Creamfields

Four days,

UK Bank Holiday weekend, Daresbury Estate in Cheshire — and Creamfields still somehow sells out in minutes every single year. It's been doing this since 1998, which in festival years is practically ancient, and the production has only gotten more absurd. The Arc stage alone is worth the trip: a structure so big and loud it's become one of the most iconic rooms in electronic music. British festival weather is what it is, but ravers in ponchos dancing in the mud is its own kind of beautiful.
