The superstar house DJ is the latest name to be confirmed ahead of next year’s huge summer party at Daresbury Estate.

  • Creamfields have announced their latest big-name set to perform at Daresbury Estate next August Bank Holiday.

The UK’s biggest dance party, Creamfields, has been a festival we’ve covered in previous years, and with the line-up starting to shape up shortly before Christmas, we’d be remiss not to bring dance fans up to speed with next year’s line-up.

Taking place once again at Daresbury Estate in Cheshire, the hallowed festival has recently announced the latest name set to perform across the August Bank Holiday weekend; the legendary house DJ, Armand Van Helden.

Known for such iconic club ‘bangers’ such as ‘U Don’t Know Me’ and ‘My My My,’ Van Helden is often credited as one of the key figures who developed the Speed Garage sound in the mid-90s and later became a founder of Fidget House.

With a production style instantly recognisable, characterised by aggressive, chopped-up vocals, creative and often abrasive sampling, he is set to perform on the Arc stage on Creamfields Sunday - a perfect option to end your experience next year.

He joins an already massive line-up of acts confirmed, including Disclosure, Calvin Harris, Amelie Lens and more, with plenty of names set to be revealed in the lead-up to the huge summer festival outing in 2026.
