Parklife Festival by Max Miechowski
Parklife Festival is returning to Heaton Park in Manchester between September 11th-12th.
Dave, Megan Thee Stallion, Disclosure, Skepta, Jamie xx, Bicep, Four Tet, Mabel, slowthai, Little Simz, Celeste, Pa Salieu and CamelPhat are all on the bill for the comeback of Parklife Festival later this year.
The announcement marks a step-up for Dave to headline status, reward for the stellar work which brought a Mercury Prize win in 2019 for Psychodrama.
“Drama is angry, bitter, emotive,” our review reads. “But more importantly, Drama is crystal clear in what it’s trying to convey.”
“Telling of the heartbreak and challenges he and his family have faced, Dave scrutinises the impact and fallout from these moments and how they have driven him.”
“Lesley is a bold, conceptual piece of epic storytelling. A story that takes as long as it needs to take. Every second of the song’s 11 minutes is integral, rolling through powerful, moving, heartbreaking moments like some powerful hip-hop opera – it’s nothing short of staggering and like nothing else out there right now.”
