Martin Garrix and Alesso's first UK b2b is set for Creamfields

Martin Garrix and Alesso will play their first b2b in the UK at Creamfields next summer. The festival announced the set on November 5 and gave the pair the Saturday headline slot on the Arc Stage, on August 28, 2027.

Creamfields called them a "generational duo" in the announcement. The 2027 edition runs from August 26 to 29 in Daresbury, Cheshire, over the bank holiday weekend, and it is the festival's 30th anniversary year.

Garrix has kept count of their sets on his YouTube channel. The first was a surprise b2b on his label's STMPD RCRDS stage during the first weekend of Tomorrowland 2023. He called their set at his Red Rocks show in October 2025 "our second official B2B" and said Alesso answered the invite with "brother say less, I'll be there."

That upload ended with a promise: "cant wait to do this again at Ultra 2026." Garrix called their Ultra Miami set in March "round 3 of going b2b together with my dear brother Alesso" and signed it "much love from sandro & marty." Sandro is short for Alesso's real first name, Alessandro. Marty is the title of Garrix's album due on March 5, five days before he starts a 10-city tour of India.

Their first official song together took much longer. Garrix's website says "Inside Our Hearts" premiered at Ultra Miami in 2023, and it only came out in July 2025.

Alesso played Creamfields this summer and posted afterwards that "the energy felt different" there. The Arc Stage's Friday headliner next year is a group set too, with Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa going b2b2b on August 27. The Prodigy are also on the Saturday bill.
