The organizers of Creamfields have revealed HALO, an innovative “mega stage” coming to the popular electronic dance music festival in 2025.

HALO serves as both a rebrand and an expansion of Creamfields’ fan-favorite Runway stage, which debuted back in 2022. The cyclical outdoor arena stands at a diameter of 45 meters and will be outfitted with “pioneering 360 and overhead video, lighting and sound ” from the multi-disciplinary UK design studio Lucid Creates.

“We’re incredibly grateful to be given the space and the opportunity to create such ambitious structures and shows like Runway and now HALO with Creamfields,” said the firm’s Founder and Creative Director, Chris Carr. “It’s not an easy thing to pull off , but creating these groundbreaking experiences really is what drives us all.”
