Creamfields have just announced a fantastically packed line-up ahead of their 20th anniversary festival to be held in August.

Voted the UK's best dance music festival by the UK Festival Awards every year since 2004, they are unlikely to lose that crown with a line-up that includes the latest in chart success such as The Chainsmokers and Alesso to dance veterans FatBoy Slim and Faithless.

This will be the second year in a row that the festival has boasted a massive four days packed with acts such as Sigala, Sigma, Oliver Heldens and Galantis.

Creamfields starts on a Thursday night, but it is Friday 25th August when it steps up a gear.

Friday sees eight arenas open playing host to big names such as The Chainsmokers and Sigma and an exclusive festival performance with progressive house DJ deadmau5 and Eric Prydz in the infamous Steel Yard, which had its Creamfields debut last year.

The huge metal structure, which has a capacity of 20,000, has the ability to go 'on tour' and has already hosted former Swedish House Mafia members Axwell & Ingrosso in Liverpool and will be moved to London in May for a two-day event.

Saturday will see the two stages open in addition to the arenas with Oliver Heldens, Galantis, Diplo and BRIT nominee Stormzy who has just dropped a duet with Ed Sheeran.

Meanwhile Sunday will round off what is sure to be a packed weekend with Alesso, Martin Garrix, Disciples, Sigala and even Idris Elba, known for playing Luther in the TV series of the same name.
