In 1992 a new generation of clubbers was ignited by one club, Cream. No one would have expected that just five years on, Creamfields, the 'original' Dance Music Festival would be born.
On the 2nd May 1998 Creamfields took its place in the history books as 25,000 clubbers travelled from around the world to have the ultimate dance music experience. Going into 2008 we celebrate our 10th Anniversary and take a moment to look back into the history and memories of the original Dance Music Festival.
Soon we will be taking you on a nostalgic journey through the Creamfields story, the DJs, artists, fashion, photos, behind the scenes stories that you've never heard and the iconic artwork. So sign up to our mailing list and keep checking the website.
