The TikTok that TRICKED people into thinking Oasis played at Parklife last night
Thomas Melia
A TikTok video has gone viral overnight after one user tricked people into thinking there was a surprise Oasis set at Parklife last night.
In case you haven’t heard, or your social media feed hasn’t been packed with videos giving you serious FOMO, the biggest weekend in the Manchester music calendar, Parklife, is well underway.
Heaton Park may have been home to another familiar British rock band, Catfish and The Bottlemen on Friday night, but a certain rock band which definitely weren’t in attendance last night (as much as TikTok might want you to believe) is Oasis.
Although Parklife is welcoming the likes of A-list talent such as Charli XCX, 50 Cent, Jorja Smith and more, familiar household name and Britpop icons Oasis are not playing out across any of the two-day weekender.
Parklife is Manchester’s biggest festival weekender.This festival draws in crowds of up to 80,000 across both days.
But a video uploaded last night, which showed Oasis seemingly playing a set at this music festival, went viral with the caption, ‘Can’t believe Oasis just performed at Parklife’.
One TikTok user seemed very annoyed at the fact that, “My daughter was there and she hasn’t told me !!!! She hasn’t said anything ???”
Another said: “No way I sold my ticket.”
Someone else commented: “Wait what?!”
While another user outsmarted this viral video by asking the original uploader: “Do Oasis know about this?”
The video which has now resurfaced and gone viral online was actually taken back in 2022 when Liam Gallagher played out to a packed 85,000 crowd at Knebworth – not Parklife.
Although Liam Gallagher may have been scheduled to play Heaton Park back in 2020 on his own, he definitely didn’t play last night and the rest of the Oasis troupe, including Noel, definitely weren’t in attendance too.
This, however, will be a different story next month as the boys are set to play five non-consecutive nights at Heaton Park between 11 and 20 July.

What people are wearing at Parklife 2025 – ruffles, leopard print, and not much else at all…
Daisy Jackson
Parklife is back, which means festival fashion is back, and Manchester has absolutely delivered on its outfit trends once again.
Every year in the fields of Heaton Park, tens of thousands of music-lovers flock to the biggest party of the year.
And Manchester loves an excuse to get dressed up, whether it’s donning a pair of hot pants, the latest trainers, or something as tiny as a bikini.
Gone are the days where people would just wear jeans to a festival – especially Parklife, which has always delivered a more rave-inspired outfit.
Of course, the inevitable plastic poncho has featured pretty heavily in this year’s Parklife wardrobes.
And we did spot one guy wearing an ankle tag as an accessory…
But here are five other outfits trends we spotted around Parklife this year.
Leopard print
Outfit trends at Parklife 2025 – leopard print
Whoever said leopard print is a neutral is my kinda person, and this is one outfit trend you cannot get away from at Parklife.
We spotted the same pair of sequinned leopard micro-shorts about 300 times on day one of the festival, as well as some other variations on the legendary animal print.
There were leopard print bikini tops, leopard print jeans, leopard print two-pieces and plenty more in between, and they all looked amazing.
Ruffle skirts and frilly shorts
Outfit trends at Parklife 2025 – ruffle skirts
Manchester got the memo – tiny ruffle skirts and frilly shorts are the ultimate festival outfit essential this year, if Parklife is anything to go by.
These have been absolutely everywhere, whether it’s lace-trimmed hot pants or pretty white tennis skirts.
Ideally paired with a little chain belt, we’ll be seeing a lot more ruffles and frills today I reckon.
Cowboy boots
Outfit trends at Parklife 2025 – cowboy boots
Mixed feeling about cowboy boots at a festival – on the one hand, they look absolutely 10/10 gorgeous stunning amazing chic cool.
But on the other hand THINK OF THE BLISTERS. What happened to a sensible wellington boot?!
We saw a lot of people walking around barefoot with their cowboy boots in hand by the end of night one, but at least they looked cute before then.
Sports shirts
Outfit trends at Parklife 2025 – football shirts
It looked like a day out at an American football game out there are Parklife – the trend for colourful, Varsity football shirts was all over the place.
The girls were out in bold red, green, pink and all sorts of other colours, matching their sports shirts with tiny shorts and boots.
Big fan of this one.
Crochet
A festival style as old as time, little crochet shrugs have been making a healthy comeback in the fields of Parklife in 2025.

As well as crochet cardigans we’ve spotted a lot of mini dresses and bikini tops too.
It’s taken over from the trend from a few years ago where everyone squeezed into a full-body fishnet suit and is a much more bohemian twist.
