#PARKLIFE 2016 FESTIVAL CRACKER#
Their first single ‘Charlamagne’ is a cracker and it was so nice to hear them dedicate this song to the the late Viola Beach who tragically died in a car accident earlier this year. In my opinion they’re a cross between The Kooks and Jake Bugg. Blossoms are a relatively unknown and new band on the British music scene but they have something with their catchy electronic riffs. Now, if you haven’t listened to them, load up your Spotify player and LISTEN NOW. It was then time to switch up the tone to some indie rock as we headed to another tent to see Blossoms. Craig’s trainers were seriously fresh and white…I know you were dying to know that. I found myself sat on a sturdy pair of shoulders high above the roaring crowd in a seriously sweaty tent singing along to ‘7 days’ and ‘Fill Me In’ – How else would you want to spend a Saturday? Ps. The first act on Saturday’s agenda was Craig David, as a firm appreciator of 00s garage music, this was so welcome. All of this was of course layered under a plastic poncho and thrown together in the shop. After a cheeky trip into Manchester city centre, brunch at the infamous Fig + Sparrow and a raid of Primark, on the second day I wore a pair of ripped knee, Topshop Joni jeans with an oversized striped tee and a faux suede waistcoat. On the first day, I styled my wellies up with tights, my favourite leopard print shift dress and a cropped denim jacket. The general look at Parklife was seriously Coachella inspired with plenty of off the shoulder bardot tops, denim shorts, glitter bindi’s and braids. The weather was rough, after a week of seriously hot, balmy days on the morning of the first day, the heavens opened and I knew I would have to cast my snake print Vans aside and work the wellies. I have to say, up until earlier this year I hadn’t heard of the weekend festival held at Heaton Park in Manchester, as a seasoned Leeds Fest go-er (There’s a seriously old blog post all about my experiences hereif you want a giggle) I was interested to see how a festival that you don’t camp at would fare. Those were just a few of the things that made Parklife 2016 pretty darn ah-mazing. Last weekend I found myself quite literally knee deep in mud, bouncing up and down in the pouring rain to ‘It was a good day’ by Ice Cube and making my world spin 42 metres above the ground. Make Parklife your ultimate Joburg experience this April.Įarly Bird Tickets are R295 and on sale now from. This April celebrates the 5 th Parklife Festival in Jozi and anyone who has attended the previous festivals knows that Parklife has rooted itself as one of Joburg’s top events with its relaxed and fun-loving atmosphere. The Food Village will exceed its great reputation for bringing guests innovative, delicious offerings across a range of culinary styles from some of the most exciting foodies in the country. Parklife will once again host artists from a variety of genres across three different stages, including the Electronic Music Stage, and as important as the music is so is the food. The line-up will also include three international acts: Jasmine Thompson (from the UK) who’s dominating radio with the single ‘Fast Car’ and also well-known for featuring on the Robin Schulz hit ‘Sun Goes Down’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better)’ with Felix Jaehn Deep House DJ FlicFlac (from Germany) and singer/songwriter James Hersey(from Austria).
