Creamfields Books Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa for a 2027 Friday Headline Set

The three artists will share a B2B2B headline slot on Creamfields’ ARC stage on Friday 27 August 2027, with a Dutch DJ and producer also confirmed for the APEX stage two days later.

Creamfields has confirmed that Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa will headline its Friday bill in 2027, playing a back-to-back-to-back set on the ARC stage on 27 August.

The three-way format has become a common solution for large dance festivals, letting promoters combine three audiences instead of choosing between them. Here it also signals a DJ-led Friday rather than a live-act one: three club-facing names sharing a single slot, with the running order left open to whoever is on stage at the time.

A Dutch DJ and producer is also set to return to the festival’s APEX stage on Sunday 29 August, part of the programme for what will be Creamfields’ 30th anniversary edition.

That anniversary is the more quietly significant detail. Creamfields grew out of a late-nineties single-day dance event into a multi-stage weekend fixture in the UK festival calendar, and its bookings now have to carry that scale. The 2027 edition will be judged partly on how it marks three decades, which makes the early confirmation of a Friday headline set a statement about the shape of the weekend rather than just a name announcement.

Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa get the first word on that. The rest of the bill will follow.
