The Prodigy to headline Creamfields 2027
The dance music festival Creamfields has announced The Prodigy as its first headline act.
The Prodigy have been confirmed as the first headline act for the 30th Creamfields Festival.
It has been 14 years since the band last played at the dance music event, which is taking place from Thursday 26 August to Sunday 29 August 2027, at Daresbury, near Runcorn.
Best known for their tracks Firestarter and Breathe, The Prodigy will take to the stage on the Saturday night and are expected to play songs from their catalogue spanning 35 years.
In a statement, Creamfields described the band as "one of the most influential and electrifying electronic acts of all time".
"The Prodigy continue to push the boundaries of production and performance, combining retina-blasting visuals and soul-shaking bass with their legendary, no-holds-barred energy," a spokesperson said.
"They emerged from Britain's underground rave scene before exploding onto the global stage, tearing down the boundaries between rave, electronic music and punk along the way."
The statement continued: "Three decades on, its influence and appetite for pushing electronic music forward remains as strong as ever."
Organisers also hinted that further acts would be announced soon.
