Deadmau5, Stormzy and Richie Hawtin are some of the acts who have been announced to play at Creamfields this year.

The dance music festival takes place on the August Bank Holiday, with 300 artists playing 30 stages.

Radio 1 will be hosting the main stage for the first time on the event's 20th anniversary.

Around 70,000 people are expected to go to the four-day festival at the event in Daresbury, Cheshire.

The Sunday line-up includes Tiesto, Martin Garrix and Alesso.

In 2013 organisers spent £500,000 improving the festival site after flooding forced it to close early in 2012, and has gone on to win major prizes at the UK Festival Awards.
