Creamfields announces The Prodigy as first 2027 headliner
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.

Creamfields is one of the UK's biggest electronic dance music festivals, held annually in Daresbury, Cheshire, and known for bringing together major names in dance and electronic music across multiple stages over a long weekend. The Prodigy are a British electronic band formed in the early 1990s, best known for high-energy tracks and albums such as 'The Fat Of The Land', and for helping bring electronic music to mainstream audiences.
Each year Creamfields builds its lineup gradually, revealing headline acts over many months, so an early announcement like this one is a way of generating excitement and setting the tone for the festival ahead. Past headliners have included major electronic and dance acts such as Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia and Disclosure, giving a sense of the scale and calibre of performers the festival typically attracts.
This particular booking carries extra significance because it falls in Creamfields' 30th anniversary year, a milestone that organisers are keen to mark with notable acts and moments. It also matters to fans of The Prodigy specifically, since live performances from the band at this festival have been infrequent in recent years.
