📼 From Our Original Creamfields Website
CreamfieldsFestival.co.uk was covering the festival in the early 2000s. The surviving archived website contains festival announcements alongside other material about Cream club nights, merchandise and dance music.
💾 A Snapshot of the Early Internet
Old festival websites were often a mixture of news, ticket information, CD recommendations and fan contributions. Much of that material was about the wider Cream scene rather than the Creamfields festival itself.
For this page, we have focused on the original Creamfields 2002 festival preview and announced artists.
The linked Wayback Machine capture is dated 5 February 2003. It offers a view of the website shortly after the 2002 festival season.
