Creamfields names The Prodigy as first headliner for 30th anniversary in 2027

The Prodigy confirmed as Creamfields 2027's first headliner

Creamfields has revealed The Prodigy as the first headliner for its 2027 edition, marking the festival's 30th anniversary. Organisers confirmed the booking on 11 September, with the band set to close the APEX stage on Saturday 28 August 2027 at Daresbury, Cheshire. The wider festival will run Thursday 26 August through Sunday 29 August.

A 14-year return to the festival

The headline slot will be The Prodigy's first Creamfields appearance since 2013, ending a 14-year absence from the event. Coverage notes that the band have toured and headlined festivals globally since their last Daresbury set, with a sold-out UK "Warrior's Dance" run earlier in 2026 supporting their current activity. The 2027 date falls within a wider push tied to the 30th anniversary of the group's 1997 album *The Fat of the Land*, aligning the band's milestone with Creamfields' own.

Lineup, tickets and the milestone framing

The Prodigy are scheduled to perform inside APEX, described in festival materials as one of the world's largest indoor festival stages. Creamfields said additional lineup announcements for 2027 are "incoming," with tickets already on sale. The first-headliner reveal comes shortly after Creamfields 2026, which organisers said drew 80,000 fans per day to Daresbury for a sold-out weekend, and is being positioned as the opening move in a year of anniversary programming.

Follow-up signals

Organisers have indicated further Creamfields 2027 headliner and lineup announcements are expected in the coming months, with no specific date given. The Prodigy are separately due to play their first New York show in 17 years later in September 2026.
