Parklife is an annual two-day music festival in Manchester, England and takes place in June each year. The festival predominantly features dance and electronic music, as well as pop and hip-hop artists.
Jointly organised by a number of groups, including Manchester's The Warehouse Project[1] and Live Nation, the festival started life as Mad Ferret Festival in Platt Fields Park, Rusholme, before moving to Heaton Park in north Manchester in 2013 in order to accommodate the increased numbers attending.[2] By 2023 the non-camping festival[3] has a capacity of 82,500 people over the two days.[4]
