The event was due to take place in Daresbury, Cheshire over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

The line-up included Adam Beyer, Ben Nicky, Boris Brejcha, Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, Tiësto and Timmy Trumpet.

People who had tickets for the three-day festival between 26 and 29 August are being offered a refund or tickets for next year's event.

"We regret to announce that Creamfields 2020 will no longer be taking place," organisers said in a statement on its website.

It said it has "become clear it's simply not possible" for it to go ahead.

Organisers said the event - which attracts thousands of festival-goers - would return on the 2021 August Bank Holiday with as many artists in this year's line-up as possible.

The festival was last cancelled in 2012 due to flooding.
