You can always count on Manchester to bring a bit of rain - no matter what the occasion. And the same could be said for the start of Parklife today (June 11).
There were just a few clouds hanging above Heaton Park when doors opened at 11am, but festival-goers were met with the very occasional spit of rain just as the party got underway. With ponchos and umbrella hats already stocked up on, it was merely a shift fashion change and continuing on with the celebrations.
Thankfully, the sun has already made multiple appearances with the weather forecast predicting that the 'mixed bag' of weather could continue throughout the day.
