It’s time to shake off those January blues as those summer festival announcements are coming in thick and fast! Pepsi MAX presents Parklife returns to Manchester’s Heaton Park on June 20-21 and the line up has just been revealed.
This year’s star headliner is global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris, 13 years on from his last Manchester tour date. With a stacked discography of hits including ‘One Kiss’, ‘We Found Love’, ‘I’m Not Alone’, ‘This Is What You Came For’, ‘Promises’, ‘Blame’, and ‘Blessings’, Calvin’s performance looks set to be a summer-defining moment.
Also on the line up is the queen of summer, pop sensation Zara Larsson who will be making her debut at this festival. She’ll be bringing her ‘Midnight Sun’ energy to the Heaton Park stage and is sure to be a slot not to miss. Other top artists on the line up include Sammy Virji who is a breakthrough name from the past 12 months, UK rap and grime pioneer Skepta, and dancefloor heavyweights Chris Stussy, Josh Baker, and Nia Archives.
The new PANORAMA Stage is a new evolution from the team at Parklife, building the festival’s Hangar Stage into a bold state-of-the-art experience. With cutting-edge production, on-stage/behind the booth access, a curved LED screen spanning the entire stage and multi-tiered dance platforms creating a unique audience perspective across different spaces – it’s set to lead into a fresh generation for Parklife and the electronic festival landscape.
Across two days and multiple stages, Parklife 2026 serves up a summer party full of the names shaping the dancefloor for entire generations.
