*THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED SINCE ITS INITIAL PUBLICATION*

Swedish House Mafia have been confirmed to headline Creamfields 2019.

Announced by Creamfields earlier today, the reveal follows fan-suspicion after a sneaky update on the Creamfields website showed SHM’s synonymous 3-dot logo flashing on the homepage.

Last week, Axwell confirmed to Radio 1’s Annie Mac that the trio were planning to return to the UK next summer, following the recent reveal of their May 2019 live show in Stockholm.

UPDATE: Creamfields have confirmed Swedish House Mafia’s appearance will mark the trio’s only UK show for 2019.

Tickets for Creamfields 2019, which runs across the August Bank Holiday weekend (22-25) are onsale now.

Kelly Rowland has dropped an absolute BOP with her excellent new single, the aptly-titled ‘Kelly’.

With a focus on her personal achievements over the years (alongside a nod against those who just want to use her public profile for their own gain), ‘Kelly’ hears Rowland on some of her finest forms in years – a particularly-strong return considering having been off the solo music scene for a good few years now.
