There is a chance there might even be a bit of sunshine… (!)
It’s set to be a big weekend for Manchester with a host of huge events taking place across the next couple of days.
Alongside big gigs from the likes of Lily Allen and The B-52’s, as well as major netball and cricket events at the Co-op Live and Emirates Old Trafford, the city will also be welcoming over 100,000 fans for both Parklife and Take That.
The annual music festival Parklife will be returning to Heaton Park on Saturday and Sunday for major performances from big names like Skepta, Zara Larsson, Calvin Harris, Nia Archives, and Chris Stussy.

Meanwhile, Take That will also be playing the Etihad Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with their major The Circus Live 2026 tour, which has been hailed as a spiritual revival of their biggest tour ever in 2009.
With both events taking place outdoors, fans will be keeping a close eye on the Manchester weather over the weekend to determine what to wear and what to bring with them.
According to the Met Office’s forecast for the weekend, there will be highs of 21C on Saturday and there could even be some sunny intervals throughout the day too. From 11am to 3pm, temperatures will be between 18-20C.
There could be a bit of brightness heading our way from around 4pm, with sunshine forecast until about 10pm with temperatures between 18-20C. Turning into a clear night, temperatures will then start to dip to about 16C.
On Sunday, sunny intervals are expected again and it could be a little bit warmer than Saturday too. Between 11am and 3pm, temperatures could reach between 21-24C, turning up a notch to 25C from 4pm to 6pm.
For those heading to Heaton Park on Sunday, temperatures could even reach as high as 25C with temperatures forecast between 23-25C from 1pm to 5pm.
Temperatures will dip a little between 21-24C on Sunday from 6pm to 10pm but sunny intervals are still predicted with another clear night then forecast. Of course, as with any weather forecast, things can change and it’s best to expect the unexpected, but it could potentially be a nice weekend for live music.
