Parklife Festival 2025

Following the huge success of previous years, Parklife is back at Heaton Park this summer on Saturday, June 14th, and Sunday, June 15th, 2025. Renowned for eclectic sets of dance, electronic, pop, and hip-hop, the event has remained one of the most in-demand fixtures in the city's cultural calendar and a key event for any music lover throughout the year.

Already building a buzz, the 2025 edition has unveiled its first headliner: Charli XCX, fresh off her album Brat, which marked the soundtrack of this summer. Seven Grammy nominations-mostly notably Album of the Year-have made Charli a global pop powerhouse, and her inimitable high-energy performance is expected to get the crowds wild as she graces the stage in Heaton Park.

Joining Charli on stage is an avant-garde bill comprising Confidence Man, DJ Heartstring, Salute presents True Vision, Interplanetary Criminal, and Antony Szmierek. Further confirmed acts to take to the stage on the night include Prospa, Ki/Ki, Girls Don't Sync, Bakey, sim0ne and Chaos In The CBD. Seductive Jodie Harsh and Gina Breeze also fire up the crowd with their hyped sets. Further names to be announced in January will complete the bill, offering a little something to satisfy every palate.

It has grown somewhat from its humble beginnings as the Mad Ferret Festival in Platt Fields Park, Rusholme. Its move to Heaton Park in 2013 allowed further capacity and expansion, and by 2023, Parklife was a non-camping juggernaut hosting 82,500 per day, with truly cemented credentials as the UK's largest metropolitan music festival.

Set amidst an iconic location, a vibrant atmosphere, and world-class performances, Parklife 2025 is going to be one unforgettable weekend of music, culture, and celebration. Mark your calendars because this is one summer event you won't want to miss.
