Music: Parklife announces plans to change festival dates for first time in its history

For the first time in its ten year history, Parklife has revealed plans to move dates for its 2021 festival from June until September. This date change – from its usual early summer slot to Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September – follows the recent progress surrounding a COVID-19 vaccine which has reassured festival organisers that their 2021 events may still be able to go ahead.

“With all the good recent news, we’re now looking ahead to 2021, and a return to the fields and good times we love. It’s a party 2 years in the making that we all deserve,” read a statement from the Parklife organisers accompanying this recent news. “It’s why with that in mind that we have decided to move next year’s festival to the new dates of 11th-12th September, so we can be sure of the good times coming. A huge lineup is almost ready, that we can’t wait to show you in January. Trust us when we say it’s going to be worth the wait.
