Creamfields unveils new structure Generator
Creamfields ramps up with more innovation for 2018.
Fresh off the back of announcing the groundbreaking 360-degree SILO arena last month, Creamfields has unveiled another new and exciting stage structure for the fields of Daresbury: Generator.
Renowned for its industry-leading production values, Creamfields continues to ramp up the pace for 2018.
Generator – a cavernous structure made of scaffold and shipping containers – is another bold leap for the festival. Building on the multi-tired concept of SILO, Generator brings an industrial feel to the festival and promises to offer a few surprises as well.
Several sections of Generator’s walls will double as viewing galleries, while the abundance of scaffold and trussing that make up the structure will provide an all-round spectacle for revellers, including an enormous all-encompassing, multi-dimensional wall of LED screens, and lights, lasers and pyro that span the length and breadth of the structure.
With an incredible line-up already revealed – including the likes of Above & Beyond, Faithless, Tiesto and more – Creamfields 2018 promises to be a highlight of the festival season.
Taking place in Daresbury, Cheshire, the festival runs from Thursday 23 August until Sunday 26 August, welcoming some of the biggest names in electronic and urban music, including Giggs and Krept & Konan.
The top-line acts for Creamfields 2018 also include Idris Elba, Wilkinson, The Chainsmokers and the previously announced Eric Prydz presents Holo.
