Creamfields announces headliners

Organisers of this year's Creamfields festival have announced that the event will be headlined by Basement Jaxx and Tiesto.

They will be joined by acts including Dizzee Rascal, 2manydjs and Sasha over eight arenas on August 29 and 30 in Darsebury, Cheshire.

Early-bird camping and weekend tickets will be available at £100 for the first 5,000 sold, while all-day tickets have been frozen at last year's prices.

Executive James Barton said: "We're in the midst of a recession with most people having to tighten their belts, so we've made the first 5,000 tickets as cheap as we possibly can.

"I hope this goes a little way to easing the cash burden for the people who have been there for us through thick and thin. On a first come first serve basis, it will be our most dedicated fans who will benefit."

Last year's Creamfields saw performances from Fatboy Slim, Gossip, Pendulum and Underworld.
