Creamfields confirms first headliner for 2027

Creamfields has confirmed The Prodigy as its first headliner for 2027.

Following this year’s sold-out crowd of 80,000, Creamfields returns for the August Bank Holiday weekend in 2027 to mark 30 years at the forefront of global electronic music.

Organisers have wasted little time getting the celebrations started, revealing its first headliner for the landmark edition with The Prodigy’s first return in 14 years.

One of the most influential and electrifying electronic acts of all time will headline APEX stage on Saturday, August 28, marking a long-awaited return to the festival.

For 35 years, Liam and Maxim have taken their blistering live shows to every corner of the globe.

Joined by long-standing live members Leo Crabtree on drums and Rob Holliday on guitar, they continue to push the boundaries of production and performance, combining retina-blasting visuals and soul-shaking bass with their legendary, no-holds-barred energy.

The Prodigy emerged from Britain’s underground rave scene before exploding onto the global stage, tearing down the boundaries between rave, electronic music and punk along the way.

With a catalogue of era-defining anthems including ‘Firestarter’, ‘Breathe’ and ‘Out of Space’, alongside their multi-platinum, genre-defining album ‘The Fat of the Land’, 2027 sees the 30th Anniversary of the iconic album coincide with Creamfields celebrating 30 years at the forefront of global electronic music.

Their return to Creamfields carries its own history. The band last performed at the festival in 2013. They return to unleash their legendary live show inside APEX, one of the world’s biggest indoor festival stages, for what promises to be one of the defining performances of the festival’s 30-year celebrations.
