Creamfields who are celebrating their 10th anniversary with a two day event over the weekend of Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August (the August Bank Holiday weekend) have confirmed they will be using special sound proofing curtains in some arenas to keep the noise spill down outside the tents.

Creamfields are working with sound expert Jim Griffiths from Independent Acoustic Company, Vanguardia, to sound proof some of the arenas. Jim Griffiths who has previously worked with festivals including Glastonbury and Reading says, "The sound proofing material has been assessed by our company and it will enable higher sound levels to be established in the venue whilst minimizing the impact outside."

The draping in the arenas will absorb more sound within the tent which will prevent much of the noise and vibration escaping into the outside space. By using the soundproofing drapes Creamfields are hoping to be able to have higher volumes inside the tent than in previous years and still cut down on sound pollution from the arenas.

Last year Creamfields installed the Funktion One Soundsystem, which delivered a better quality aural experience for festival goers.

They artists playing over the weekend that includes Kasabian, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, Ian Brown, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Nick Warren, Eric Prydz, John Digweed, James Zabiela, Soulwax, Pendulum, Gossip, Simian Mobile Disco, Chic Featuring Nile Rogers, Roots Manuva, Erick Morillo, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, David Guetta, 2many DJ’s, Ferry Corsten, Pete Tong, Dubfire, Eddie Halliwell, Hernan Cattaneo, Felix Da Housecat, Steve Angello, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Annie Mac, Claude Von Stroke, Danny Howells, Judge Jules, and many more.

As this year Creamfields celebrates ten years the event has been spread over two days for the first time and will host speciality camping where party goers can take a break from the party in tipis, beach huts and even solar powered pod pads in the stunning surroundings of Daresbury Estate, Halton, Cheshire.
