Though today indie and dance sit happily side by side, it's not too hard to remember a time when it wasn't quite the case.

Ten years ago, Creamfields - the festival arm of the Cream superclub - was one of the forces bringing the factions together, attempting to fuse dance and rock, and that unpredictable element, camping. Things have undoubtedly changed since then, but as the presence of Fatboy Slim as headliner illustrates, some things stay the same. As for the promised indie, here this means the borderline club-friendly likes of Ian Brown, Kasabian, Pendulum and mixtape supremos Soulwax. More traditional club fare is on hand from Paul Van Dyk, Eric Prydz, Dave Clarke and Paul Oakenfold.
