Creamfields announce Sonny Fodera as second 2026 headliner

Creamfields has announced Sonny Fodera as the second headliner for its 2026 edition. Find all the details below.

Next year’s instalment of the electronic music festival will take place across the August Bank Holiday Weekend, celebrating 20 years at its home in Daresbury, Cheshire. Last week, it was confirmed that Calvin Harris is set to top the bill on Saturday August 29.

Now, organisers have revealed that London-based Australian house DJ and producer Fodera will also close the Arc Stage the following night (Sunday August 30). He is billed as an “English festival exclusive” for Creamfields.

“Dreams really do come true! I’m only doing one festival in England in 2026. I will be headlining Creamfields on Sunday on the legendary Arc Stage,” the artist wrote on social media.

“Honestly, words can’t really describe the feeling I have announcing this and what it has taken to get here. This will be a moment I never forget and I know it will be shared with every single one of you.”

He concluded: “See you guys at Creamfields 26 on the Arc Stage. Sonny x.” Check out the announcement post above.

Fodera was nominated for the Song Of The Year award at the BRITs 2025 with his 2024 single ‘Somedays’. The track features both Jazzy and D.O.D. He has since worked with Jazzy again on this year’s ‘All This Time’, and teamed up with Clementine Douglas on ‘Tell Me’.

He has previously collaborated with Becky Hill, Diplo and Ella Eyre, and remixed tracks by the likes of Glass Animals, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith.

Over the summer, Fodera played a set on the Arcadia dragonfly at Glastonbury 2025.

Creamfields 2026 is due to run from Thursday August 27 until Sunday August 30. Tickets are on sale now – you can buy yours here.

The festival will “welcome 80,000 fans from across the globe for four days of groundbreaking production, a world-class line-up and the electric atmosphere that has cemented its position as the highlight of the dance music calendar”.

“With unbeatable lineups, legendary moments, and 20 years of Creamfields magic at Daresbury, Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields 2026 is set to be a celebration like no other,” organisers added.

Creamfields 2025 was headlined by Chase & Status, Swedish House Mafia and David Guetta.
