Creamfields Abu Dhabi

on 11/12/2011

Thousands of dance fans descended on Yas Arena, Abu Dhabi, over the weekend for the annual music event.

With over 20 hours of music spread out across a main stage and two dance arenas, Creamfields rocked the capital.  Canadian progressive electro and house producer, Joel Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5 headlined a stunning two-hour set, while UK sensation Katy B showed why she was one of the stars of the future, belting out hits from her debut album, 'On a Mission'. The young songbird, who teamed up with Mark Ronson earlier this year to create the theme song for the 2012 London Olympic Games, brought an urban twist to proceedings on the main stage.

The party continued late into the night, with US-based German trance spinner and producer Markus Schulz, Ferry Cortsen and Jochen Miller.

Thursday night also saw performances from English DJ John Digweed, UK Egyptian spinner Yousef and a host of local and international artists.

Carrying their day-2 pass, thousands of revelers returned, on Friday, to see another impressive lineup of stars. The highlight of the night and arguably the weekend was the headliner and world's number 1 DJ Tiesto, as well as live act Tinie Tempah.

The 2011 Brit Award Best Breakthrough Act, rapper Tinie Tempah, performed his award winning hit 'Pass Out', along with another number one hit 'Written in the Stars', as well as, UK top five hits 'Frisky' and popular club hit 'Miami 2 Ibiza'.

Tiesto, who recently wrapped up his Kaleidoscope World Tour delivered a standout performance with a techno mash up set featuring samples from Coldplay and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. His set was made all the more memorable by a series of spectacular fireworks launched from the roof of Ferrari World, and confetti cannons showering the capacity crowd

The night also saw another popular Dutch DJ Laidback Luke play hits from his new album 'Cream Ibiza Super You and Me'. Italian duo Italoboyz, Glasgow pair Slam, Riva Starr, Marco Carola, Derrick Carter, Mad Jam, and many more wrapped up another season of Creamfields Abu Dhabi.
