Parklife

Manchester's giant weekend day festival in Heaton Park, and the one most UK festivals watch to see where dance and pop culture is heading. There is no camping; crowds pour in from the city by tram and coach each day for a fast-moving bill of house, drum and bass, grime and pop. The 2026 edition pairs Calvin Harris with Skepta and Sammy Virji.
