Festival Crowd Header

It’s a new year, which means new announcements for Creamfields as they reveal their first Friday headliner – The Chainsmokers, the Grammy award winning duo return to headline the Arc stage for a UK Festival Exclusive.

Since bounding onto the scene in 2013, The Chainsmokers have gone on to achieve the rare feat of success as both electronic and mainstream artists. Delivering performances full of energy and drama from start to finish, their DJ’ing prowess shows a duo who may have topped charts worldwide, but still know how to work an electronic music festival. Expect massive drops, plenty of huge production and a capacity crowd, all set in the mind-blowing surround of the Arc Stage.

The Chainsmokers are the latest act to be announced for the award-winning UK festival which returns to Daresbury in Cheshire, UK on August Bank Holiday weekend. Joining them so far are Armin van Buuren, Pendulum TRINITY and Camelphat, with plenty more to be announced in the coming weeks.

To coincide with the announcement tickets for Creamfields UK 2020 have been taken off sale for 48 hours and are only available to Barclaycard customers who can take advantage of 10% off when purchasing a ticket. General tickets go back on sale at 9am (GMT) on Friday 17th January.
