Let’s be real: when it comes to music, the North West is untouchable. And if you needed a reminder, Parklife Festival 2025 is here to prove it. Taking over Heaton Park on 14–15 June, this year’s line-up is absolutely stacked, making it the must-attend weekend of the summer.
Headlining? None other than 50 Cent. After smashing his 2022 set at Parklife, the rap legend is back by popular demand, and you just know he’ll have the crowd hyped with all the hits. Joining him is Charli XCX, bringing her genre-defying pop anthems to the main stage, and the one and only Jorja Smith, fresh off her Falling or Flying tour. But it’s not just the headliners bringing the magic, rising star Lola Young is having her viral moment right now, and her Parklife debut is already on my can’t-miss list.
A Line-Up Worth Shouting About
The latest line-up announcement has only cemented why Parklife is one of the best festivals in the UK. Big names like Peggy Gou, Rudim3ntal, Bicep presents Chroma, and Armand Van Helden are ready to take Heaton Park by storm, while legends like Skream & Benga and Joy Orbison promise to bring the energy. Plus, with artists like Overmono, Steve Angello, and Marc Rebillet joining the party, there’s something for every kind of music fan.
And it doesn’t stop there. The November announcement already teased us with massive acts like DJ Heartstring, Jodie Harsh, Girls Don’t Sync, and Interplanetary Criminal. But what’s really got me buzzing is Parklife’s brand-new Matinée stage, featuring a 360° DJ booth. Trust me, the vibes are going to be unreal.
Why Parklife Feels Like Home
There’s something about Parklife that just hits differently. Maybe it’s the location, Heaton Park is a gem, and Manchester’s music history speaks for itself. Or maybe it’s the people, there’s no crowd like a Northern crowd. Everyone’s there for a good time, and the energy is unmatched. Parklife doesn’t just feel like a festival; it feels like home.
So, if you’re looking for a weekend packed with amazing music, buzzing energy, and a proper Northern welcome, Parklife 2025 is where you need to be. Tickets sell out fast, so don’t sleep on it. This summer, the North West is calling, are you in? Get your Parklife tickets here.
