Last year, Avicii’s single ‘Wake Me Up’ became one of the UK’s biggest selling singles of all time. According to the Official Charts Company, the 24-year-old Swedish producer and DJ’s track broke through the million copies sales barrier in October 6. The track is the 140th single to reach this milestone in British chart history, and the third to do so in 2013 after Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ and Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’.

In 2012, the final day of the festival was cancelled after flooding made the festival site unusable. Organisers made around £500,000 improvements to the site before the 2013 event, which was headlined by The Prodigy. Tickets for Creamfields 2014 are available from 10am on Friday, February 28.
