Set to take place at Heaton Park again this year on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th June, Parklife will again welcome a deluge of artists to perform to over 150,000 people across the two days. Read more about the 14 projects involved.
Made up from a small percentage of the ticket sales from last year’s festival, the fund will be distributed between five or six local causes based on a vote by attendees of the meeting, which will see 14 organisations deliver a three minute long pitch on how they would use the money being offered. Looking to do just that, Parklife will be giving a little back to the local community in Prestwich this year, with several projects set to be given a share of over £5000 allocated to the festival’s 2017 Community Fund.
With tension often palpable between festival organisers and people living in the surrounding area, the key to longevity for music festivals may well rest upon the maintenance of positive relations with the wider community. Festivals tend to be noisy affairs, and often whilst thousands of party-lovers flock to enjoy hours of music in the summer sun, the local residents are less enamoured with the weekend festivities.
