Police appeal following violent disorder at Parklife

Police are seeking the public’s help in an investigation of violent disorder which occurred at the Parklife music event in Heaton Park last year.

It is believed that a fight occurred on Sunday, June 9, near the Hangar Stage.

Footage of the incident later emerged online and while no serious injuries have been reported, police would like to identify those involved.

Anyone who may have been at the event or has crucial information, is asked to come forward.

Officers are keen to speak to the people pictured, as it’s believed that they can assist with the investigation.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “Every year we work closely with event organisers and partners to keep those attending the event safe, and minimise disruption to local communities, and this year will be no different.

“The vast majority of those attending last year’s event had a safe and enjoyable experience, but given the violent nature of this isolated event, it’s important that we do everything possible to identify those involved, and deal with them as firmly as possible.”

If you have any information which could assist the enquiry, contact police on 101 quoting log 1159 of 09/06/2024. Alternatively, to report anonymously, call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
