Liverpool-region's dance festival Creamfields returns for its 13th year this weekend as clubbers flock to Daresbury in Cheshire.

This year Creamfields have landed their greatest line-up yet.

Swedish DJ Avicii will headline the South Stage on the Saturday on his Creamfields debut.

Also taking the South Stage by storm will be one third of dance phenomenon's Swedish House Mafia, Sebastian Ingrosso.

The two will be joined by Alesso, Cazzette, Norman Doray and Syn Cole.

Veteran David Guetta will headline the North Stage on Saturday, preceded by singer Example, Afrojack, Nicky Romero and NERVO.

The Chemical Brothers will be spinning the decks on the Annie Mac presents... stage, straight after the woman herself.

Canadian electro pioneer deadmau5 will be making his last UK festival appearance of the year on the North Stage on the Sunday and will be joined by Calvin Harris, Radio One DJ Zane Lowe, Feed Me and Porter Robinson.

Around 55,000 music fans from across the UK and further a field are expected to attend the event in Daresbury.

A detailed traffic management plan has been produced by the organisers of the event - in consultation with Cheshire Police - to deal with the increased traffic coming into the area.

Sgt Rick Weaver, of Cheshire Police's Roads Policing Unit, said: "There will be thousands of people travelling into the area over the Bank Holiday weekend and this will once again test the traffic infrastructure to its limits.

"We are confident that the plan that is in place addresses any potential issues.

"The traffic plan has been designed to ensure that ticketholders can access and leave the site efficiently - by the most appropriate routes.

"It also aims to manage the likelihood of increased traffic in the area - for the benefit of local people who will need to maintain access to their homes and local businesses.

"The plan takes into account a number of factors - including the fact that extra people will be travelling into the area, the likelihood of any congestion on local roads and what plans are in place if there is a major incident on any roads."

The festival is now sold out. A full line-up is available at www.creamfields.com.
