Councillor Mike Amesbury, Manchester City Council's executive member for culture and leisure said: "The centenary year of Platt Fields Park is packed full of fantastic events to suit all ages and tastes and Parklife Festival in particular will be the perfect start to the summer for our younger members of the community - and some of the older ones as well. We are extremely experienced at hosting high profile events of this nature and will be making the safety of party goers and the surrounding community our number one priority. Due to its location, there is very limited parking at Platt Fields Park but it is situated on one of Manchester's main bus routes within easy reach of the city centre and surrounding areas so I would encourage anyone coming to the concert to travel by public transport." A limited number of early bird tickets available priced at £25 (full price £29.50), for anyone over the age of 16. A limited number of 1,000 weekend tickets (for this and The Warehouse Project Presents which happens the day before) will also be available priced at £55 each. Tickets will go on sale from 9am, Thursday 17th March and eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then. published: 00:10 (GMT)
