• This year sees headline sets from Hardwell, Calvin Harris and Alesso, with other huge names from the dance scene also performing.

It’s the business end of the UK summer festival season this week, with the advent of not only Leeds and Reading Festival but the biggest dance party of the summer - Creamfields North.

With headline sets this year in the form of Hardwell, Calvin Harris and Alesso set to perform alongside the likes of Scooter, Tiësto and Fatboy Slim, the pilgrimage to Daresbury Estate in Cheshire begins in a matter of days. 

And so comes another music festival to pack your bags for, making sure to avoid dramas before entering the festival site this week by omitting a number of items deemed “banned” and/or “prohibited” from bringing to Creamfields North 2024 outright.

But alongside those items come several that organisers are accepting to be brought with campers this year, but with the restriction that it must be kept on the campgrounds. So there is still the chance to bring the inflatable garden chairs this year - within reason.
