Wednesday Oct 10, 2012
Cream’s phenomenal story began back in 1992 when it staged its first event in a small 400 capacity venue in the backstreets of Liverpool, few then would realise the success it would go on to achieve and 20 years on, through sheer ambition, Cream has gone on to change the face of clubbing and become the leading global player in electronic music festivals inspiring many of today’s visionaries along the way. So its only fitting that the legendary Cream return to its spiritual home of Nation in Liverpool to celebrate this landmark occasion with two birthday bashes taking place on Saturday 6th and Saturday 13thOctober with a line up bigger than some festivals! Skiddle would like to wish Cream all the best for it's 20th year anniversary, we've certainly enjoyed working with you with the 11 or so years that we've been in business - and definately enjoyed some of your mammoth parties along the way. To help celebrate here's a special guest mix from the main man himself, Carl Cox.
