Parklife organisers confirm new dates for 2021 festival
Organisers for Manchester's Parklife festival have announced new dates for next year's event in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Parklife usually takes place at Manchester's Heaton Park in June, but today (7 December) Parklife organisers have announced new dates for the 2021 event in the hope of not having to postpone/cancel the festival due to coronavirus concerns.
The Manchester-based festival will take place from 11-12 September 2021, and will announce the lineup in January.
Organisers wrote on socials, "We can’t wait to celebrate a show two years in the making. Things are feeling good right now and to ensure we get to dance together in 2021 we have decided to move the dates to 11th & 12th September 2021."
