Creamfields will host Calvin Harris' last UK performance of the year and tickets are still available (for now)

If you spent Saturday night glued to BBC iPlayer watching Calvin Harris’ homecoming shows in Scotland, you’re probably kicking yourself that you weren’t there in person.

The DJ packed out Hampden Park for two huge performances, reminding everyone why he’s still one of the biggest names in dance music.

If you’ve been left with a serious case of FOMO, all isn’t lost.

There is still an opportunity to catch Calvin Harris live in the UK before the year is out, and it comes as part of one of the country’s biggest dance festivals.

Ticketmaster and StubHub have limited resale ticket availability across selected Creamfields ticket types, including some four-day camping passes at the time of writing.

Not only will fans have a shot at seeing the hitmaker behind We Found Love, One Kiss and Sweet Nothing live on stage, but there’s an incredible lineup happening across the 4-day event to catch.

If you've been looking for an excuse to squeeze one more festival into your summer, this might be it.

What date is Creamfields 2026?

Creamfields returns to Daresbury, Cheshire for its 20th year, over the August Bank Holiday weekend, running from Thursday 27 August until Sunday 30 August.

Calvin Harris is due to headline Saturday 29 August, making it his final scheduled UK performance of 2026.

Even if you’re heading to the festival purely for Calvin, arriving earlier means you’ll get to experience everything that has turned Creamfields into one of Europe’s best-known electronic music festivals.

Across four days, multiple stages host everyone from global superstars to underground favourites, with production that rivals arena shows.

For anyone who's never been before, it's less about watching one artist and heading home.

The whole weekend has a reputation for huge headline sets, spectacular visuals and crowds who know every drop before it lands.

Who is playing Creamfields 2026?

Calvin Harris may be a headliner, but he’s far from the only reason people are making the trip to Cheshire this year.

Across the weekend, Creamfields has assembled one of its biggest line-ups yet, with confirmed performances from Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Disclosure, Fisher, Tiësto, Becky Hill, CamelPhat, Alesso, Armin van Buuren, Fatboy Slim and many more.

It's one of those line-ups where you'll almost certainly end up making difficult choices between clashes.

Is Creamfields 2026 sold out?

Not entirely.

Several ticket categories have already sold out, including standard Saturday day tickets, which isn't particularly surprising given Calvin Harris is headlining that day.

However, there is still limited availability across selected ticket types through resale tickets on Ticketmaster and StubHub, with some four-day camping passes remaining alongside a handful of other options at the time of writing.

Availability can change quickly as tickets continue to sell, so it's worth checking before making other plans.

How much are Creamfields tickets?

As the day tickets have now sold out, your options are largely limited to camping and weekend passes.

Exactly how much you'll pay depends on how long you want to stay and which ticket type you're after.

If you're planning to make a full weekend of it, four-day camping tickets are currently available on StubHub from £578.06, with Standard, Bronze and Silver options still listed.

Meanwhile, at the time of writing, Ticketmaster's verified resale platform has three-day camping tickets from £342.20, two-day camping tickets (Saturday and Sunday) from £259.60, and two-day non-camping tickets from £261.76 for anyone who'd rather head home at the end of the night.

As with any resale tickets, prices can fluctuate depending on demand, so it's worth checking the latest availability before you book.

Where is Creamfields held?

Creamfields takes place at Daresbury in Cheshire, roughly halfway between Liverpool and Manchester.

Thousands of people camp on site across the weekend, while others choose non-camping tickets and stay in nearby hotels before travelling to and from the festival each day.

The site itself is home to multiple indoor and outdoor stages, enormous production, fireworks, lasers and some of the biggest names in electronic music, attracting fans from across the UK and beyond every August Bank Holiday.

If watching Calvin Harris dominate Hampden Park this weekend left you wishing you'd been in the crowd, Creamfields offers one final chance to see him perform live in the UK this year.

Just don't leave it too late.

With day tickets already gone and remaining camping options showing limited availability, anyone hoping to end the summer with one more massive festival should keep a close eye on what's still available.
