What is it?

One of the biggest dance and electronic outdoor events returns in 2009 over the August Bank Holiday weekend with an expected crowd of 40,000. With a selection of stages and tents including a massive Main Stage, Creamfields rightly holds the crowd for king of the dance festivals. Previous year's headliners have included The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Paul Van Dyk, Pendulum, Groove Aramda, The Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Faithless, Kasabian and Tiesto. This year fans were asked to submit their 'fantasy wishlist' of who they'd like to play the event so expect one of the best line-ups to date to be announced shortly. Tickets for the 2009 event have also been frozen at last year's prices so make sure you get yours now before they're all snapped up.
