The legendary house music icon, Armand Van Helden, has been officially confirmed as the latest superstar DJ to join the colossal Creamfields 2026 festival. This major announcement adds another heavyweight name to what is shaping up to be an unforgettable summer dance event.
A Stellar Addition to the Arc Stage
The organisers of the UK's premier dance festival have revealed that Armand Van Helden will be performing on the famous Arc stage on Creamfields Sunday. He will be sharing the spotlight with an already impressive roster of confirmed acts, including the likes of Disclosure and Calvin Harris. The festival is scheduled to take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, from August 27 to August 30, 2026, at its traditional home, the Daresbury Estate in Cheshire.
Celebrating a House Music Pioneer
Armand Van Helden is a true titan of the dance music scene, renowned for creating era-defining club anthems such as 'U Don't Know Me' and 'My My My'. His influence is profound, having been a key architect of the Speed Garage sound in the 1990s and later pioneering the Fidget House genre. His signature production style—featuring aggressive, chopped-up vocals and creatively abrasive samples—guarantees an electrifying and unique performance for festival-goers.
