With just 12 weeks to go until the Parklife Weekender 2012, the festival is well on its way to a third consecutive sell out at Platt Fields Park.

Promoters have now confirmed that 2012 will be the festival’s final year at its current location, as plans to grow the event supersede the potential of the current venue.

Parklife Weekender co-promoter Sam Kandel comments:

Platt Fields provided a great start for The Parklife Weekender and we’ve been really grateful. 

In 2010 when Parklife was just an idea, it was really an unknown as to whether it would work. If we had known only three years on we would be moving onto a new site to develop and grow the festival to meet demand – it would have saved many sleepless nights! 

The park hosted our launch year and last summer’s expansion to a full weekend festival and will always hold fond memories from ourselves and our customers alike. 

A new location is not yet confirmed but plans are in the pipeline. In the meantime we’re really looking forward to bidding farewell to Platt Fields in style. 

Goodbye Platt Fields."
