After months of anticipation, yesterday, festival-goers were given a glimpse of the first major acts set to perform at Parklife 2024. The annual music event is the UK's biggest metropolitan festival and is known for bringing in some of the biggest global acts.
Marking the start of the summer festival season, this year's event will take place at Heaton Park on June 8-9. Leading the lineup is American rapper and singer Doja Cat, whose set at Parklife this year will be her first ever at a UK festival.
Also on the bill, English electronic duo Disclosure will take to the stage in a UK festival exclusive performance, as well as Mercury Prize-nominated rapper and singer J Hus. Music fans will also be treated to performances from pop royalty Sugababes, producer Kaytranada, and chart topping singer Becky Hill.

As you might expect, Early Bird tickets for Parklife sold out in rapid time back in December as festival organisers introduced a reduction in tickets prices, with passes for the weekend starting from just £125. Demand for this year's festival is also likely to be high, but fortunately, those looking to bag tickets have several chances to nab theirs.
There are two separate pre-sale ticket sales running over the next few days, before general sale tickets go live on Friday morning (January 26) at 10am on both Ticketmaster and SeeTickets. And the first of those pre-sales starts today.
From 10am today, customers of mobile network Three will be able grab tickets for up to 48 hours. As part of Three’s sponsorship of some of the UK’s biggest and best festivals, Three+ members will be able to enjoy exclusive onsite rewards & experiences at the festival.
To access the presale, music fans need to have downloaded and registered on the Three+ app before presale opens. Tickets will be offered on a first come, first served basis, so customers will want to get in line early to avoid disappointment.
