In just over two weeks, hallowed festival ground, Heaton Park, will be welcoming the 10th anniversary return of a sold-out Parklife, having hosted the event since its location transfer in 2012. It is one of the UK’s most popular music events due to its celebration of an impressive variety of genres – there really is something for everyone. Moreover, this year could be the best yet, not only due to the opportunity to celebrate the beginning of summer on the weekend of the 7th and 8th June with big names such as Cardi B, George Ezra and Solange, but also because of its continuation of festivities once the artists have vacated the stage.
Many famed DJs and live performers are preparing to bring the festival atmosphere to various venues around Manchester city centre as the lights dim down. On Saturday, a range of treats are on offer, from Solardo at Gorilla to Ed Solo b2b Deekline at Manchester Academy, and Now Wave will be presenting a special guest yet to be revealed at the quirky YES – the settings of each performance are as varied as the artists under the spotlight. If this wasn’t enough an element of mystery always keeps things interesting, and Parklife isn’t one to disappoint. Sunday is set to bring an equally exciting turnout, ranging from the likes of Zutekh DJs at Gorilla to Joey Daniel at The Bagel Shop.
With so much on offer, the only issue you will have will be deciding who to spend your nights partying with.

Featured image: Leire Ribeiro I remember a time in music when a VIP concert ticket bundled with a meet-and-greet and early entry would not cost more than £150. Today, we have artists like Harry Styles selling tickets for £725 with no soundcheck and no meet-and-greet, the only bonus being good visibility at the show, which…
Featured image: Fabiola Gonzalez Prato Every single day I hear someone complaining about not being in a relationship. I go online and watch videos of people who are tired of going on dates with those who “only want a good time,” eventually deciding that staying single is for the best. These days, the reasons behind…
