Parklife has recently announced their 2023 headliners. With big names including the likes of The 1975, Aitch, Fred Again, Prodigy and Wu-Tang Clan set to take centre stage in June, the line-up has caused a stir among excited fans.
Ticket sellers, Skiddle analysed the Parklife lineup to compare the cost of the featured artists headlining, revealing that festival goers are saving £672 on average with such heavy hitters on the main stage.
Data revealed that just a selection of the headliners including Wu-Tang Clan (usually £49), Skrillex (£53), and Nas (£51) combined would cost £807 for a ticket to their live show, a whopping 5.9x the worth of the average ticket RRP (£135).
The data analysed the cost of singular tickets to see the top headlining artists in concert to compare the real cost of a Parklife ticket for the number of acts you get to see over one weekend.
This cost is only for the top 14 headliners, with all artists included in the lineup is estimated to be over £1.5k in total – all the more reason to grab a ticket this weekend.

Top tips for securing tickets
Early bird gets the worm
Look out for any pre-sale or early bird access opportunities for the show you’re interested in getting tickets for. Signing up for notifications ensures you don’t miss any sale opportunities. Skiddle’s ‘Remind Me’ feature allows you to sign up for notifications on events you are interested in before tickets have gone on general sale.
Be prepared
Set alarms or reminders up to 30 mins before the tickets are due to go on sale to allow time to join the virtual queue. Get your laptop, phone or whatever device you want to purchase the tickets on loaded up and ready to go. Ensure your device is connected to wifi to minimise the chances of anything going wrong.
Maximise your chances
Load up a second device you could use to try and purchase the tickets on. If you have a friend that’s available, see if they can also log on to try and bag the tickets on your behalf.
Smooth sailing
You may find that you have a time limit to complete the purchase once you have selected your tickets. Make sure that you are logged into a pre-created account, with your card details saved so that you can checkout quickly without having to search for your wallet and input card details.
Don’t lose faith
If you don’t manage to secure tickets in the first release don’t be disheartened. Many artists will have multiple ticket sale releases and will often announce additional show dates due to the large demand. Pro tip: sign up for the show waiting list if there is one to be notified of any additional ticket sale dates.
