Megan Thee Stallion, Dave and Skepta are among the artists booked to perform at this year’s Parklife Festival.

Organisers have said they plan on having the Manchester event go ahead, and unveiled their lineup yesterday evening (Tuesday 23 March).

The festival will take place in Heaton Park between 11-12 September, following its forced cancellation due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Rapper Dave’s performance will be an exclusive for Parklife, with other acts on the lineup including Little Simz, AJ Tracey, Jamie xx, Celeste, and BBC Sound of 2021 winner Pa Salieu.

Fans who have registered for the event will be able to access a pre-sale from 10am today (24 March). General release tickets go on sale tomorrow (Thursday 25 March) at 10am.

Pre-sale tickets are available here.

Parklife founder Sacha Lord has been one of the leading voices in the UK music industry calling on the government to better support live events.

Earlier this year, he gave evidence to a DCMS committee about what festival organisers required in order to allow live music events to go ahead this year.

Other festivals planning to take place this summer include Wireless, Latitude and Reading & Leeds.
