It was impressive to see such a turnout that early on in the day. When I arrived the massive tent was already heaving with Ben UFO & Pearson Sound pulling out all the stops.


Given the choice of the whole park, we decided to head straight to the Resident Advisor stage and made our way through a crowd largely made up of groups of knee-high sock shufflers taking up far too much room for their own good. The late arrivals among us, however, were quick to let us know they were straight through the gates without any hassle and arrived shortly after. Whilst the queue was long for the few of us that arrived early, it moved relatively quickly and within an hour we were in. Getting there was relatively easy, hopping on the travel bus early in the afternoon after a short queue in the city centre.Īrriving at the festival it was clear that crowd management had been taken into account by the organisers. It was with this knowledge that me and my mixed group of 1st year tower freshers (although not technically anymore) and seasoned graduates joined 140,000 other ticket holders in heading to Heaton Park in the outer limits of the city, 5 kilometres to be exact. Has the decision to take the festival to the outer limits of the City resulted in attracting a more aggressive crowd or has it simply become to big an event to handle? Whether the organisers had become victims of their own success, or if they’d simply lost their way, this year was a chance for them to bounce back and return Parklife to the top tier of UK festivals. I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering whether Parklife might have peaked back when it was held in the much smaller in Platt Fields Park. Despite routinely selling out, it has recently suffered from accusations of overcrowding, poor organisation and disruptive crime. But with success has come some growing pains. Manchester’s Parklife has always focused on bringing out the biggest DJs of the moment while simultaneously featuring a diverse selection of the best live acts a weekend city festival could offer.
