Creamfields 2026 – The Return Of Faithless
Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields is going all out for its 20-year celebration at Daresbury, and its latest announcement is guaranteed to send a ripple of excitement through the dance community. Electronic icons Faithless are set to make their first live performance at Creamfields in over 20 years, taking over the legendary Steel Yard on Sunday 30th August Bank Holiday weekend 2026.
Few acts have left a mark on electronic music quite like Faithless. With a career spanning nearly three decades, the group has shaped the sound and soul of global dance culture. From era-defining anthems like Insomnia, God Is a DJ and We Come 1, to a catalogue boasting ten Top 10 singles, six Top 5 albums (including three No.1s) and the four-times platinum Forever Faithless – The Greatest Hits, their influence remains unmatched.
After releasing Faithless 2.0 in 2015, a greatest hits-slash-remix project featuring Avicii, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Claptone, the band stepped back from touring. While they’ve delivered DJ sets over the years, this marks their first full Faithless Live performance at Creamfields in over two decades, making it a defining moment for both the band and the festival.
The return of Faithless Live carries deep emotional resonance. Following the passing of frontman Maxi Jazz in 2022, the outpouring of love from fans around the world was a powerful reminder of the impact his words, voice and spirit had on generations of ravers. While Maxi’s presence will always be missed, Sister Bliss and Rollo now lead the project with renewed purpose, their 2024 album Champion Sound marking both a celebration of their roots and the beginning of a bold new chapter. Their 2026 live show promises to be a vibrant, euphoric homage to the genre they helped define and a heartfelt tribute to the man who made millions dance as one.
As Creamfields gears up for another historic weekend, Faithless join a powerhouse lineup featuring Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Underworld, Armin van Buuren, Disclosure, Sonny Fodera, Amelie Lens and Ewan McVicar, among others. With 80,000 festival-goers set to descend on Daresbury from Thursday 27th – Sunday 30th August 2026, this milestone edition is shaping up to be a defining moment, bridging dance music’s golden past with its electrifying future.
