Parklife 2025: ultimate guide to line-up, stage times, tickets and dates

Parklife 2025: ultimate guide to line-up, stage times, tickets and dates

Time Out14-06-2025

Parklife is one of the UK's finest festivals (according to Time Out). It's hosted the likes of Wu Tang Clan, Liam Gallagher and Snoop Dogg in years gone by, so naturally, this year's bill features even more of the planet's biggest stars.
The Manchester festival kicks off this weekend, with performances spanning multiple genres, from '90s hiphop to electronic, pop and dubstep. And if you're feeling spontaneous, there are still plenty of tickets to get your hands on. Here's everything you need to know ahead of Parklife 2025.
When is Parklife 2025?
Parklife is happening on June 14 and June 15. Gates open at 12pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday, finishing at 11pm.
Where is Parklife 2025 and how do I get there?
As always, the festival is taking place at Manchester's Heaton Park. The best way to get there is to hop on the dedicated shuttle bus, which goes from Lever Street in the city centre every 10 minutes, dropping punters right outside the festival site. The journey takes around 30 minutes. At the end of each day, it'll begin picking people up from the site at 6.30pm and keep running until the site is clear.
There are also the trams from Manchester Victoria to Heaton Park which run every six minutes, with the journey lasting 15 minutes.
If you download the Bee Network app, you can purchase the Parklife Travel Pass for £8 a day (or £14.85 for the weekend), which will let you get on any bus or tram service in Greater Manchester to get to and from the event.
Who are the headliners for Parklife 2025?
On Saturday night, the headline slot belongs to rapper 50 Cent. Then on Sunday, Charli xcx tops the bill.

Dominic Cummings: The British state is fundamentally broken

'He's the angriest man you'll ever meet,' Noel Gallagher once said of his brother, Liam. 'He's a man with a fork in a world of soup.' For those who don't know him, Dominic Cummings often appears afflicted with the same helpless rage – a maverick, furious with the broken world around him and armed with little more than the wrong cutlery. I don't even know if Cummings likes Oasis, the rock band that made Liam and Noel so famous in the 1990s that Tony Blair invited them to Downing Street. But one thing is true, Cummings is quietly plotting his own version of a comeback tour. The World of Soup beware. We meet in his elegant Islington town house, where he lives with his wife, the Spectator journalist Mary Wakefield. It's situated bang in the middle of the metropolitan, satisfied, liberal, elitist enclaves of the city he so regularly excoriates. The downstairs kitchen is a jumbled mess of family life, a rusting child's bike in the garden, comfy battered chairs and a list of school packed-lunch arrangements for his young son chalked on a blackboard. At the end of the garden hangs a large illustration depicting the final scene of the film Modern Times, where the Tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin, is seen walking into the distance with the Gamine, his companion. For a movie about the dehumanising risks of early-20th century industrialisation, it strikes a hopeful note of a better future. Next to it in the garden is a boxer's punch bag. And that sums up Dominic Mckenzie Cummings – a man motivated by a frustration so deep that one feels he often wants to hit something. And also a deeply held sense of optimism that there is something different and better both possible and coming. We can get there the easy way, or the hard way. 'The elites have lost touch' 'There's a bunch of obvious, relatively surface, phenomena, like the NHS, or the stupid boats, that are the visible manifestations of things not working,' Cummings, the former adviser to Boris Johnson and a man so divisive he could go by the title Lord Marmite, tells me. 'But I think what's happening at a deeper level is we are living through the same cycle that you see repeatedly in history play out, which is that over a few generations, the institutions and ideas of the elites start to come out of whack with reality. 'The ideas don't match, the institutions can't cope. And what you see repeatedly is this cycle of elite blindness, the institutions crumbling – and then suddenly crisis kicks in and then institutions collapse. 'In the short term no one can, I think, be reasonably optimistic about politics because the old system is just going to play out over the next few years. 'But there are reasons for hope though, right? One obvious reason for hope is that Britain is pretty much unique globally for having got through a few hundred years without significant political violence.' That seems a pretty low bar – the fact that the UK hasn't suffered a bloody revolution or a fascist or communist takeover. Following the Southport riots and the more recent events in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, I ask if the risks of widespread disorder are increasing – some have even spoken of civil war, a brutal revolution. 'Ummm,' Cummings pauses. '[Violence] is definitely a risk, but a lot of these things are very path-dependent. Countries that repeatedly have violence are more likely to have violence in the future. 'And countries that are good at avoiding it have a better chance of avoiding it. I think that the long term cultural capital that's built up over centuries is an important factor and gives us some chance of avoiding the fate that you can see [elsewhere] of just spreading mayhem all over the world.' It's hot sitting overlooking the garden and Cummings, 53 and 'fit-skinny', provides water in glasses better suited for a fine Burgundy. I point out that he is wearing Berghaus foot warmers despite the temperature nudging 30C. 'I don't get hot,' he replies. My colleague Cleo Watson, with me to record an edition of The Daily T podcast, says that he was known as the Vampire when they worked together in No 10, given his appearance of living in a body five degrees colder than everyone else's. Like Prince Andrew, he doesn't seem to sweat. When the production team's cameras overheat, Cummings is immediately up offering solutions of a fan jammed messily down the back of a sofa. Cummings is what management consultants would describe as 'a solutions-focused, completer, finisher'. Where there is a problem, he believes there is a fix. Whether it's overheating hardware or the dinghies bringing ever more people to the shores of England, all sensible (and clever) people need to do is prioritise it, work out the remedy and implement without fear. 'Stopping the boats is simple – but we need to leave the ECHR' 'Stopping the boats' – Rishi Sunak's promise to the voters which even he now admits was a three-word slogan too far – is now a lead weight around Keir Starmer's Government. The Prime Minister's 'smash the gangs' has been as hollow a claim as what went before. Both are metaphors for the deep malaise across politics, the visible manifestation of an inability to 'do anything'. 'Starmer has literally done exactly what Sunak did,' Cummings says, pointing out that the Labour election pledges of 'putting the grown ups in charge' and 'change from the chaos' has not stopped the forces of political and economic failure and decline. 'He stood up and said: 'This is a complete disaster. It's extremely bad for the country, and I am putting my personal authority behind solving it.' 'So are you going to actually stop the problem? No, of course not. Our actual priority is staying in the European Convention on Human Rights. You're not going to stop the boats, and the boats are just going to be a daily joke on social media and on TV.' Cummings is often criticised for lacking a nuance button – a bulldozer eyeing a system that needs the skill of a surgeon. Sunak said that the boats slogan made a complicated matter seem simple. Just like 'Take Back Control' and 'Get Brexit Done' – the three-word campaign rallying cries for the 2016 referendum and the 2019 election of Johnson both driven by Cummings. Cummings disagrees, seeing unnecessary complication as part of the ancien régime 's defence plan. Make everything appear un-fixable in order to maintain the bureaucratic system that keeps thousands of pen-pushers in their jobs. 'Solving the boats is both trivial and tricky in two different dimensions,' Cummings says. 'I went into this in extreme detail in 2020. Operationally, it's obviously simple to stop the boats. You can deploy the Navy, you can stop the boats. 'The entire problem is legal and constitutional. It's the interaction of how the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act and judicial review system works. 'There is complete agreement between specialists who studied this subject that it is not possible for the British Prime Minister now to deploy the Navy and do the things that you need to do in order to stop the boats. The courts will declare it unlawful because of the Human Rights Act. 'So you have to repeal the Human Rights Act. You have to state that you are withdrawing from the jurisdiction of the Strasbourg Court [the ECHR], you deploy the Navy and stop the boats and you say nobody is landing from these boats. Everyone we pick up will be dropped on an island somewhere. 'No one will be coming to mainland Britain. The boats will be destroyed and the people organising the boats are going to be put on a list for UK special forces to kill or capture the way that we do with various terrorist organisations.' Cummings is in his flow: controversial, blunt, clear. The questions tick over in my mind. How much will it cost? Which 'island'? 'Kill or capture?' via which legal authority, or maybe none. What about the laws of the high seas and the duty to rescue? For Cummings such probing is all so much 'blah, blah, blah' and that, in the end, all challenges can be worked through. The opposite, endless inaction and failure, Cummings argues – where we are now with a crisis on our shores – is worse. And voters can see it. 'As soon as you announce that is your policy and take serious steps to do it, the boats stop straight away because the people doing this are not ideological terrorists who want to die and get into a fight about this,' he continues. 'They're there to make money. So as soon as they realise, oh, an island nation is actually just going to stop these stupid boats, they're obviously going to send the people somewhere else.' 'Whitehall is fundamentally broken' He has a question for Starmer, for our MPs, for the Civil Service. 'Do you actually want to get to grips with the fundamental legal problems and security problems we have in this country or not? The consensus amongst MPs has been for 30 years – no. 'The country doesn't agree with them. Both parties have tried to keep going with the old way and tried to persuade people that it can be done differently. They failed, they've lost the country. The country wants these problems solved. It's going to happen. The ECHR is toast and we'll be out of it.' Starmer's U-turn on the need for an inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal is another case of system failure. Cummings points out that child sexual assault and rape perpetrated by predominantly Pakistani-heritage Muslim men was being raised by people like Tommy Robinson years ago but being ignored by the state. 'The whole wider Whitehall system is fundamentally broken and the people don't know what they're doing,' he says. 'I think in principle it's obviously correct that the country gets to grips with this absolutely horrific nightmare [which] the old system has essentially tried to ignore for many years, decades. 'However, the kind of inquiry is very important […] I think that any kind of normal inquiry led by a judge will be mostly a farce. It'll be easily played by Whitehall. They'll destroy documents. They'll delay and evade – the normal Whitehall approach will be applied.' Cummings says politics now is about priorities – what do you want to solve first and how do you solve it. Starmer's premiership 'vaporised on contact with Whitehall' because he does not understand the need for fundamental change in the whole system. 'There will be a lot of talk about how Starmer can reset, but at the heart of it, I simply think that – like Sunak – Starmer's fundamental core software patch ['tech lingo' for a computer update] is optimised for pats on the head from permanent secretaries [senior civil servants]. That's what he will keep tuning to, because he can't do anything else.' The Conservatives are holed, probably below the water line. 'The Tories are obviously going to get rid of Kemi [Badenoch]. The only question is whether they do it in the autumn or whether they wait until they're smashed up in the May elections. 'So she'll go, after which they'll either put in James Cleverly [the former Home Secretary], in which case, shut the party down – definitively game over. 'Or there will be one last attempt at 'are we over the cliff or are we not?' Can we somehow reboot ourselves?' I ask him if Robert Jenrick, the noisy, TikTok-friendly, shadow justice secretary who films himself apprehending fare dodgers on the Tube, could execute such a reboot. 'He's obviously the person who everyone's talking about for a simple reason – the rest of the shadow cabinet are literally invisible. No one even knows who any of them are. Even people who are interested in politics don't know who they are.' And so to the big question, Nigel Farage and the plausible route to No 10. The two famously fell out (Farage called Cummings 'a horrible, nasty little man') over the referendum campaign, but more recently a rapprochement of sorts has happened, with Cummings having dinner with Farage before Christmas and backing Reform in the recent local elections. 'I thought it was interesting that he wanted to talk about the Cabinet Office and how power really works,' Cummings said of the December meeting. 'He said: 'I've never been in government myself. I've never been a minister. I don't know how it works. I'm now an MP though, and I talk to other MPs and it's clear they don't understand how it works and they still seem very curious about it and it's odd that they don't seem to know how power actually works inside the Cabinet Office.' 'The fundamental question is, does Nigel want to be Prime Minister in 2029? And if he does, is he prepared to build the thing that you need to build to do that? Which intrinsically involves turning Reform into an entity that can go out and engage with the country and bring in all these wonderful people and get some fraction of them involved with politics at the senior level. 'That's the core question. If he does that, then the whole system will undergo profound shock and it'll be a big deal and I'll be irrelevant to it. And if he doesn't do it, he will just be signalling this is the same old shambles and something else will grow.' Like Margaret Thatcher in the 1970s, Cummings understands the need for deep policy work, deep management and delivery reform that means the end of a 'permanent' Civil Service and attention to how you communicate in a way that is truthful and that voters understand. Can Farage find the equivalent of the Centre for Policy Studies? Who is Reform's Sir Keith Joseph? Who is the Maurice Saatchi? I sense Cummings is not convinced Farage has the ability to move beyond 'the guy with an iPhone' and a provocative soundbite. I ask if he would help Reform and, though open, it seems, to any conversation, Cummings knows that Farage has his loyalists and many of them do not like the high-intellect of the guy with a first in Ancient and Modern History from Exeter College, Oxford University. Being a Reform Spartan brooks little room for compromise. 'Change means tearing down the old and building something new' So far, 2025 has been the year Cummings, who now runs his own consultancy, becomes a little more visible – a gentle public relaunch. The interviews are coming more regularly and two weeks ago he gave the Pharos Lecture at Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre. He has attached himself to the Looking for Growth group, a grassroots movement of entrepreneurs led by the academic, Lawrence Newport, who has also put his name to the Crush Crime initiative to radically rethink law and order failings. 'If, in a year from now, it's obvious things have just sunk even further and can't actually change, then I think you'll see a burst of energy from a whole bunch of people saying, OK, right, let's start something new,' Cummings, who is wearing a Looking for Growth cap throughout our interview, says. 'And I think you'll see people from Labour defecting to join it. I think you'll see Tories and Reform people – but, crucially, a whole set of people who are now not involved with politics. We can't go on like this in 2029, in the election, and then have another four years with a bunch of these bozos in charge.' Cummings has spoken of his own start-up party, which remains a possibility, though he gently side-steps whether it might happen any time soon. 'It will certainly not be led by me. And certainly not chaired by me,' is all he will say. I would wager a £5 note that he will be involved if and when the old parties irrevocably fail. Cummings' analysis has clarity. Close the Treasury and the Cabinet Office; rip out the stultifying conformity of the Civil Service and end the job for life culture; make presently 'fake' ministers responsible for the decisions they take; encourage in the young, new talent that presently sees 'tech, maths and money' as more appealing than running the country; bring immigration down 'to the thousands'; embrace AI ('Westminister is always the last place to see anything'); overthrow the stale old media, including the BBC; understand that the public see traditional politics as peopled by incompetents, liars and cheats, and build a new, liberal, libertarian world where the market of good ideas is all that matters. Maybe Dominic Cummings should be prime minister? 'That's a laughable suggestion,' he replies. But all the Labour, Conservative and Reform MPs who regularly contact Cummings 'for a chat' are sure he will have a role. Because the World of Soup is coming to an end. And we're going to need some people with forks to work our way to a new future.

Anais Gallagher admits she hasn't inherited the family's musical gene as she reveals dad Noel's brutal response

Anais Gallagher admitted that she hasn't inherited the family's musical gene as she spoke in a new interview on Sunday. The daughter of Oasis star Noel revealed her dad's brutal response to her talent's after he attended a recital. Oasis are set to reunite in July for their first tour in 16 years, after Noel, 58, and his brother Liam, 52, finally buried the hatchet after a decades-long estrangement. Speaking about her own musical abilities, Anais, 25, told The Mirror: 'It's safe to say there is not an inherent Gallagher musical gene. 'My dad came to see a few of my recitals and he swiftly was like, "Maybe it's not for you."' The Manchester band has been busy rehearsing the past few days, and new details about their reunion shows have been revealed. According to reports Oasis will be joined on stage by cellos and violins for some of their songs. Insiders told The Sun: 'The live orchestra will add a cinematic element to their sound and elevate some harmonies. It won't take away from the band, just boost the sound.' Anais is said to have helped bring the estranged siblings back together after 'planting the idea' of a reconciliation. She is is also said to have helped piece together the set list and give an insight into what younger fans might want to hear. Oasis split following a backstage disagreement between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events over the past decade. Oasis brothers Liam and Noel returned to the stage together for the first time since their reunion tour was announced last year. But rather than being the result of hours of rehearsals ahead of their first show on July 4, the brothers recreated the look that helped solidify the Britpop movement, with a new campaign for sporting brand Adidas. A brand new image, posted on Adidas' social media on Thursday, showed the duo dressed in specially designed pieces boasting their band's name, and was captioned: 'The band with three stripes.' And in a three-minute advert that was broadcast on Channel 4, the 1994 Oasis anthem Live Forever can be heard, and there are scenes reminiscent of the band's early gigs, with fans dressed in new Adidas pieces boasting the band's famous logo. A tamborine can be heard hitting ice, and Liam's voice says: 'There are days when you are in the zone, you know what I mean? 'You just stand perfectly still while there's all this chaos going on around you. Not feeling the need to join in the madness, just thinking, this is the best feeling in the world. Just absolutely still.' Viewers then see Liam and Noel heading to the stage to play a gig, and the final shot of the ad features the pair reunited and posing together. Taking inspiration from the styles that Oasis immortalised in the 90's - the adidas Originals x Oasis Live '25 collection features a co-branded 26-piece range of timeless adidas staples in various colours. The pair are no strangers to working with the sports brand, with their appearance helping to synonimise the Britpop phenomenon The collection includes Firebird tracksuits (a favourite of Noel's), raglan sleeve jerseys (iconically worn by Liam in a 90's charity football match), bucket hats and coach jackets (a style featured on Liam in the ad). Adidas' VP Brand Chris Walsh said: 'Adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style.

The truth behind Liam and Noel's Adidas photoshoot that left Oasis fans in a frenzy as insiders reveal pair spent just 14 MINUTES in the same building

It's a picture Oasis fans were ecstatic to see – Noel and Liam Gallagher stand together to seemingly put their feud behind them. The Adidas photo sparked such a frenzy, the sportswear company's new range of Oasis-branded clothing sold out almost instantly in the run-up to the band's tour, which starts in Cardiff on July 4. But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Liam's photoshoot in east London was at 11.30am and Noel's an hour later. They spent just 14 minutes in the building at the same time – which must have meant computer wizardry was used to combine the images. A source close to Oasis said: 'It looks like two guys casually posing up in sportswear but that was far from the reality. 'It took a huge amount of logistics to get the final images together and tiptoeing around some unusual demands. 'If you look at the picture you'd think they were standing next to one another, but they weren't. 'It isn't known whether they were purposely avoiding one another or if their schedules didn't allow it – perhaps it was a bit of both. But it isn't the dream snap the fans would have loved to see.' Noel, 58, arrived alone in a blue top from the Adidas collection and quickly got on with the job. Liam, 52, flanked by a large entourage including a bodyguard, was given a tour of the set. He also had his own dressing room across the road. Noel didn't. Oasis fans had feared they would never see the brothers in the same room again after they fell out spectacularly following a backstage fight in Paris in 2009. Noel said at the time: 'I could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' He added later: 'He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' But last August the brothers announced Oasis were reforming for a string of concerts, netting them an estimated £100million. Any chance of the duo rekindling an off-stage relationship seems unlikely.
