They say good things happen in threes, and this certainly seems to be the case for Cream, who are at present arranging their third clubbing extravaganza of the year.

Cream's tenth Ibiza anniversary, and its UK Creamfields event were both raging successes, and now the Liverpool night has just announced plans for its 13th birthday party.

Despite no longer operating on a regular basis, Cream is still going strong and continues to hold big events both in the UK and internationally, as well as producing its compilation CDs.

On Saturday October 8th, Cream will return to its home roots for their annual festivities at Liverpool's Nation.

In the main room, house music veteran Erick Morillo will be joined by Gareth Wyn, the Cream Ibiza resident, who will be exclusively performing a house set.

Phat Phil Cooper, Lee Ellis and Anthony Probyn will also be spinning.

BBC Radio 1's Fergie and Judge Jules, plus Riley & Durant, and Paul Kershaw, will cater for the harder element of Cream in the Courtyard.

And finally, the Annexe will play host to a Hacienda Vs Cream battle where the likes of Graeme Park and Mike Pickering, James Barton, Andy Mac, K-Klass and Andy Carroll will go head to head.

The event will also be broadcast live on Radio City.
