Every August bank holiday weekend, tens of thousands of dance music fans make the pilgrimage to Daresbury, Cheshire, for Creamfields, the UK's biggest and most iconic electronic music festival.

Whether you're heading to the fields in August or celebrating the Creamfields spirit from home, there's no better way to channel that energy than by building your own Creamfields-inspired Hitster pack. With Hitify, you can identify all the classic anthems that have rocked Creamfields over the decades and turn them into the ultimate music quiz card game.

What is Creamfields?

Creamfields was born out of Liverpool's legendary Cream nightclub, which throughout the 1990s became one of the most influential clubs in the world, attracting residencies from legends like Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, and John Digweed. In 1998, the club took its famous sound outdoors, launching Creamfields as a one-day festival. It was an instant hit.

Today, Creamfields UK takes place over the August bank holiday at Daresbury in Cheshire, just south of Warrington. With a capacity of over 70,000 per day across multiple stages, it's a four-day spectacle featuring the biggest names in electronic music: Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, and many more. There are also Creamfields events in South America, South Africa, and other territories, making it a truly global brand.

From progressive house to hardstyle, drum and bass to techno, Creamfields covers the full spectrum of electronic music, always with an emphasis on euphoric, crowd-connecting moments.

What is Hitster?

The closer you are to the right year, the more points you score.

With Hitify, you can build a completely custom Hitster pack filled with the songs you choose. Point your phone at a track, let Hitify identify it, and add it to your pack.
