Parklife 2023 - completed it.
Not even the threat of thunder and lightning could deter this year's Parklife festival crowd. Sure, it was a bit of a pain when the yellow weather warnings came to fruition, but once the storm had passed, festival-goers came out in force.
Over on the Parklife Stage, Flo displayed a masterclass in tight choreography and flawless vocals backed by a live band that elevated the songs. Each member had a chance to shine as they serenaded the steadily growing crowd with songs like Feature Me, Immature and Losing You. And then the heavens opened as thunderstorms and torrential rain forced Parklife to make a ‘full show stop’. But as anyone who has attended the festival before will know, a little bit of rain - well a lot - wasn't about to stop this party. Soon enough the sun made a reappearance, and a reinvigorated Parklife crowd kicked into gear.
With a grand introduction and much hype, Wu-Tang brought the ruckus to Heaton Park with a full band and a bag full of classics. It’s a busy stage with RZA out first on stage as hype man before bringing out GZA, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa and U-God. "We're The 1975 from Wilmslow Cheshire", declares Matty Healy, The 1975's frontman, as they take to the Parklife Stage. White lab coat on, hip flask - and later fag - in hand, the crowd can hardly contain themselves, and all he's done is state his address. Alas, we may have underestimated the power of The 1975's fan base.
Fan favourites such as tootimetootimetootime, Oh Caroline, Somebody Else and The Sound all went off, while girls could be seen crying happy tears to I Wanna Die - the emotions clearly running high. And yes there was gyrating - lots of it - but if you looked out to the crowd, swaying, dancing, and crying happy tears - there really couldn't have been a more apt ending for this year's Parklife stage.
