However, those heading to the site are being warned to plan ahead as travel plans could be disrupted due to Metrolink strikes taking place over the weekend.
Here is everything you need to know about how to get to and from Parklife this weekend.
By car and drop-off
Motorists have been warned of increased congestion and various road closures around the festival site over the weekend.
Roads will be busiest as fans make their way to the site from 10.30am to 4.30pm and after the end of the event from 10.30pm to 12.30am on both days.
Parklife festival is located at Heaton Park, so if you're driving and parking up, the address to put into your satnav is Lakeside Car Park on Sheepfoot Lane, M25 2SW, but if you're dropping someone off its best to head to Sainsburys on Middleton Road.
