Creamfields have scooped the award for ‘Best Dance Event’ for a 2^nd year running in the UK Festival Awards which was held in London’s Indig02 on Thursday night.  

This is the fourth time Creamfields has won in the Best Dance Event category since the publicly voted awards were established in 2004.  The 2 day festival which takes place in Daresbury, Cheshire on August Bank Holiday weekend, sold out in record time for a second consecutive year with this award topping off what has been an outstanding year for Creamfields, which also saw the northern dance festival scoop the highly coveted Music Week Award for ‘Festival Of The Year’ beating off the likes of Glastonbury, V and Reading.  

On receiving the award Cream CEO James Barton said:“We are delighted to have won the award once again for Best Dance Festival, the fact that the UK Festival Awards are voted for by the public makes this win even sweeter.  Every year we set out to be better than the year before, and it’s great that people appreciate the festival and the hard work that goes into making it the best dance festival in the country”.
