Click Liverpool and Purple Revolver were your eyes and ears at Creamfields this summer... and what a festival it was.
We chatted to upcoming electro artist Uffie about balancing work and family and the ups and downs of being a woman in a male dominated industry, and caught up with Wigan born DJ Eddie Halliwell ahead of his amazing ED-IT set in the Cream tent.
Neil Barnes gave us an insight into the secrets of Leftfield's longevity in the dance arena while Dutch sensation Laidback Luke told us how he was humbled by the sheer volume of fans who turned out to see his latest tour.
And of course, our Creamfield's experience wouldn't have been complete without a word with man-of-the-moment, DJ David Guetta who was happy to sit down with us to talk festivals, fans and fetish footwear!
But it wasn't just the celebrities we had our eyes on last weekend.
Creamfields attracts the weird and wonderful to the downright wacky, all with as big a passion for fashion as for dance music. Click on the 'View the gallery' link to see all our fashion favourites...
Boho fashion has been a firm festival favourite since Sienna and Kate rocked Glastonbury with their denim hotpants and fringed waistcoats and the prairie girl look is still going strong.
Liverpool girls Tanya Murphy and Amy McCann, both 27, Carly Heston, 29, and Melissa carney, Jennifer Hewitson and Jodie Hodgekinson, all 21, nailed the trend with their mix of floaty dresses, flowery headbands and denim.
Boho hair was also a favourite for fellow Scousers Leah Henaghan, Janine Collins, Ashley Hewitt and Amy Kyffin, all 20, who embraced hippie chic with fringed waistcoats, printed kaftans and fabulous statement jewellery.
The boho look was topped off with some funky cowboy hats courtesy of Everton/Norris Green lovelies Jade and Lauren, both 22, 20-year-old Kate and Joanne, 28.
Neon brights were also a Creamfields staple with tonnes of luminous pinks, yellows and greens adorning the festival site.
South African James Stuart, 23, proved that 'anything goes' when it comes to festival fashion, teaming a pink, purple and black striped hoodie with an acid yellow tutu and sunglasses, topped off with a fleece-lined hunter hat!
And the neon didn't stop at clothes. Face-paint was all the rage with visitors from Singapore Stephanie, Mequitan and Adeline, all 23, sporting UV war paint while Scottish twosome Chris and "Poodle" went patriotic with their St Andrew's Cross design.
Tall, dark, handsome (and Australian!) Adam Tyler, 25, brother Jacob, 27, and friend Andrew Bhinda, 27, brought a touch of sophistication to the hospitality tent, turning up suited and wellington-booted complete with obligatory sunglasses.
Of course, Creamfields wouldn't be complete without the fancy dress lovers! We spotted all sorts of costumes, from Scooby Doo to Borat,
Ian Heaton, 26, from Manchester risked overheating in his Pink Panther get-up while 19-year-old Welsh boyos Rhys Coles and Adam Evans partied away in grass skirts and masks as festival Aztecs!
We also had no trouble spotting 'Where's Wally' as the red and white striped hats and t-shirts were dotted all over Daresbury, including 25-year-old John Barnard from Luton and friend Charlie.
The celebs didn't let us down in the fashion stakes either.
Eddie Halliwell was bang on trend with his 'double denim' combo of shirt and jeans (blue denim on Saturday, black on sunday), while Leftfield's Neil Barnes effortlessly ticked the rock and geek trends with a gothic inspired hoodie and large black rimmed glasses.
And finally, Click and P.Rev weren't going to let the side down so Natalie, Adam and Martin donned their wellies, parkas, stripey trousers, cardigans and sunglasses... all in the name of work of course...
See you there next year and, until then, check out our fantastic gallery.
