RAIN won't stop play at this year's Creamfields after a half-million quid investment to ensure the event isn't a wash-out.
The Cheshire electronic music festival of choice was cancelled last August when the site, at Daresbury, became a scary mudbath too much.
However, Cream's new corporate daddy, Live Nation, is determined it won't happen again, and funds have became available to make sure the grass stays greener.
There is also, presumably, dosh to pay for the mammoth list of acts, just unveiled for it's 15th anniversary year.
All the big hitters are set to appear at the three day event including, Tiesto, David Guetta, Sebastian, Avicii and The Prodigy’s only UK performance this year.
Creamfields’ ‘first lady’ Annie Mac has roped in some of the most exciting acts for the stand out Annie Mac Present Arena line-up. The Arena will be home to the likes of BBC Sound of 2013 nominated act Aluna George, producer of the moment Julio Bashmore and Eats Everything alongside rising stars Toddla T Sound, Monki and now infamous Harlem Shaker Baauer.
The festival takes place across 23/24/25 August with tickets ranging from £65 for a day ticket to £145 for a standard weekend camping ticket. More information can be found at their website.
