Swedish House Mafia have a long history with Creamfields, being part of its Cream club nights in the early 2000’s, and they played their first set at the festival in 2007. The last time they played at Creamfields was in 2023, playing the same Arc Stage they’ll be returning to this year.

Their 2019 set was deemed an iconic highlight, and especially memorable after the group caused £4 million worth of damage when dropping their Knife Party collaboration, ‘Antidote’. The amount of pyrotechnics used permanently damaged the stage’s LED screens.

American DJ Anyma was announced as the first headliner last month, set to close out the festival on the Sunday night (August 24).

Other acts confirmed on the Creamfields lineup include David Guetta, Chase & Status, Boris Brejcha, Eric Prydz, Sarah Landry, Fisher, Hardwell, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, Hannah Laing, Camelphat, Ewan McVicar, Jamie Jones, Duke Dumont, Patrick Topping, Eats Everything, Fatboy Slim, Josh Baker, Andy C, Gaskin, HorsegiirL, Sonny Fodera, Franky Wah, AZYR, Ben Hemsley, Ben Nicky, Martin Garrix, and Gorgon City. More acts will be announced soon.

This year’s festival will be a first for some fresh features – a new stage has been added, a 360° Halo “mega stage”. This new stage will be “a monumental 45 metre, diameter, cyclical outdoor arena with pioneering 360 and overhead video, lighting and sound”.

New areas/zones will also be introduced this year. One of these is ‘Downtown’, a sports, wellness and entertainment village which will give festivalgoers an opportunity to exercise and wind down with activities like five-a-side football, basketball, mini golf and rave karaoke.

Another area to be added will be ‘Freshfields’, described as an “on-site retreat offering premium facilities”. The wellness luxuries here will include saunas, hot tubs, both hot and ice-cold showers and proper bathrooms.

Creamfields 2025 will take place during the August Bank Holiday Weekend from August 21-24 in Daresbury, Cheshire. You can find tickets and more information on the official Creamfields website.

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.

Since then, Fred has shared new music featuring Swedish House Mafia and Future ‘Turn Out the Lights Again..’ and ‘I. Jordan (‘Admit It (U Don’t Want 2)’. His Boiler Room set in July 2022 received critical acclaim and fans have been long awaiting his follow-up. “I really truly really really wanna say thank you so so much for all of the love on this @boilerroomtv” he wrote on Instagram reflecting on the performance, “I can’t tell you how much it means.”

Before the release of the new album, he shared clips on his Instagram of him sharing songs from Actual Life 3 with fans at his shows and to strangers on trains via AirDrop and filming their reactions. “Okayyyy SO I am so so really very VERY happy to say that Actual Life 3 will be out on October 28th!!!!! You can pre-order it today and the first song is out nowwwww!!” he said on Instagram. The post also revealed he will be playing shows across Europe alongside a hometown gig at his “favourite venue ever”, Brixton Academy. Tickets go on sale on Friday 23rd September but fans can get early access to tickets if they pre-order the album from the official store before 2 pm on Wednesday 20th September. “I really really can’t wait”, he said.

Despite his debut album being released in 2021, Fred had received notable acclaim working as a producer for some of the biggest recording artists today. He worked with Ed Sheeran on his fourth studio album, No.6 Collaborations Project, and is credited with writing and/or producing 12 of 15 of the tracks. His credited songs collectively held 14 weeks at Number 1 in the charts. Prior to this, he co-wrote ‘Shotgun’ with George Ezra which also reached number one, and worked with Demi Lovato, Clean Bandit and Rita Ora. He went on to win Producer of the Year at the 2020 Brit Awards and he still continues to write and produce songs for artists including Ed Sheeran, Stormzy and AJ Tracey.

Swedish House Mafia, who reformed earlier this year, have been announced as the festivals first Sunday headliner. The Swedish house music group consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso formed way back in 2008 and then went their separate ways in 2013. However, now that they are back together they will certainly be one not to miss at Creamfields this year.

Speaking about their return Swedish House Mafia said: ‘The UK truly is our second home, whether it be at our very first Creamfields – or our last Milton Keynes Bowl, we want to bring it back to the festival. We’ve missed you guys and we can’t wait for festival season! See you at Creamfields.’

Deadmau5 will headline Friday night at Creamfields, he is a Canadian electronic music producer, DJ and musician. Deadmau5 produces a different variety of house styles within the progressive house genre and sometimes other forms of electronic music. First appearing at Creamfields back in 2008, he has since then been a regular at the festival and is always a fan favourite. In his shows he always uses a strong visual element which provides an extra hit to the senses on top of his exquisite performance.  Until Friday Barclaycard customers can get 10% back on every presale ticket that is purchased.

More acts are yet to be announced, but can be expected in the coming weeks and months. The festival which has been running for the past 20 years now, attracts more than 70,000 people per day and has seen the biggest names in the electronic dance and music scene. The likes of Tiesto, The Chainsmokers, Sigma and Annie Mac have all performed at the festival in the last few years and these headliners are going to be just as good.

Creamfields will return to Daresbury, Cheshire on Thursday 22 August until Sunday 25^th August 2019. With huge acts such as Deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia set to headline this will be sure to be an unforgettable show. General tickets will be on sale from Friday the 14^th December at 9am and you can purchase them here.

The trio, comprising of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello, emerged onstage from a dark background, to a baying crowd, before grabbing a mic, and announcing ”

“I am Axwell, I am Sebastian Ingrosso, and I am Steve Angelo,” the group said.

“And Miami, tonight we go by Swedish House Mafia.” you can check out the footage of their set below.

Fittingly, Ultra Festival was the site of the group’s initial final performance, back in 2013. The trio wasted no time, launching into a career-spanning set, featuring crowd favourites like ‘Save the World’, Greyhound’, and concluding with a pyrotechnic-enhanced rendition of ‘One.’

There had been rumours of a SHM reunion for some time, with the band’s logo appearing around the streets of Miami in the weeks prior. The group took to Twitter to confirm their return after the festival, simply stating ‘IT WAS TIME.’

Axwell had been fuelling rumours of a reunion since as far back as 2016, when he admitted to NME that he was open to the group returning to the stage and studio.

“I think we’re all in our happy places right now. Having said that it would be stupid of me to say never [to a reunion]” he said.

“Maybe one day something will happen inside of us that says ‘boom’. But it’s more [likely to be] coming from us than at a festival.”
