Well fairpay for findin' a fault in it!.. I can't see it for anythin less than an entire wknd of amazin' music for £100. Even if the tents were tailor-made for my taste I can guarantee I'd still miss someone I really want to see.. maybe that's just me? But last yr I was havin such a good time in each tent I was forgettin there was anythin else happenin, I just float along with my mates, they need to be more on th ball than me!

I have been to 8 creamfields and prefered it before it moved to daresbury, when it was a one off night going on till 6 am rather than spread over 2 days. I was hoping that was going to be a one off with last year being the 10th bday one but it seems to be the norm now, i know quite a few people who don't want to go now. It may not help that i have been to most of the events since it started but for me the event has got worse not better apart from their being a few less scallies at daresbury.

Hi Ryder, sorry you feel that way. We loved the one day show, but felt that going 2 days was the next progression for the festival, and from our research it was what most of our punters where asking for. We feel that the festival has definitely developed for the best and we love the new site. It also allows more people to come from further a field being a weekend camping festival.

There are day tickets available if you just want to party for the one day, it's a shame that we've lost you after such a long time of coming to our events. Hopefully in another couple of years we can bring you a line up and festival that will bring you back.


I was doing this at Bestival so much last year that I had to go and see half the bands & DJs at events after the festival as I had missed so much! Glad you're looking forward to it!

I love it now it's 2 days. Great feeling leaving the site on Sat night/Sun morning knowing you get to do it all over again after a few hours sleep!!

Also don't understand how anyone can think the lineup isn't great. There's plenty there and I love wandering around randomly not even knowing (or caring!!) who's on where and just finding something that sounds cool. Great way to get into new stuff and meet new people!!

This will be Creamfields number 9 for me and i'm hoping there'll be a few more before I hang up my proverbial glosticks!!

Obviously from a commercial pint of view its is alot better for cream and imo alot better for alot of more general clubbers. You have to try and please the many rather than the few but i just don't see why people would like something to finish at 4am on the sat and 11 on the sunday, i would much more likely go if it was from friday to saturday giving people the sunday to recover if they have work on the monday and that way you could have the two late nights instead of one.
The two main rooms i would most want to see are on seperate days (ape and goodgrief) so the one day ticket aint really an option, i probably would have gone on just the saturday like last year if they had been on the same day.

I think the line up is amazing. I'm into hard dance mainly and went to tidy tent last year and, to be honest, regretted it. It's not because it was rubbish but because I'd seen all the djs before and wish I'd spent my time seeing acts I hadn't before and the Saturday line up this year will most definitely force me (in a good way!) to do that.
Nevertheless you can't please everyone and if people don't like it then don't go, simple, stop moaning! x

I was all for doing creamfields this yr, as every yr i attend either global or creamfields, sometimes both.
But seeing global line up this yr i decided to give that a miss, that lineup isnt all that great to be honest, but the sunday line up at creamfields is 10 times better that the saturday, so i was up for this, but couldnt find any sunday travel only, looked at the obvious sites. So now i have booked my travel and ticket for frantic 12th bday.

Gutted i couldnt attend the sunday event as that would have rocked,but think frantic will do a very good job.

Have a good un donna.

That's the beauty of it being on a bank holiday :) I don't even need to book the Monday off work... perfect!

I've got the whole of the following week off!!

I also meant for the licensing laws because it closes early on the sunday if it was friday saturday they could have two all nighters.

That's not how the licenses work unfortunately....

So is it just daresbury then becuase many other festivals seem to have late nights.

It's ALL about the 2 day camping at Creamfields. Last year was absolutely amazing, and this year will be too!

Different Councils have different regulations and the 2 day event has only just started in recent years so Cream effectively had to take what they could get. Maybe once a few events have gone off well without too many problems things will change. In the meantime you either go or you don't. Simple. As I said before, the hours suit me and many others feel the same. I remember the early days of Clubbing when it pretty much all went dead at 2 and you had to make your own entertainment and it was great!!

I would have liked some trance or hard dance on the saturday, aside from Tiesto. Sunday looks mint though, well excited. Can't wait for it :D
