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.

Welsh pub Liam Gallagher loved to drink at all night instead of recording Oasis' hit album
Welsh pub Liam Gallagher loved to drink at all night instead of recording Oasis' hit album The rock and roll star and frontman of one of Britain's biggest ever bands is coming back to Wales this week - and it will be 30 years after he used to be seen regularly in one Monmouth boozer (Image: Simon Ridgway/Sky UK Ltd ) There's a pub in a Welsh town where Liam Gallagher once drank the nights away in the 1990s while his brother Noel was at a remote studio three miles away putting the finishing touches to one of the most famous and successful British rock albums of all time. Back in the early summer of 1995, Oasis chose Rockfield Studios in the beautiful Wye Valley in south Wales as the perfect spot to record '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', which was released later that same year to huge critical and commercial success. This album would come to characterise Oasis and, in many respects, the entire Britpop culture, transforming both Gallagher brothers, guitarist Bonehead, bassist Guigsy, and their then-new drummer Alan White into international superstars. This followed closely on the heels of their debut album, 'Definitely Maybe', which had only been released the previous year. During the recording sessions at Rockfield, Gallagher confessed that he "spent more time in the pub than I did here". The pub he's referring to is the Royal Oak in Monmouth. "I'd do my singing and I'd come back and our kid (Noel Gallagher) would still be playing the same bloody riff over and over and over again," he added. Reflecting on a 1995 encounter with Oasis followers, Gallagher shared his recollection of the interaction: "It was like 'come back to our gaffe, we're having a great time'. 'What about Noel, the miserable c***? He won't want us back there.' I went 'oh, he loves you, you pay for his big f****** house, he'd love to see you'. But it wasn't like that. We'd bring them back and he'd be like 'who the f*** are these d*** heads?' and I'm saying 'these are your fans'." The Royal Oak, Monmouth Article continues below Years later, during the filming of the Sky documentary 'Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours at Rockfield', Gallagher found himself in the Royal Oak once again, but his company had changed; this time he was joined by his sons Gene and Lennon rather than his rockstar peers and exuberant supporters. Musing about his approach to fatherhood while spending time with his sons at the pub, Liam remarked: "If they step out of line they'll get a telling off, for sure. And the thing is, even though I haven't got a leg to stand on, I've got a f****** knee to bounce off." He also discussed what motivated him to pen his third solo album - titled C'mon You Know, released in 2022 - following the massive success of his first two. "This started because when lockdown happened we were all panicking and thinking we're all gonna die if we don't wash our hands nine hundred f****** times a f****** minute," he said. "So you go to the pub, and you get on the piss, so I did that for six months, and then obviously you're getting bored of getting w******* and washing your f****** hands, so I got a little studio in the house, done the vocals and before we knew it we had an album done. "I'd say I've definitely got a bit more professional but you do when you get older," Gallagher concludes. "I didn't give a f***. I loved going out, I loved doing the tunes, partying, that's what I thought I had to do. My job is to just get in there, look cool, sing as good as I can and bring the rock and roll side to it. I've definitely chilled out a bit, for sure." Taking to the stage in front of massive stadium crowds won't be an intimidating prospect for the Oasis frontman, who performed two sold-out shows at Knebworth in 2022 to a combined audience of 160,000, and has just completed an outdoor and arena tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of 'Definitely Maybe'. "I didn't think it would go as well as it's gone, this solo thing," he said. Yet, despite his remarkable solo achievements, nothing can match the magnitude of next summer's Oasis '25 tour, which will see both Gallagher brothers reunite on stage - a prospect that, until recently, seemed like an impossibility for fans.

Tickets for the second night are up for grab here. They are at the Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5. All the details you need to know are here.

The night I tried to reunite Liam & Noel with their estranged dad & why it's still one of my biggest regrets 29 years on
SOME might say I have zero chance of ever being granted forgiveness by Liam and Noel Gallagher. I don't deserve it but, for a very long time, I've wanted to tell them: 'I'm sorry.' 7 7 Looking back, I now completely understand why Liam was furious. He was so angry that he tried to punch me in the face. But at the time, I really didn't know the truth about what I'd been dragged into. The summer of 2025 will be the summer of Oasis — the comeback fans have patiently waited years for. But their reunion is a stark reminder of a particularly dark night in my past. The night I accompanied their father, Tommy Gallagher, to the Westbury Hotel in Dublin on Saturday, March 23, 1996. I was a junior reporter based in Yorkshire who, weeks earlier, after just turning 21, was asked to go to Tommy's home in Manchester to see if he'd talk about his world-famous sons. I was polite, he was friendly. We built up a rapport. He told me he hadn't seen his three sons since the day his wife left him. Lonely Tommy often said how much he adored and missed them and was desperate to be back in their lives. I felt sorry for him. He would get emotional showing me family photos and the guitar he said he had taught them their first chords on. When I relayed this to bosses in London, they told me I had to play a Cilla Black Surprise Surprise-type role — bringing the family back together. So, the plan was to accompany Tommy to Ireland, and to stay at the same fancy hotel the band were at while performing in the city. I was told to stay at Tommy's house the night before the trip to guarantee he made the early-morning flight. I knew better than to argue, so spent the night where Noel used to sleep. I say 'spent' — not 'slept' — because, believe me, you don't do much sleeping when in a house with a much older man you barely know. I was naive, young and inexperienced. It was my first ever solo job for the paper. 7 I was eager to impress my bosses in the tough newsroom down south. After checking into the hotel, Tommy wrote a letter explaining why he was there, which was handed to Liam. Minutes later, Liam rang Tommy's hotel room and barked at him: 'If I catch you round . . . walking round the lobby in this hotel . . . you're going to get your legs f***ing broke. Right? See ya later.' Reign of terror Tommy appeared devastated and said his heart was 'broken'. But Liam hadn't minced his words — and there would be no tear-jerker Cilla reunion role for me. We were told to head home in the morning, and the photographer who was on standby for the reunion snaps was told to leave. It was done. But Tommy wouldn't listen. At 2am, my hotel room phone rang. Tommy shouted: 'If you want a decent story, you'd better get down to the bar, NOW.' I begged him to calm down, to go to bed, to stop being ridiculous. He wouldn't listen. I was bleary-eyed but will never, ever forget the extraordinary scenario I raced into. There was Tommy, sitting in one corner of the bar, staring forcefully at the band who were at the other side. He refused to leave. In an instant, all hell broke loose. Liam swaggered over, bouncing up and down, and screamed: 'I told you I'd break your legs.' He lunged for his dad first, and then tried to punch me. Bouncers held him back, but Liam snarled: 'I'll break that tart's f***ing legs, too.'' Noel watched on, ready to wade in. Liam told his dad he was a 'loser', while he was a 'millionaire' who 'can afford bail now'. Tommy made jibes about Liam's then partner, Patsy Kensit, and called Liam a 'silly boy'. I sat there trembling. Finally, Tommy stormed off and one of the huge but kindly Oasis security guards 'escorted' me and my luggage out of the hotel, as I fought back tears. Liam and Noel have since, rightly, spoken out about how appalling this incident was. What they knew at the time, and I didn't, is that Tommy was a shocking, vile, evil father. And a liar. Just six months after that night, their mum Peggy set the record straight, revealing she had fled from Tommy because he was a womaniser and a drunk who beat her, Noel and their eldest son Paul. She said they were all left scarred by his reign of terror. When I read her words, I felt physically sick. That terrifying night now fully made sense to mje. I had been fed a pack of lies. And used. I have felt remorse for my part in what happened ever since. And if Noel and Liam still look back in anger at that night, I really don't blame them. I do, too. And I'm sorry. Don't hound Royals 7 THE charity folk at Peta – People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals – have slammed William and Kate for allowing their cocker spaniel, Orla, to have puppies instead of adopting one amid an 'animal homelessness crisis'. They even said the royals were 'staggeringly out of touch' for 'churning out a litter'. How ridiculous – and nasty. They went on to openly praise Charles and Camilla, who have 'chosen to adopt from a shelter rather than contribute to the problem'. Adopting a dog doesn't suit every family. Sometimes a family really needs the focus and joy of seeing new life come into this world. Like, for example, when three young children have seen their mum go through an agonising cancer battle. One of the pups is staying with them, the rest will be guaranteed good homes. You wouldn't find a children's charity chastising people who have a bouncing baby instead of adopting, would you? Even though there are thousands of desperate kids in this country who need homes. Surely Peta must realise Kate and William actually do more for charities in this country than most. And I hope that they stop for a moment to think about how 'stag-geringly out of touch' they are for thinking it acceptable to attack a family in this way. Brazen Bezos 7 BILLIONAIRE Jeff Bezos either has very thick skin or zero self-awareness. On Thursday, as protests around his lavish wedding to Lauren Sanchez hit fever pitch, he gushed to anybody that listened: 'We love Venice.' Clearly not grasping the fact that Venice really doesn't love him. Kim's classy collab 7 KIM KARDASHIAN shows off a new bikini for her collection – a collab between her Skims brand and Roberto Cavalli. She said the lucrative partnership came about because she looked through old holiday photos and saw she was wearing Cavalli, which prompted her to contact the brand's creative director. Which, to the rest of us, is like contacting the boss at M&S, Primark or Next. But getting absolutely zero response. Crumby queues 7 FANCY trying that M&S strawberry-and-cream sarnie? Yes, me too. They couldn't have pushed it or hyped it up any more than they have, could they? I burst into my local Marksy's with full enthusiasm on Friday to be told that they only receive 'a few' packets each morning and are 'selling out by lunchtime'. That will be that, then, because there is zero chance-I'm joining an early-morning Wimbledon-type queue for a sandwich, however wonderful it sounds.
