Creamfields announces The Steel Yard return

CREAMFIELDS has announced the return of The Steel Yard, following the birth of the event at this year’s dance festival – which saw 70,000 people flock to Daresbury, Cheshire for the weekend.

At this year’s festival, The Steel Yard launched their brand with a superstructure that exceeded all expectations, becoming one of the festival highlights for 2016.

The Steel Yard’s second show will see electronic headline act, Axwell & Ingrosso take to the stage at the Central Docks on Liverpool’s waterfront this November.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: “Creamfields is one of Liverpool’s biggest and most iconic brands and is world famous and has a reputation for pushing the boundaries.

“So to know that Creamfields is coming back to the city is music to my ears, because this is its spiritual home. Steel Yard is sure to excite many people and my hope is that it is something that can become a regular fixture in the city’s annual music calendar.”

The event is the first of a series of special events planned ahead of the Creamfield’s 20th anniversary celebrations in 2017 and sees the return of the brand to its spiritual home.

Assistant project director at Liverpool Waters Ian Pollitt said: “Steel Yard is a really innovative concept and having it at Central Docks in Liverpool Waters so close to the river will make it a truly memorable experience for everyone attending.

“I am delighted that we are working with Cream and able to find them a place on the waterfront, which I hope will become their regular venue for years to come.”
