TL;DR

Eric Prydz has been added to the 2026 Creamfields lineup after John Summit withdrew from European festival dates to prepare for his arena tour. The Swedish producer will perform Friday night inside the 30,000-capacity Apex arena, marking his first Creamfields appearance since 2022.

“IDs incoming.”

“the largest indoor festival superstructure in the world”

Eric Prydz has been added to the 2026 Creamfields lineup after John Summit withdrew from four European festival appearances in August to prepare for his upcoming CTRL ESCAPE arena tour. The Swedish producer will perform Friday night inside Apex, marking his first appearance at the UK festival since he brought his HOLO show in 2022.

Apex Arena Performance Friday Night

Prydz will take the stage inside Apex, a massive indoor arena designed to hold 30,000 attendees. When the stage debuted at the event's 2024 edition, organizers called it "the largest indoor festival superstructure in the world." Creamfields itself can host up to 80,000 attendees each day.

New Music Expected

Fans attending the set will likely hear new music from Prydz, who recently announced a North American tour in social media posts alongside the caption, "IDs incoming." That came after he confirmed the completion of six new EPs under his Pryda alias and fellow Swede Steve Angello teased a long-awaited collaboration, which fans have collectively titled Bedtime Stories.

Prydz joins a blockbuster lineup featuring Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Disclosure, Carl Cox, Dom Dolla, FISHER and many more. Creamfields returns to the Daresbury Estate in Cheshire from August 27-30 and tickets are sold out.
