Creamfields Abu Dhabi
on 11/12/2011Thousands 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.
