Celebrating 20 Years of Transport Excellence at Creamfields
For two decades, INTX has been a key player behind the scenes at Creamfields, the world’s premier electronic music festival. As the festival celebrates another successful year, we’re proud to reflect on our 20-year partnership and the vital role we play in ensuring smooth and seamless transport for artists, crew, and festivalgoers alike.
Creamfields: A Festival Icon
Since its inception in 1998, Creamfields has grown to become a global powerhouse in the festival scene, attracting over 70,000 attendees each year with its unbeatable line-up of the world’s biggest DJs and electronic music acts. With 10 stages, multiple hotels, and countless moving parts, Creamfields is a logistical marvel—and for the past 20 years, INTX has been at the heart of making it all run smoothly.
The Challenge of Festival Transport
Providing transport for a festival of this scale is no small feat. With thousands of passengers, dozens of vehicles, and constant schedule changes, the complexity can be daunting. But at INTX, we thrive on this challenge, taking every detail into account to ensure flawless execution. From artist transfers to shuttle services, our goal is simple: to take the worry off our clients’ plates and make their lives easier.
“Creamfields is a stalwart of the INTX calendar and is always one of our favourite events of the year,” says Mark Globe, Director at INTX. “We love working with such an amazing team of event professionals from Creamfields and SC Productions, and our drivers are absolutely stellar, going above and beyond to ensure we can play our small part in making the world’s premier electronic music festival a success.”
Seamless Integration: Our Approach to Event Transport
What sets INTX apart is our commitment to integrating ourselves fully into the operations of Creamfields. We don’t just provide transport; we become an extension of the festival team. Here’s a glimpse of how we’ve been making it happen for 20 years:
- In-Depth Preparation and Planning: The day before the festival kicks off, our team is already on-site, ensuring everything is in place. This year, our prep included setting up artist transfer signage, finalising driver packs (now sent digitally in line with our commitment to reducing waste), and conducting a detailed site visit with SC Productions to confirm shuttles, transfers, and schedules.
- Attention to Every Detail: From assigning specific drivers to coordinating movements between multiple hotels and private jet pickups, no detail is overlooked. Our planning spreadsheets are meticulously checked to ensure that every vehicle, route, and timing aligns perfectly with the festival’s needs.
- Sustainable Practices: This year, we embraced a more environmentally friendly approach by digitising our driver packs. By sending all information via email and WhatsApp, we’ve reduced our paper and plastic use, aligning with our commitment to sustainability while keeping our drivers informed and ready to go.
- Real-Time Coordination: Festivals are dynamic environments where things can change at a moment’s notice. To handle this, we utilise a dedicated portal for any last-minute changes, ensuring our team is always up to date and ready to adapt. With SC Productions and the Creamfields team knowing who our drivers are, there’s a strong sense of trust and familiarity that keeps everything running smoothly.
Making Life Easier for Our Clients
The true value of our service lies in how we make our clients’ lives easier. By handling the intricate logistics of festival transport, we allow organisers to focus on what they do best—delivering an unforgettable event. With our team on the ground, Creamfields can trust that every shuttle, transfer, and pick-up will be executed with precision, allowing artists and attendees to enjoy the festival without a hitch.
As we look back on 20 years of providing transport for Creamfields, we are filled with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to be part of such an iconic event. Our commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to our clients are what keep us coming back year after year.
Looking Ahead
As this year’s festival season draws to a close, we reflect on the success of events like Creamfields and the dedication that goes into making them happen. Each season brings new challenges, and we remain committed to evolving our services, integrating the latest technologies, and continuing to be the reliable partner our clients trust.
Thank you to SC Productions, the Creamfields team, and our incredible drivers who make this all possible. As we wrap up another memorable year, we’re already thinking about what’s next and how we can continue to elevate the transport experience for our clients.
