Here’s our rundown of the artists that make Parklife 2017 unmissable. No drip-filter line-up release and little teasing of artists, other than the occasional ‘special guest’ slots in the bill, they’ve unleashed well over 100 names that will play Heaton Park in Manchester this June. ![]() Parklife have done things in style again.
