PLANS for a new 20,000-capacity stage have been revealed for this year’s Creamfields Music Festival.
The countdown is on for Creamfields North which is returning for another 70,000 ticket sell out on August Bank Holiday weekend.
Ahead of the big weekend, Cream HQ has announced the introduction of a new stage, Runway, presented by fashion brand SHEIN.
Lucid – whose expertise lies in stage design and bringing to life some of the largest and most visually exciting stages in the UK has created ‘Runway’.
The capacity outdoor venue is an imposing large-scale industrial structure dominated by a huge overhead video screen.
‘Enveloping’ fans by day, the structure then fades into the darkness as night falls, leaving the suspended visual spectacular to take over.
Taking festivalgoers through the weekend and providing the soundtrack to the stage´s first outing, is a wealth of DJs and some of Creamfields’ firm favourites.
Friday, Jamie Jones and his Paradise brand will be at the helm, featuring the likes of Loco Dice, Alan Fitzpatrick b2b with Richy Ahmed, Sosa and Alisha.
On Saturday, Patrick Topping makes his hosting debut with his Trick label, featuring a performance from the likes of Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing and DJ Minx, and the legend Skream.
Then finishing the weekend off on Sunday, is another hosting debut from Solid Grooves, with Michael Bibi and PAWSA joined by the likes of Seth Troxler, Hot Since 82, Wheats, Blackchild and Lindsey Matthews.
