Frank Ocean is headlining Parklife 2017

It’s been revealed that Frank Ocean will be headlining this year’s Parklife Festival in Manchester.

The news was broken on Nick Grimshaw’s BBC Radio 1 breakfast show, confirming that the R&B star would be bringing his latest album ‘Blonde’ to the event. It’s not a total surprise – Frank’s ‘Nikes’ was the inspiration behind Parklife’s teaser campaign, hinting that he’d be appearing at the event. In case you missed it, he’s also set to play at Lovebox on 14th July, a London festival exclusive.

More acts for the festival will be announced soon.

Parklife takes place between 10th-11th June at Heaton Park, Manchester. Tickets go on general sale from 9am on Thursday 2nd February. Watch Frank’s video for ‘Nikes’ below.
