Rockstar Energy presents Parklife Festival 2026
The largest metropolitan music festival in the UK, Parklife is held at Manchester's Heaton Park. The annual event features beats from multiple music genres including hip hop, grime, pop, rock, club, house and dance.
Organised by the same people behind The Warehouse Project, the urban festival first began in 2010 at Platt Fields Park, Rusholme before moving to Heaton Park in 2012. Over its first decade, Parklife welcomed performances from music greats such as Mark Ronson, Wu Tang Clan, Disclosure, George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers, Snoop Dogg, The xx, Liam Gallagher, N.E.R.D, The 1975, Foals and many more.
The non-camping northern festival has developed a reputation for its wonderfully diverse and eclectic line-up, attracting some of the world's biggest names and hottest emerging talent to its multiple stages. Parklife also boasts chill out zones, street food, bars and art installations to enjoy.
You can reach Heaton Park from the M60 Ring Road. Public transport is recommended as there is limited car parking, which often sells out in advance of the event. There is a car and taxi drop off point at Sainsburys car park off Middleton road.
You can get the Bury Metro link line from Manchester city to Heaton Park stop
There are national rail service links to Manchester Piccadilly. From the train station you can get the Metro to Heaton Park after a short walk to Market Street Metro Link.
There is a Parklife Express shuttle bus from Aytoun Street in Manchester to the festival. There are additional bus routes across Greater Manchester you can take including the 135, 59, 64, 484, 495, 164 and 165.
