Creamfields on the move

off to a new site

Wednesday 22nd February 2006


Creamfields festival is set to move to a new site this year, having been at Old Liverpool Airfield in Speke for the last 7 years. As the land has been redeveloped, the available site for Creamfields has got smaller and smaller.

As a result, Creamfields is planning to relocate to part of the Daresbury estate in the borough of Halton for 2006. The greenfield site is in the heart of the Cheshire countryside surrounded by woodland with easy access from the motorway network.

Meetings have already taken place with Halton Borough Council, the police and the emergency services but organisers are keen to point out that event planning is still at an early stage. The licence application is expected to be submitted over the coming weeks.

James Barton, Chief Executive of Cream, says: “Creamfields is an internationally acclaimed event and over the last seven years has made a huge contribution to Liverpool’s cultural renaissance. A successful Creamfields will help promote Halton and demonstrate their willingness to deliver a major cultural event.”

More details about this year’s event will be announced soon, but The Prodigy have already revealed on their website that they're set to play this year.
