Parklife 2016 was probably one of the best weekends of the summer! Not only was it my first trip to Manchester but it was my first 2 day festival and it was epic!
When we arrived it was pouring with rain and the park was a total washout for the first half of the day, but that didn’t stop us from pouring glitter all over ourselves, backing shots and dancing in the downpour with mud almost up to our knees!
This festival is huge spanning most of Heaton Park so finding our bearings on day one took a while, but as soon as we heard the sounds of dance, drum and base, house and jungle we were in our element. By 10pm we were so worn out but still gassed for the next day ahead.
Day 2 was by far the best – not only cos rain was practically non existent but knowing where all the tents were and the time the acts were gonna be on, we were able to enjoy performances from DJ EZ, David Rodigan, Chase and Status and so many others.
By the end of day 2 I was basically written off but it was so worth it! Yes I had to throw away boots from the mud, suffer on the train home due to pure exhaustion and have glitter in my skin for days after, but it was the best 2 days and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
In a nutshell Parklife is LIT and I cant wait to go back in 2017!
I don’t have one of those fancy videos, so heres my snapchat story from day 1. A lil entertainment for you guys
