Parklife

Overview

A recent survey showed that satisfaction with festivals are at an all time low, and ticket holders are saying that douchebags without shirts on are ruining it for the rest of us. I may be wrong, but I have an inkling that Parklife's organisers have known about this for years, and have just started to take it on board. Parklife has gone from an all-out fluoro fest to an actual legit event with some actual legit names. This combo equals less douches - because we all know douches don't like good music - and less douches means more satisfaction! There's something for everyone this year: for real music lovers, the lineup includes Gossip, Lykke Li, Death From Above 1979, Kimbra, Santigold and The Streets, and for all of you who like to get drunk and listen to music, there's something for you too! Listen to the one song you know by Adrian Lux, The Naked and Famous, and Duck Sauce! Oh, and never fear, rich kids, there is also the Ridiculously Expensive Ticket still up for grabs. You get a slip and slide entry, a personal rider, a ‘Coming to America’ style chair as transport, side of stage views, and a drinks caddie, all for the low low price of seven thousand big ones!

It's time to get your Barbra Streisand face on and get down to the Botanical Gardens this weekend, even if it is to see if anyone does buy that ridiculously expensive ticket.
