Creamfields 2026 - Armin van Buuren Just Announced

Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields continues to raise the bar as it celebrates two decades at

its Daresbury home, with Dutch trance DJ/Producer Armin van Buuren confirmed as the first artist

announced for the 30,000 capacity Apex Stage on Saturday 29th August Bank Holiday weekend.

Few artists have defined dance music like Armin. Across an illustrious career, the Grammy-

nominated artist has become a global ambassador for the scene, topping the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs

a record-breaking five times, co-founding the world’s leading independent dance label Armada

Music, and uniting millions each week with his long-running radio show A State of Trance.

From sold-out arena tours to commanding the main stage at the world’s biggest festivals, Armin's

euphoric, high-energy sets have become the stuff of legend. This week, his impact on electronic

music was honoured with DJ Mag’s 2025 Outstanding Contribution Award, cementing his status

as one of the genre’s true pioneers.

A long-time Creamfields favourite, known for delivering unforgettable performances over the

years, he returns next summer after a two-year hiatus. With Calvin Harris, Sonny Fodera and

Underworld already announced, this first wave of acts signals the start of an unmissable

Creamfields 2026 with plenty more still to be announced.
