Parklife 2025: ultimate guide to line-up, stage times, tickets and dates
Parklife is one of the UK's finest festivals (according to Time Out). It's hosted the likes of Wu Tang Clan, Liam Gallagher and Snoop Dogg in years gone by, so naturally, this year's bill features even more of the planet's biggest stars. The Manchester festival kicks off this weekend, with performances spanning multiple genres, from '90s hiphop to electronic, pop and dubstep. And if you're feeling spontaneous, there are still plenty of tickets to get your hands on. Here's everything you need to know ahead of Parklife 2025. When is Parklife 2025? Parklife is happening on June 14 and June 15. Gates open at 12pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday, finishing at 11pm. Where is Parklife 2025 and how do I get there? As always, the festival is taking place at Manchester's Heaton Park. The best way to get there is to hop on the dedicated shuttle bus, which goes from Lever Street in the city centre every 10 minutes, dropping punters right outside the festival site. The journey takes around 30 minutes. At the end of each day, it'll begin picking people up from the site at 6.30pm and keep running until the site is clear. There are also the trams from Manchester Victoria to Heaton Park which run every six minutes, with the journey lasting 15 minutes. If you download the Bee Network app, you can purchase the Parklife Travel Pass for £8 a day (or £14.85 for the weekend), which will let you get on any bus or tram service in Greater Manchester to get to and from the event. Who are the headliners for Parklife 2025? On Saturday night, the headline slot belongs to rapper 50 Cent. Then on Sunday, Charli xcx tops the bill. What's the full Parklife lineup and set times?

Instead of solely looking at secret sets, we've taken a look through Reddit and the depths of social media to see who people think might make a guest appearance at Parklife this year. Be it Lorde or French house icons teaming up with a 'brat,' or a guerrilla gig potentially before or after what will be an incredibly lively set, here's five rumours currently doing the rounds before festival-goers converge on Manchester this weekend Last minute Parklife 2025 rumours From who could guest with Charli XCX to who might play a guerrilla gig this weekend; here's a round up of the last minute rumours for Parklife 2025. | Getty Images Will Lorde or Air join Charli XCX this weekend? There has been increased speculation that New Zealand musician Lorde could make a surprise appearance during Charli XCX's set. The singer, on the brink of releasing her brand new album, Virgin, has featured regularly alongside Charli XCX in recent months, thanks to their stunning collaborative effort Girl, So Confusing . Lorde was even seen on stage during both of the BRAT performer's Coachella 2025 sets in April. Given their recent proximity and obvious chemistry, a repeat performance in Manchester is high on many fans' wish lists. Lorde is due to play a full UK tour in November 2025, but a quick pop-up this weekend isn't out of the question for a collaborator. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But could an appearance by French dance giants Air be on the cards too? Charli XCX famously performed with the duo in Paris during their June 8, 2025 show. With Air's next tour date taking place in Dublin on June 17, 2025 – just two days after Parklife – a quick journey across the Irish Sea could certainly be in order for a surprise cameo. Who could perform alongside 50 Cent as he returns to the United Kingdom? Though wishful thinking means some hope either Eminem or Dr. Dre makes an appearance at Parklife 2025, there are still members of 50 Cent's G-Unit who could make the trip to appear on stage with him. The name Tony Yayo frequently gets mentioned, owing to him being the most consistent member of G-Unit alongside 50 Cent and having regularly appeared with the rapper. However, some think another core member, Lloyd Banks , could also be a guest during the set. Neither artist currently has independent tour dates scheduled, and if Fiddy is bringing any of the crew, those two names are highly probable. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Could Jora Smith bring on a who's who of UK rap icons? Jorja Smith's soulful R&B often blends seamlessly with the UK's vibrant rap and grime scenes. Fans are hoping she might invite some of her esteemed collaborators to share the stage. A top contender is Loyle Carner , with whom she released the acclaimed Loose Ends, and a joint performance would be a smooth and well-received addition to her set. What's more, there's significant buzz around AJ Tracey . The pair just reunited for their brand new single Crush in February 2025, and their chemistry is undeniable – a surprise live rendition of this fresh track would send the crowd wild. While a cameo from giants like Stormzy would be truly monumental, such high-profile appearances are often closely guarded secrets, and a full "who's who" might be as wishful as some of the wildest 50 Cent reunion rumours. However, with Jorja's extensive network of influential UK artists, her set remains a hotbed for potential unexpected collaborations. With a history of guerrilla gigs, will Loopdaddy take to the streets of Manchester? One of the highlights I'll be missing out on could potentially sneak a set on the streets of Manchester this weekend. We're talking about Loopdaddy himself, Marc Rebillet. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Given his official festival slot at Parklife in Manchester, it wouldn't be out of character for the incredibly fun producer to set up a quick, unannounced performance in a public space before or after his main set. Perhaps a quick gig at Victoria or Piccadilly Station could be something fans traveling to the event might spot? Guest DJs on the VIP Stage; is Andy Burnham about to spin the decks? Official Parklife information often explicitly mentions 'VIP DJs and special guests playing on the VIP stage, which is separate from the rest of the festival.' There's also the new Backstage Ticket which grants 'on-stage access at The Hangar stage' and access to 'exclusive VIP area with luxury loos, charging points, and a street food market and VIP cocktail bar.' While not a 'secret' headliner per se, this does pose a unique opportunity for some very important people to step into the DJ booth and lay on some tunes for those with the privilege to be there – and of all the names we've mentioned, why not add Andy Burnham as one of those potential guest DJs? Known for his own occasional DJ sets at local venues, it's not entirely out of the question for Burnham to pop up for a quick, unannounced turn on the decks.

Restaurant set to close for weekend due to ‘cancellations caused by Parklife'
A restaurant will be closing its doors for the weekend after "being left with no option" due to Parklife festival road closures. Family-run Prestwich Italian restaurant L'Aquila, which is opposite Heaton Park, shared an update to its customers that it would 'not be sustainable' for them to stay open following 'a significant number of cancellations'. As Manchester's biggest festival brings thousands of visitors to town on Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16, several roads around Prestwich will be closed, along with temporary parking restrictions in place. The L'Aquila spokesperson shared that this will be the fourth consecutive year that they've closed while the festival takes place, which they say causes 'dramatically reduced footfall' for the Bury Old Road restaurant. Get the latest news delivered straight to your inbox by signing up to the Bury Times morning newsletter as well as our breaking news alerts. They said that the repeated weekend closures are 'incredibly damaging' to the business and have concerns about the impact of the upcoming Oasis concerts being held in the park next month. They also said that they have 'tried to raise concerns with the relevant parties' but have been 'passed from one person to another without any meaningful outcome.' The full statement said: 'Dear Customers, 'We regret to inform you that, due to the significant number of cancellations caused by road closures during the Parklife Festival weekend, we have been left with no option but to close our doors once again this weekend for the fourth consecutive year. 'With the continual rise in operational costs, it is simply not sustainable for us to remain open when access is so limited and footfall dramatically reduced. 'Looking ahead, the coming weeks pose even more challenges, with further extensive road closures scheduled across two weekends in July for the Oasis concert. 'As a small, family-run business, losing three of our busiest weekends within two months has a profound impact. READ NEXT: Everything you need to know about getting to and from Parklife 2025 READ NEXT: Row breaks out over 'kids play area' with 'no planning permission' 'Saturdays and Sundays are vital to our operations, and repeated closures are incredibly damaging. 'Each year, we try to raise concerns with the relevant parties but often find ourselves passed from one person to another without any meaningful outcome. 'If any of our valued customers have contacts who might be able to offer support or help us communicate our situation more effectively, we would be truly grateful. Your continued support means the world to us. 'Thank you, L'Aquila family.'
