Coachella, the annual music and arts festival held in the Colorado Desert, California, has most likely been clogging up your social media feeds these past couple of weeks but alas the event has come to an end. However, if you were green with envy as some of your favourite artists took to the stage at the Californian festival, you may be in luck as some performers from the Coachella line-up are heading to Heaton Park for Parklife, Manchester’s biggest music festival. We might not have the same weather as California here in Manchester, but with a big wheel, big name acts and big energy to match, Parklife gives Coachella a good run for its money!
At this year’s Parklife, over 100 names will be spread across multiple stages plus there will be a brand new stage, Matinée, featuring a 360° DJ booth, as well as a more central location for VIP & Backstage areas.
All the Coachella festival artists performing at Parklife 2025
Charli XCX
Avant-pop superstar Charli XCX is undeniably one of the most celebrated and talked about artist of the past 12 months. Following on from her Coachella appearance, the singer will be making her debut appearance at the festival at top of the Parklife 2025 line-up in one of only a few select UK shows in 2025. Brat Summer 2.0, here we come!
Chris Stussy
This year, Dutch DJ Chris Stussy performed at Coachella for the second time and it will also be his second appearance at Parklife this summer too.

Lola Young
Adding to the chart-topping artists of the moment is Lola Young, who will also be taking to the Parklife stage this summer following on from her Coachella performance. The singer best known for song Messy will be swapping the hot, sandy Californian desert for the Northern green space of Heaton Park.

Parklife 2025 is one of only two UK festivals that salute is set to bring their immersive production show, True Vision, to Heaton Park this summer.
