As the height of summer draws near, the fields of Daresbury are once again preparing to awaken with the thunder of bass, lasers, and pure euphoria. Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields returns August 21-24, and 2025 promises not just another legendary weekend, but a brand-new era of the iconic dance music institution.

From its humble beginnings as a Liverpool club night called Cream in the early ‘90s to its current form as one of the biggest electronic festivals in the world, Creamfields has never stopped evolving. This year, they’re raising the bar once more with the debut of new immersive stage designs, wellness and entertainment zones, and the much-anticipated Forest– a woodland stage wrapped in nature and futuristic production, destined to be a fan favorite. Add the cutting-edge HALO arena and the fun-filled Downtown village to the mix, and you've got a multi-sensory playground unlike any other.

But at its core, it’s still all about the music, and with 2025’s lineup being packed with many of the biggest names in global dance music, the only question left is how to fit it all in. Here are just a few that I'm most excited about:

Chase & Status have long stood at the intersection of underground credibility and mainstream impact. From their breakthrough with “End Credits” featuring Plan B, which earned them a BRIT nomination and signaled their transition into the UK mainstream, to platinum-selling albums like "No More Idols" and "Brand New Machine", the duo have consistently pushed the boundaries of bass music. Their collaborative roster reads like a who’s who of modern UK music: Tinie Tempah, Kano, Tempa T, Craig David, Becky Hill, Stormzy, and even Sam Fender, showing a rare ability to move between genres while maintaining their core identity. Whether blending gritty jungle rhythms with grime vocals or layering soulful hooks over thunderous breaks, Chase & Status create tracks that hit hard both on the dancefloor and in the charts. Their BRIT Award win in 2024 for Producer of the Year was a long-overdue recognition of a catalogue built on innovation, cultural influence, and anthems. With recent hits like “Baddadan” and “BACKBONE” still in heavy rotation and a third wave of critical acclaim following "2 Ruff Vol. 1", their upcoming set at Creamfields is sure to be one of the most anticipated of the weekend.

Making their long-awaited return are Swedish House Mafia, the titans of big-room house whose legacy includes arena tours, GRAMMY nominations, and timeless anthems like “Don’t You Worry Child” and “Save The World.” Known for their bombastic, cinematic sound and visually mind-blowing performances, the trio’s recent collab with Fred again.. “Turn On The Lights” proved they still have the magic. With stadium-sized hooks and emotional builds, their Creamfields set is guaranteed to be a euphoric, hands-in-the-air mainstage moment.

If you’re craving a deeper, more melodic journey, look no further than CamelPhat. The Grammy-nominated Liverpool duo are at the top of their game, balancing their grassroot origins with massive crossover success. From their early breakout “Cola” to their releases on Afterlife and their own label When Stars Align, CamelPhat consistently deliver progressive house with depth and finesse. With a third album on the horizon and a stacked global tour including Pacha Ibiza and The Sphere, their Creamfields return feels especially exciting this year.

Also representing the Afterlife universe and making his UK festival debut is Anyma, whose solo project is pushing the boundaries of what a live electronic set can be. Known for blending melodic techno with striking, AI-powered visuals, Anyma’s sets are immersive, distinct, and jaw-droppingly surreal. If you want to witness the future of electronic performance, where art, storytelling, and music collide, don’t skip his set, as it is the only UK festival where fans will be able to see him perform.

If you're in the mood for something truly out of the ordinary, prepare for horsegiirL, the glitter-covered phenomenon that blends hardcore, Eurotrance, and rural absurdity into something weirdly wonderful. With viral hits like “My Barn My Rules” and “Obsessed” (produced by A.G. Cook), she’s turned satire into sincerity and built a cult following of “farmies” who are as obsessed with the fantasy as they are with the fun. Expect unfiltered energy, and a performance that’ll leave you smiling, confused, and ready to rave.

With Creamfields entering a new chapter, 2025 is shaping up to be the most exciting edition yet. Whether you’re tearing it up in the Forest, cooling off at Freshfields, vibing out to CamelPhat, or galloping with horsegiirL, Creamfields has one of the best lineups this year in the UK festival scene.
