This article is about the music festival in Australia. For the music festival in the United Kingdom, see Parklife (festival).

Parklife Music Festival was an Australian music festival held between 2000-2013 in city parks around Australia in September/October.

History

Until 2012, Parklife was one of Australia's longest running and most popular music festivals.[1]

Starting in 2000, Parklife was known for its diverse, eclectic and ground-breaking line-ups, bringing live acts and dj's to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

Headline acts played in every city but the number of stages would vary from 3-5, depending on the city.

The last Parklife Festival was in 2013, when Promoters Fuzzy announced they were retiring the brand.[2] Organisers announced a new touring event called Listen Out, a national "intelligent dance event" which toured Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.
