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.
