Let it begin. Pepsi MAX presents Parklife returns in 2026 to do what it does best. Global superstars. Pioneering icons of pop culture. The voices and figures shaping the here and now. Those essential names soundtracking the parties, nights and streets of the world. Let Parklife lead the way as it all begins again for a summer date in the diary that can only be described in one way: essential.
Taking over the legendary Heaton Park, it’s Manchester to the world in a city always at the forefront of what comes next. Each and every year Parklife comes to represent where a generation finds its moments and the artists capturing a moment in time for youth culture. 2026 is set to be no different, with a festival that opens its doors to make sure all can experience it. As the best-value major festival in the UK (with full weekend tickets starting at just £138.50, day tickets at just £85 and payment plan options beginning from just £20 per instalment), Parklife is for the people.
Leading the stacked 2026 lineup is a figurehead in not just modern dance music, but music in general. 13 years on from his last Manchester tour date, Calvin Harris headlines Parklife 2026 bringing his unrivalled run of universally love dance bangers to Heaton Park for what’s sure to be a roadblock celebration of an icon. Whether it’s ‘One Kiss’, ‘We Found Love’, ‘I’m Not Alone’, ‘This Is What You Came For’, ‘Promises’, ‘Blame’, ‘Blessings’… the list is endless, it’s guaranteed to be summer-defining. Running with that baton as THE breakthrough name of the past 12 months is Sammy Virji, who heads to Heaton Park ready for a showstopping moment. One of the most pioneering figures of UK rap and Grime, Skepta hits up 0161 with a bold new era on the horizon and a catalogue running across UK Grime history poised to set Heaton Park alight, whilst superstar pop hits the big-time as Zara Larsson continues her ascent to the very top at Parklife 2026 as she makes her debut.
Continuing Parklife’s commitment to making huge festival moments accessible to as many fans as possible, tickets for Parklife 2026 start from just £139.50 for the entire weekend. For those looking for the ultimate experience at Heaton Park this summer, the acclaimed VIP Area from 2025 returns in 2026 – offering hillside views of the iconic Valley Stage alongside a range of further benefits in the heart of the festival.
