Not everyone knows of the massive festival's history in Liverpool
Creamfields kicked off this week with thousands expected to attend the award-winning dance festival over the weekend.
Creamfields was dreamed up by the minds behind legendary Liverpool superclub Cream, when, in 1998 they decided to hold a music festival. At the time they couldn't have foreseen just how big their one-day event first hosted in Winchester, Hampshire would become.For its second year, Creamfields was hosted in the Old Liverpool Airfield in Speke, with over 50,000 people flocking to the site for performances from the likes of Basement Jaxx and Pet Shop Boys.
Old pictures from the time show the huge tents being constructed at the old Liverpool site, as well as fairground rides like a SlingShot.The end came for Creamfields in the city when the decision was made to move the festival to the Daresbury Estate, an area of open parkland around Daresbury Hall in Halton, near Runcorn in 2006. The organisers said the Speke site no longer offered long-term security due to on-going works to develop factory and office units.
