One of the most exciting exclusives this year is Anyma, who will deliver a UK-only performance blending music with his stunning audiovisual art. Rising Scottish star Ewan McVicar is also poised for a career-defining moment as he closes the brand-new HALO stage: a 360-degree outdoor arena designed for total immersion. Across more than 30 stages, over 300 artists will represent every corner of the electronic spectrum, from trance and drum & bass to house, techno, and everything in between.

The sheer scale of the event, with its sprawling stages, dazzling light shows, and pyrotechnics, creates a sensory overload that festival-goers describe as unlike anything else in the UK. The Arc Stage, with its towering design and jaw-dropping production, remains the beating heart of the festival, while intimate arenas tucked away across the site ensure that even underground sounds get their moment to shine. The new Electric Forest stage, nestled in woodland-inspired décor, adds a fresh twist for 2025, offering ravers a chance to dance under the trees to world-class DJs.

Sustainability also remains on the agenda, with the Cleanfields initiative encouraging festival-goers to keep camps tidy and recycle responsibly. While the focus is squarely on the music, Creamfields continues to evolve into a more environmentally conscious event, ensuring its legacy for future generations of dance fans.

The announcement has now been followed by an official confirmation tweet by Creamfields which read: “Just Announced! @swedishousemfia confirmed for a SOLD OUT Creamfields North 2023, Sunday 27th August. #CreamfieldsNorth #Creamfields2023.” You can view the full post below.

The full line-up for 2023 Creamfields North is yet to be announced but the event is scheduled to take place in Daresbury, Cheshire between 24-27 August next year. Tickets are already completely sold out, making it the fastest-selling Creamfields on record. Swedish House Mafia’s return to Creamfields comes after their last performance at the festival in 2019.

The producer trio have remained busy since then and earlier this year they released their debut album Paradise Again featuring guest appearances from A$AP Rocky, Sting and many more. They are currently on the European leg of their world tour in support of the LP. During their San Fransisco show last month, Swedish House Mafia also previewed a new Alicia Keys-assisted single titled ‘Finally’ which is yet to be released. The track is actually a cover of the Kings of Tomorrow song of the same name, which featured the singer Julie McKnight.

Creamfields originally started in Cheshire in 1998 and is one of the most popular and well renowned open-air electronic music festivals in the world. The festival had a very successful sell out this year, which marked their 25-year celebrations and continues to deliver world class line ups and next level production, with a continuous growing loyal following and is set to be Swedish House Mafia’s biggest apperance yet. Tickets for the festival went on sale on September 29 and are available for purchase here and as previously stated while the full line-up is yet to be announced you can keep up to date over the Creamfields website.

Taking place during the June Bank Holiday weekend, from the 2nd to the 4th, Creamfields South will align with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Other headliners include Andy C, Patrick Topping, Maya Jane Coles, Pete Tong, Charlotte de Witte, Jamie Jones and Amelie Lens.

Additionally, Creamfields South will host Eric Prydz’ HOLO show. His last show of this kind in London, EPIC 5.0, held at Victoria Park, was a dizzying array of visuals and lasers, which came with the promise that it would “blow your head off”. It is hard to argue that he didn’t deliver on this promise, considering the footage taken from that event. The HOLO show will surely try to 1up his already high standards.

Taking over Hylands Park, Creamfields South in Chelmsford will host over 50,000 people, despite being shorter than its Northern counterpart in Daresby. The steelyard stage alone will hold 15,000, a stage purpose-built for Creamfields flagship festival and has previously hosted another massive Eric Prydz show. Creamfields has also gone further afield than England, holding events in  Chile, Ibiza, Abu Dhabi, Malta, and Argentina, as well as numerous others.

From their wesbite, Creamfields say of the upcoming festival: “Creamfields, one of the world’s biggest electronic promoters, have revealed plans for an all-new 50,000 capacity two-day camping festival in 2022 which will see them bring their award-winning festival South, taking over the stunning Grade II listed Hylands Park for Creamfields Chelmsford.

“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.

“Creamfields Chelmsford is an exciting new addition to the UK Festival calendar and for fans in particular who can expect an all-star line-up of dance music heavyweights to be announced.”

The festival released a statement regarding the postponement on Twitter: “We have been closely monitoring the global situation and it has become clear that it’s simply not possible for this year’s edition to go ahead.”

Creamfields thanked those who supported them and promised to “be back stronger than ever” next year. Read the full statement from the post below.
