The UK’s largest metropolitan festival is back for another year with a line-up as exciting and eclectic as the city it’s set in. Parklife is one of Manchester’s biggest events, with crowds of 80,000 per day coming in to see the all-star acts.

With representatives from the world of hip hop, grime, pop, rock, club, and house music, Parklife has become a highlight of festival season. In previous years the event has sold out in less than 48 hours – so now's your chance to be there.
