Cream was a music promotion trio (Darren Hughes, James Barton and Andy Carroll[1]) that originally began hosting a weekly house music club night[2][3] (1992–2002)[4] at the now-demolished Nation nightclub (formerly Snobs Disco[5]) in Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool.[6] It ran in this format from October 1992 to June 2002.[7]
Cream has counted Steve Lawler and Yousef amongst its resident DJs.[8][9]
Cream also hosts the dance music festival Creamfields every August in Daresbury, Cheshire. Creamfields has won the award for Best Dance Event at the UK Festival Awards a record six times since the awards began 10 years ago, most recently in December 2014. In 2010, they also won the Music Week award for "Festival of the Year".[10]
In 2012, Live Nation acquired the Creamfields Festival Brand from Cream on a contract basis .[11]
Cream's home in Wolstenholme Square, Liverpool was demolished in 2016 as part of an urban regeneration project. Plans to build a new home for the nightclub as part of the development were retrospectively removed from the planning application.[12]
