Last weekend, one of the UK’s largest music festivals, Parklife, made its return to Manchester’s iconic Heaton Park for what will go down as one of their best weekenders yet.

Playing host to some of the biggest and best in music, Parklife set the stage for the summer season with an extraordinary line-up of more than 100 acts across a number of genres, while captivating a record-breaking crowd of 80,000 attendees over the course of two unforgettable days.

From chart-toppers to underground sensations, this year’s festival really had it all. Alongside international names such as Anderson .Paak and Wu-Tang Clan, was Manny’s very own Aitch (his first major UK festival headline performance, no less), as well as performances from Little Simz, Fred Again..., RAYE, and FLO.

Throughout the grounds, acts and attendees also embraced their individuality and fashion flair. From sequin ‘fits to vintage to futuristic ensambles, the Parklife crowd showcased an impressive display of personal taste. Keeping crowds cool in the weekend’s heatwave were oversized bucket hats and statement shades, creating a visual spectacle that complimented Parklife’s vibrant atmosphere.
