Parklife 2025 beers and drinks - bar prices in full
Parklife 2025 officially gets underway today as thousands of music lovers make their way to Heaton Park for two days of live music and entertainment from some of the music industry's biggest acts.
This year's line-up will feature headliners 50 Cen on the Saturday night and Charli xcx closing the Valley Stage on Sunday night. They'll be joined by the likes of Jorja Smith, Rudimental, Flo, Peggy Gou and Confidence Man.
Each year Parklife welcomes over 80,000 gig-goers, but it started off from much more humble beginnings, beginning life in 2007 as the student run Mad Ferret Festival, held in Platt Fields, Rusholme.

In 2010, it rebranded to Parklife Festival and stayed in Platt Fields until growing crowds necessitated its move to Heaton Park in 2013.
Since then it's evolved significantly, moved to its home of Heaton Park and welcomed some of the biggest music stars from Fatboy Slim and Snoop Dog to Wu-Tang Clan, Tyler the Creator and Doja Cat, plus many more.
In an exclusive look around Heaton Park yesterday, The Manchester Evening News watched as final preparations were made to the new stage lineup, serve-your-own bars were set up, the selfie points put into place and the fairground rides went through final safety checks.
This year, The Valley Stage, which will host 50 Cent, Charli xcx, Peggy Gou, and Confidence Man, has been moved slightly to a more central position, but still with the great views down onto the field and all the action.
While there is no Parklife Stage this year, in it's place is Magic Sky, and the big blue tent, also known as the Big Top Stage, has made a return too. There's also the Matinee and G Stage's to explore.
For those attending over the weekend, there are loads of bars dotted across the site, which will offer everything from beers and ciders to wines and cocktails, alongside some specials here and there.
Like last year, the bars and food stalls at Parklife are cashless - meaning you'll need to use your phone Wallet or card in order to buy drinks.
