Parklife Weekender 2012

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I've searched & can't find a relevant topic for this festival, so I thought I'd start my own, (I apologise in advance if there is already one)

Has anyone been before?...If so what's it like? In regards to the general atmosphere etc...

Also, can anyone help to shed any light on set times for the different stages? As a lot of the bands I want to see seem to clash, so I'd prefer to know in advance.

Can't help other than to say I am also attending for the Mighty Lips...

Being originally from Manc (Denton - about 5 miles away) I can tell you that the area around Platt's field has a large student population so my guess would be that there will be a lot of undergraduates there. A natural assumption from that would be that the atmosphere would be vibrant with a fairly young, energetic and excitable crowd.

Of course it's also adjacent to Moss side but I'm kind of hoping the gun toting drug dealers will be doing something else that weekend.

No idea if I'm going yet. The blighters like to cut it close when it comes to press pass allocation.

I've been the previous 2 years, It's got a big student demographic as oblong pointed out the park is in a student dominated area.

There's a good lively atmosphere however sometimes the volume was to low for my liking, I could have a discussion with my mates without struggling to hear during most the weekend, and on the sunday they turned the music off for over an hour due to the local church.
