Creamfields has confirmed The Prodigy as the first headline act for its 2027 edition, marking the electronic dance festival's 30th anniversary. The announcement matters both for fans of the band, who will be making their first appearance at the festival in 14 years, and for the event itself, which is billing the performance as one of the defining moments of its milestone celebrations.

The festival will run from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 August 2027 in Daresbury, Cheshire, with The Prodigy topping the bill on the APEX stage on the Saturday night. It will be their first Creamfields set since 2013, and coincides with the 30th anniversary of their landmark album 'The Fat Of The Land'. Tickets are already on sale, with organisers promising further lineup announcements soon; this year's festival was headlined by Calvin Harris, Sonny Fodera, Swedish House Mafia and Disclosure.
