The legendary house music pioneer Armand Van Helden has been announced as the latest superstar DJ to join the already colossal line-up for Creamfields 2026. The iconic summer dance festival is set to return to its legendary home at Daresbury Estate in Cheshire for the August Bank Holiday weekend.
A House Music Legend Takes The Stage
Organisers have confirmed that Armand Van Helden will be bringing his iconic sound to the Arc stage on what is being billed as Creamfields Sunday. He is famed for creating some of the most unforgettable club anthems in dance music history, including the massive hits 'U Don't Know Me' and 'My My My'.
Widely recognised as a key architect of the Speed Garage movement in the mid-1990s and a founding father of Fidget House, Van Helden's production style is instantly identifiable. His tracks are characterised by their aggressive, creatively chopped vocal samples and bold, often abrasive sampling techniques, promising an electrifying performance to close the festival for many attendees.
The Growing 2026 Roster
Van Helden joins an absolutely stellar list of electronic music heavyweights already confirmed for the huge summer party. The current roster of acts includes global sensations like Disclosure, Calvin Harris, and Swedish House Mafia.
The line-up also features iconic acts such as Underworld, Faithless, and Armin van Buuren, alongside cutting-edge talent like Amelie Lens presenting AURA, Sonny Fodera, and Ewan McVicar. Festival organisers have indicated that plenty more big names will be revealed in the months leading up to the event.
