At Creamfields Argentina, the stage you pick at 8:30 is your night — Hugel to Charlotte de Witte, Sven Väth to Enrico Sangiuliano, or Nic Fanciulli to Kölsch

Creamfields Argentina has put out its set times. One day, Saturday 14 November, at Parque de la Ciudad in Buenos Aires: 32 sets on four stages, from 3pm to 2am.

All four stages start at 3 and run at the same time until midnight. So for nine hours there are always four sets to choose from. The good news is how the evening is built. From 8:30 on, three of the stages each run one long line of big names, with only a short break between them. Pick a stage and you can stay there.

The Main Stage: Hugel, then Fisher, then Charlotte de Witte

Hugel plays the Main Stage from 8:30 to 10. Fisher follows from 10:15 to 11:45. Charlotte de Witte closes from midnight to 2.

That is five and a half hours with two 15-minute breaks, and you never have to move. Fisher has played 155 festivals in our records, so the Main Stage will be the fullest spot in the park. Get there during Hugel if you want to be close.

The Alternative stage: Sven Väth, then Enrico Sangiuliano

Sven Väth plays the Alternative stage for two hours, 8:30 to 10:30. Enrico Sangiuliano takes over straight away and plays to midnight.

This is the stage that costs you the most. If you stay for all of Sven Väth you miss all of Hugel and the first 90 minutes of Nic Fanciulli. If you stay for Enrico Sangiuliano you miss most of Fisher: they share 75 minutes. The Alternative stage also finishes first, at midnight, so you still get Charlotte de Witte or Kölsch at the end.

The Cream stage: Nic Fanciulli, then Kölsch, then Faithless Sound System

Nic Fanciulli plays Cream from 9 to 11. Kölsch follows from 11 to 12:45. Faithless Sound System closes from 1 to 2.

The hard part here is midnight. Charlotte de Witte starts on the Main Stage at 12, and Kölsch still has 45 minutes left. If you want both, leave Kölsch early. Then at 1 Faithless Sound System starts on Cream, with an hour of Charlotte de Witte still to go. You will have to pick one for the last hour.

Before 8:30: two choices worth making early

At 5:30, Loud Luxury start on the Main Stage (to 6:45) at the same time as Anfisa Letyago on Alternative (to 7). You can see one or the other, not both.

At 7, Innellea starts on the Main Stage and plays to 8:15. Âme play live on Alternative from 7:15 to 8:15, and SOSA is on Cream from 7:30 to 9. Âme have played 146 festivals in our records. It is a one-hour set, so if they are on your list, do not drift.

The fourth stage, Deseo, runs eleven one-hour sets back to back from 3 to 2. When you need a break from a crowd, it is always there.

If you are going to Santiago too

Twelve of these acts play Creamfields Chile on Sunday, the next day. One choice follows you over the Andes: Fisher and Nic Fanciulli clash again in Santiago, both from 6 to 7:30. If you go with Fisher on Saturday, Sunday is your chance to see Nic Fanciulli.

The full grid is on the Creamfields Argentina event page. Save your sets there, and decide at 8:30 which stage is yours.
