How would you like to bag yourself two free VIP tickets to this year’s sold out Parklife Festival happening in September?
Well, we’ve got a treat for you.
Following a year of cancellation due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Manchester’s biggest annual celebration of music, Parklife Festival, is returning to Heaton Park on the slightly later dates of 11th – 12th September 2021, and in case you missed it, the star-studded lineup was finally unveiled last week.
There’s a jaw-dropping selection of artists set to play across the two days of the already-sold-out event, including some familiar faces back to finish what they started after being booked to play the cancelled 2020 edition last June.
Headlining the bill is multi-award-winning rapper Dave, in an exclusive UK festival appearance for 2021.

Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion will make her Parklife debut and will be joined by some of the finest grime, rap and hip-hop artists including Skepta, AJ Tracey, slowthai, Burna Boy, Mist and DaBaby.
There’s also a stellar selection of world-class DJs, drum and bass artists and more.

These tickets will give you VIP entry to both days of the festival, which includes backdoor entry – meaning there’s no need to wait as you’ll get your own dedicated entry point – the use of “luxury loos”, giving you the chance to take a moment to sit down and do your business, access to extra stages with special guest DJs, and even your own bars and food vendors.
It’s a pretty exclusive way to spend your weekend, that’s for sure.

A ‘Primary School Bangers’ gig is coming to Manchester
Daisy Jackson
A night of non-stop, nostalgic primary school bangers is heading up to Manchester this year.
The event comes from viral sensation and Glastonbury festival favourite James B Partridge, who’ll be taking his incredibly silly event on the road in 2026.
Expect to hear all those hits that shaped your childhood, whether you were sat cross-legged on a carpet or one of the lucky ones who got to sit on a PE bench in assembly.
His usual setlist includes classics like Sing Hosanna, One More Step Along The World I Go, and When I Needed A Neighbour.
Primary School Bangers will be heading to the beautiful Albert Hall in Manchester in March, along with a run of dates across the UK.
He’s promising ‘classic school-day singalongs, heart-on-sleeve nostalgia, and the infectious joy that has made James a national favourite’.
Most recently, the teacher-turned-performer has been delighting audiences with his Big Christmas Assembly tour, playing to tens of thousands across the country.
James continues to teach primary school children during the week, then goes so far as to shut down the fields of Glastonbury with the crowds he pulls in.
He’s also had appearances on the likes of Chris Evans’ Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 2, The One Show, and Songs of Praise: The Big School Assembly Singalong.

From huge hits like ‘BE YOUR GIRL’, to his latest song with Pink Pantheress, Kaytranada’s run has been nothing short of iconic, and his live shows are guaranteed to be non-stop movement from start to finish.
The news follows his co-headline tour with Justice last year, and the release of his album AIN’T NO DAMN WAY!, which features songs including Grammy-nominated SPACE INVADER.
The 10-times-nominated, two-times Grammy award-winning artist will be heading to cities including London, Paris, and Birmingham.
Kaytranada will be supported in Manchester and on all European dates by Uncle Waffles.
