Creamfields festival returns after two years this bank holiday weekend – here’s how the weather’s looking ahead of the event.

The festival, which takes place after the coronavirus pandemic forced its cancellation in 2020, takes place August 27-29 at Walton Hall in Warrington and has already sold out.

In the place of their regular event last summer, Creamfields held a virtual ‘house party edition’, which saw the broadcast over 40 of their favourite sets from throughout the festival’s history.

Creamfields 2021 will be headlined by the Chemical Brothers, while other names already on the bill for this summer include Bicep, Chase And Status, Deadmau5, Example, Nina Kraviz and Tiesto.
