Cream Chief Executive James Barton said:  “We are naturally delighted that our licence application has been successful.  “We were always confident in the strength of the application and we are now looking forward to putting on what will be a superb show.  “In addition, our team have unrivalled expertise and many years of experience in staging major outdoor events such as this and in ensuring the safety and well-being of all those attending, as well as those residents living nearby.”

Up to 45,000 people are expected to attend the event to watch such big-name acts as The Prodigy, Goldfrapp, Gnarls Barkley and The Zutons.

Creamfields was forced to move from its original home at the old Liverpool Airport site in Speke due to the amount of development work being carried out.  An extensive search for a suitable venue resulted in the Daresbury estate being the favoured option in terms of scale, access and availability.  Creamfields has been welcomed by a cross section of the community with a recent independent survey of over 1,000 residents in Halton and Warrington showing that more than 90% were in favour of the event coming to Daresbury. 

There has also been a positive response from the local business community and from tourism leaders.  Halton and Warrington are likely to share in an economic windfall of more than £3 million.

A study carried out at Creamfields in 2004 by The Mersey Partnership estimated that each person attending the event spent more than £90. Businesses expected to benefit include bus, taxi and rail companies, plus pubs, restaurants, hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation.
