Creamfields revealed that legendary Scottish artist Calvin Harris will headline the Arc Stage when the festival returns to Daresbury in 2026.


Creamfields has grown to become one of the biggest and brightest festivals on the planet over the past few decades. This year saw the festival continue that trend, bringing another larger-than-life edition to Daresbury that featured top-tier electronic artists across multiple stages, all backed by stunning production. Now, Creamfields is gearing up for a landmark edition in 2026 when it returns on the August Bank Holiday weekend (August 27-30).

Next year will call for a massive celebration for Creamfields as the festival will mark 20 years at its iconic home in Daresbury in style. The expansive grounds have featured countless legendary acts over the past two decades, making it fitting that the first headliner to be revealed will carry on with that tradition. Creamfields has looked to Calvin Harris to help kick off the party, with the beloved artist slated to headline the festival’s Arc Stage on Saturday night.

There are only a few artists who have captured the attention of those in the scene and well beyond its borders quite as Calvin Harris has over the years. Chart-topping hits like “We Found Love” with Rihanna, “One Kiss,” “Summer,” “Sweet Nothing,” “I’m Not Alone,” and more have become anthems for many dance music lovers and pop aficionados alike. Recent years have seen him shake things up with the country-influenced “SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY” while continuing to deliver anthemic tunes like “Blessings” with Clementine Douglas and “Ocean” with Jessie Reyez.

Calvin Harris is just the first of many acts to be announced for the upcoming edition of Creamfields, which plans to welcome 80,000 dance music lovers to Daresbury for four days of fun in the UK summer sun. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements to land in the coming months.

Single-day, two-day, three-day, and four-day Standard, Bronze, Silver, and Gold passes, with or without camping, are on sale now. Payment plans are available for all purchases. Head to the official website for more information on different pass types and to make your purchase.
