Creamfields decamped to to its spiritual home of Liverpool. The old airfield played host to nearly 50,000 crazy beautiful clubbers who returned every august bank holiday for the next 6 years to ‘Live the Cream’.
Creamfields…the smartest, simplest, most brilliantly conceived outdoor festival of the whole calender. F***ing incredible, already etched into the memory of anyone there. And that’s whats so inspiring about Creamfields, no condescension, none of that cheap salesmanship was anywhere to be seen. As such, it was a totally refreshing antidote to a festival season that got so repetitive so quick. With a few alterations, Creamfields will be perfect, it damn near was today! Melody Maker 1999
