by storm staging events from Amsterdam, Antwerp and beyond.  Sunday 30th August sees them rolling their party wagon into town, the perfect taster ahead of a very special as yet unannounced show coming to the UK in 2016!
