Who's headlining?

If you're undecided about whether your body and brain can take another Creamfields, then perhaps the first revealed headliner might convince you.

Commenting on his return, Armin said: "I'm excited to be back at Creamfields in 2020, having performed at the festival many times over the years and watching it grow into the show it's become today, it's always a special one for me. This year I'll be headlining the South Stage on Saturday 29th August and look forward to seeing you all there"


Renowned for delivering one of the biggest dance festival line ups of the year, this is the first of a number of big-name music artist announcements expected over the coming months.
