Charli XCX’s Brat Summer will be coming back for a second round in 2025 – and London won’t be hogging all the fun (Charli was announced as a day festival headliner in the capital this week). Today (November 26) we have exciting news, as Charli XCX will be headlining Parklife in June.

After several days of teasing – with ‘PL25’ Brat-green posters popping up in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Birmingham – Charli XCX has been confirmed as the first headliner of Parklife 2025. The legendary Manchester fest will return to Heaton Park on the weekend of June 14-15.

Parklife usually announces its lineups in January but appears to have made an exception for Charli. And she isn’t the only name that’s been announced: Confidence Man, Interplanetary Criminal, salute and DJ Heartstring are other names who’ve been confirmed so far.
