Manchester: Get Ready For The Parklife Weekender
Next weekend sees the Parklife Weekender returning to Manchester featuring some of the biggest names in the music industry. From electronic, to rock and hip-hop, it's quickly become one of the most popular festivals in the UK.
Now held at Heaton Park on June 8th-9th following last year's move from Platt Fields, Parklife attracts thousands of music fans with one of the most exciting lineups of the festival calendar. The 2014 event sees headline performances from the one and only Snoop Dogg, as well as Foals, Bastille, Rudimental, Disclosure, Rudimental and many more of the finest up and coming acts in the music industry across the weekend.
As one of the UK's largest inner-city music festivals, getting to the festival will be very busy. The festival site has limited parking and festival organisers have recommended using public transport to get to the festival. Phil Stockford, the Highways Agency's Events Planning Manager, said to ITV News: “We aren't expecting significant congestion issues but with limited on-site parking and no park-and-ride facilities we are urging people to use public transport rather than drive to the park.â€
He also added: “In the past we have had congestion caused by people stopping on the motorway to drop off or pick up concert-goers. We would like to remind drivers and concert-goers that, as well as being dangerous, this is an offence and anyone doing this risks an on-the-spot fine or prosecution by the police.â€
