Parklife 2026<\/a> returns to Heaton Park<\/a> for a second day full of live music and good times.<\/p>\n

Drawing in more than 80,000 fans, this year’s festival<\/a> has already featured the likes of Skepta, Sammy Virji, Josh Baker, Rossi, Prospa, Nia Archives and more yesterday (June 20) with many more big names playing later today.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s line-up is fronted by headline sets from Calvin Harris and Zara Larsson, with artists including Armand Van Helden, Osmosis Jones, Omar+, LP Rhythm, Shy FX, Kettama, and Rudim3ntal also bringing the energy to crowds across the five main stages.<\/p>\n

The newest addition to this year’s Parklife<\/a> will be the Panorama stage, which has been described as an evolution of the fan-favourite Hangar. Making its debut, the set-up will feature multi-level dance platforms, a massive 100-metre curved LED screen that wraps around the stage, and exclusive behind-the-booth access for VIPs. On Sunday, the likes of Chlo\u00e9 Caillet, Ewan McVicar and Chris Stussy will play the new stage.<\/p>\n

Whilst fans will also be flocking to Heaton Park for the major music festival, there will also be other big-scale events taking place<\/a> elsewhere across the city-region which are likely to have an impact on public transportation. The other big event will be Take That’s gigs at the Etihad Stadium – where they will play tonight for their third and final show this week.<\/p>\n

There will also be the B-52’s and DEVO at the AO Arena, whilst the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 at Old Trafford will also see South Africa and India play against each other.<\/p>\n
