Charli XCX will headline Greater Manchester’s Parklife festival next summer.
The singer will take to the stage in Heaton Park, Manchester, as part of the two-day music event between 14-15 June 2025.
She joins a swathe of other artists including Confidence Man, DJ Heartstring, Salute presents True Vision, and Interplanetary Criminal.
The full line-up will be unveiled in January, with more than 80,000 people expected to attend across the weekend.
Charli XCX’s sixth album, Brat, was released in June, becoming a critical hit worldwide, while a recent remix album topped the UK charts in October.
The album’s minimalistic album art – with the word Brat stylised in a low-resolution Arial font on a lime-green background – became a template for a spate of memes, with individuals and businesses jumping on the brat summer trend.
The idea of ‘brat’ was adopted by some fans as a rejection of the “clean girl” aesthetic, popularised on TikTok.
Brat was also chosen as Collins Dictionary word of the year.
