Creamfields unveil new 360° Halo “mega stage” for 2025 festival

Dance music festival Creamfields has unveiled a new 360° Halo “mega stage” for its upcoming 2025 edition.

Last week (October 29), the British festival – which first debuted in 1998 – gave fans their first-look at the newly-minted, Rockstar Energy-sponsored main stage way ahead of its debut at Creamfields next year (August 21-24).

The Halo stage is the “evolution of Runway”, its existing main stage that’s existed since 2022 up to this year’s edition at Daresbury, Cheshire – which featured Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, Peggy Gou, Martin Garrix and Tiësto, among others.

The new stage will feature “a monumental 45 metre diameter, cyclical outdoor arena with pioneering 360 and overhead video, lighting and sound”, which was designed in partnership with design studio Lucid Creates.

Halo is the festival’s newest stage addition after this year’s APEX stage, which was touted as the largest indoor festival superstructure in the world.

Last month (October 4), two men were given prison sentences after being found with ketamine-filled Kinder Eggs in their bums at Creamfields 2024.

Sniffer dogs alerted police as the pair were about the enter the event through the North gate. Both men were then taken to be searched by officers. An “intimate search” was carried out after they refused to coorperate further – with officers discovering a Kinder Egg capsule containing 10 bags of ketamine in his anus. The two men were handed sentences totalling 36 months in prison.

Creamfields Festival, which was founded by the club promoter Cream, began in 1998 in Winchester, before relocating to Liverpool, and finally settling on its current site in 2006.

In addition to the UK event, there are multiple international spin off versions of Creamfields around the world, including in Chile and Hong Kong.
