How do I get to Parklife 2025?

When I went to Parklife in 2023, I took the Megabus from London to Manchester—and let me tell you, it was an adventure in itself! I left on the morning of the festival at 8:30 AM and arrived at 12:40 PM, making it a smooth 4 hours and 10 minutes by bus.

For anyone making the trip from London this year, it’s worth noting that driving takes about the same time—roughly 4 hours. So, whether you’re catching a ride or hopping on the bus, make sure to get plenty of rest the night before and during your journey, because you’ve got a long, epic day ahead of you!
