Parklife 2025 delivered an unforgettable experience at Heaton Park, blending vibrant energy with a touch of unpredictability from the weather. The weekend was electrifying, featuring standout performances from iconic artists like 50 Cent, Charli XCX, and Jorja Smith, who captivated the audience with their powerful sets. The electronic music scene was equally impressive, with pulsating beats from Bicep, Peggy Gou, and Rudimental that kept festival-goers dancing throughout.

This year marked a significant milestone, celebrating 15 years of Parklife, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement as crowds gathered to revel in the festivities. The introduction of the new Matinée stage was a bold move, showcasing a diverse array of talent, although it did attract a bit too much attention on Sunday, leading to packed scenes, ultimately forcing the stage to an early closure. Still the crowds were buzzing.
As the weekend came to a close, the question lingered in the air: will we see you back next year for another round of unforgettable moments?
Parklife returns to Heaton Park in 2026 on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June.
