Where is Creamfields 2021? location, lineup, date, tickets, camping options - and will there be Covid rules

After thousands missed out last year, Creamfields is back for 2021 and the lineup is mind blowing.

The music festival is the perfect end to a summer when normality resumed slowly but surely across England, with 50,000 revellers now permitted at outdoor venues and events.

However, the UK government has alluded to restrictions being introduced to prevent people who have not been vaccinated from attending mass-attended events.

So, what does this mean for Creamfields and what can festival-goers look forward to? This is what you need to know.

When is Creamfields 2021?

Creamfields will take place across four days, from Thursday 26 August until Sunday 29 August in 2021.

Where is Creamfields 2021?

The festival is held in Daresbury, in the Cheshire countryside and can be easily reached by car, train or bus.

There are also shuttle buses to take festival-goers to the campsite, from main train stations in and around Liverpool and Manchester.

Who is headlining?

Over 300 artists will be performing across the four-day weekend, though not all have been revealed.

Confirmed artists Chase and Status, Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Pete Tong and Alesso are sure to be crowd pleasers.

Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Adam Beyer, Tiësto and deadmau5 have also been secured.

The festival features world-renowned and up and coming House, Trance, Techno, Electronic and EDM artists.

Where can I buy tickets?

All tickets for the weekend are now SOLD OUT.

Tickets had been on sale since the beginning of the year, with day and full-weekend tickets available.

There are still camping options available for the Dreamfields luxury huts, tents and cabins, you must also have a ticket to gain access to the camping areas.

Will there be Covid restrictions in place?

Coronavirus restrictions will be adhered to, in line with the festival’s strict entry requirements.

In order to gain entry to the festival, all ticket holders must also provide proof of a negative NHS lateral flow test taken prior to travel on the day of arrival at the festival or proof of full vaccination.

Those with a full vaccination, two doses of the jab, will have to have received their second more than a fortnight before the event. This means if you received your vaccine after 13th August, you must also provide a negative test.

The final option is to provide proof of natural immunity based upon a positive PCR test within 180 days of the festival.

Revellers who reside in England can use the NHS Covid app to show their vaccine passport. Creamfields’ organisers suggest printing it off or screenshotting so as to have it readily available.

Scottish ticket holders will need to apply for a paper copy of their vaccine passport, which could take up to five working days to arrive at your address.

For those who are attending across several days but have purchased accommodation offsite, you will need to prove you meet the Covid requirements each day. A negative test taken is valid for 72 hours from when you receive the results.

Facemasks will not be required at any area of the festival.
