Ahead of Manchester City’s big Champions League match against Inter Milan this evening, the local football team has received the honour of having the first song played at this year’s Parklife be in tribute to them.
As gates to Heaton Park opened at 11am, DJ Rich Reason boomed out Frank Sinatra’s swing classic Blue Moon on the decks of the Parklife stage in dedication to the club’s recent successes whilst 70,000 people entered the park.
Artists including RAYE, Little Simz, and Manchester-based rapper Aitch will be performing on the main stage throughout the day, whilst Fred Again…, Groove Armada, Skrillex, Annie Mac, and Peggy Gou will all be appearing across the festival’s nine stages today.
