I have now been to Parklife three times, and I can honestly say 2024 did not disappoint. Although there were some mix ups with the line up this year, including massive headliners such as J Hus and Fisher dropping out just before the festival (two acts I would've loved to see), I think the organisers did a good job of creating another exciting weekend this year. Parklife can sometimes gets a bad reputation for the type of music, acts and type of festival goers that attend Heaton Park on the second weekend of June nearly every year.
But I think it has gone on long enough now that people should at least try it once with an open mind, and they'll realise they either love it, or it's not for them, and that's okay. But for me, I have thoroughly enjoyed it every year I've been, which was in 2019, 2021, and now 2024. I was most excited to see The Sugababes after their reunion earlier this year, and some of my old favourites such as Rudimental.
I enjoyed dancing to all of Sugababes old tunes, such as 'Push the Button', 'Round Round', and 'About You Now'. Rudimental, made up of Piers Aggett, Kesi Dryden and Leon "Locksmith" Rolle, captivated their audience with a new song and their classic, 'Feel the Love'. Parklife is known for their offering of great DJs, as it is run by the same people that organise Warehouse Project in Manchester City Centre, a series of club nights that has been going on since 2006.
