Creamfields 2026 Celebrates 20 Years With Tiësto
Creamfields is going big for its 20th anniversary, and one of the weekend’s most talked-about moments is already locked in. The festival has confirmed the return of Tiësto, who will deliver an all-new sound inspired by his trance roots at Creamfields 2026.
The special performance is set for Sunday, August 30, during August Bank Holiday Weekend, and will mark Tiësto’s Steel Yard debut at the iconic Daresbury site in Cheshire, UK.
A Full-Circle Moment at Creamfields
For longtime dance music fans, this booking hits differently. Tiësto’s 2026 appearance promises a return to the melodic, trance-influenced sounds that helped define his early career—reframed through decades of evolution and experience. It’s a rare chance to hear a global icon revisit the foundations of his sound on one of the biggest stages in the world.
As one of the most influential figures in electronic music history, Tiësto has continuously reshaped the genre. A GRAMMY® Award-winning DJ and producer, he pioneered the modern Las Vegas DJ residency, became the first DJ to perform at the Olympic Games, and released era-defining records across three decades.
With career sales exceeding 40 million albums, over 30 billion global streams, eight Billboard Hot 100 hits, and multiple RIAA multiplatinum, platinum, and gold certifications, his legacy continues to grow. Being named “The Greatest DJ of All Time” only reinforces his impact.
A Landmark Steel Yard Set
Tiësto’s Steel Yard performance is expected to be one of the most immersive moments of the weekend—celebrating his roots while showcasing a renewed sonic direction. For Creamfields’ 20th birthday, it feels like the kind of full-circle booking that only comes once in a generation.
Creamfields 2026 Lineup Continues to Grow
Tiësto joins an already stacked Creamfields 2026 lineup featuring Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Disclosure, Faithless, Underworld, Armin van Buuren, Sonny Fodera, Amelie Lens, Ewan McVicar, Armand Van Helden, Chris Stussy, Josh Baker, Kettama, AZYR, Cloudy, Fantasm, Holy Priest, Jowi, Max Dean, Paige Tomlinson, and Novah, with many more artists still to be announced.
A Milestone Year for Creamfields
With over 80,000 dance music fans expected to make the annual pilgrimage to Daresbury from Thursday, August 27 through Sunday, August 30, Creamfields 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most memorable editions in the festival’s history—both a celebration of where it started and a statement about where it’s headed next.
