Deadmau5 And Eric Prydz To Team Up Again For Creamfields
Each year among the most talked about music festivals is Creamfields. The UK festivals is a well attended event which pulls in some the biggest names in electronic music. And from time to time Creamfields fosters some of the most historic sets of Electronic Dance Music. It looks like the 2017 edition of Creamfields will be living up to that.
Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz, arguably the two most legendary dance music acts, have just announced they will be teaming up again for their 2017 Creamfields performance. With both artist rarely ever performing with another artist it is an absolutely mind blowing show when the two get together to make sweet, sweet musical bliss. They have performed together a couple times before at HARD Summer 2014 and Tomorrowland 2016. The statement that confirmed they would be performing together at Creamfields 2017 also stated that “this will be their only European show of 2017”, but it’s unsure whether this could mean the only show as a team, which could be eluding to the fabled Eric Prydz & Deadmau5 Tour. Check out the preview video for yourself below.

The Steel Yard B2B Delivered
The set went down as planned at Creamfields 2017’s Steel Yard stage, with deadmau5 and Eric Prydz trading off tracks in a back-to-back format rather than a traditional joint production, blending their catalogs and unreleased material into a set fans immediately started dissecting and tracklisting afterward. Given how rarely either artist performs alongside another headliner, a b2b of this caliber became one of the most talked-about sets of that entire festival season, exactly the kind of can’t-miss booking Creamfields has built its reputation on.
Why This Pairing Never Got Old
Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz have such distinct, individually recognizable sounds that a set combining both feels less like a genre mashup and more like watching two masters trade ideas in real time. That rarity is exactly why each new pairing, from HARD Summer to Tomorrowland to this Creamfields set, kept generating this much hype every single time. Whether or not a full joint tour ever materialized, moments like this Steel Yard set cemented the deadmau5 and Prydz collaboration as one of dance music’s most consistently anticipated pairings.
