Charli XCX Confirmed as Parklife 2025 Headliner

Charli XCX is set to headline Greater Manchester’s Parklife festival next summer. The singer will perform on stage at Heaton Park, Manchester, as part of the two-day music event scheduled for June 14-15, 2025. She will be joined by a range of other artists, including Confidence Man, DJ Heartstring, Salute presents True Vision, and Interplanetary Criminal. The complete line-up is expected to be revealed in January, with projections indicating over 80,000 attendees throughout the weekend. Charli XCX’s sixth album, “Brat,” launched in June, achieving critical success globally, while a recent remix album reached the top of the UK charts in October. The album’s minimalist artwork—featuring the word “Brat” styled in a low-resolution Arial font on a lime-green background—became a widely adopted template for memes, with both individuals and businesses participating in the “brat summer” trend. The concept of ‘brat’ was embraced by some fans as a rejection of the “clean girl” aesthetic, which gained popularity on TikTok. “Brat” was also selected as Collins Dictionary’s word of the year.
