McDonald’s will be making a surprise appearance at this weekend's Parklife with free fries and the first ever ‘shimmering’ Golden Arches swing.
Festival goers at the Heaton Park event will be amongst the very first in the UK to get to have a go on the swing, which has been described as being the perfect Instagram photo moment.
In addition, McDonald’s is also bringing its iconic Fries Van to Parklife with more than 2,000 portions of free fries being handed out on both days of the festival.

The fries will be on a first come, first served basis with McDonald’s bosses saying that ‘once they’re gone, they’re gone’.
To keep the party going throughout the weekend, free McDonald’s cowboy hats and soon-to-be legendary fries shirts will also be handed out to lucky revellers.
This year’s Parklife takes place on Saturday (June 11) and Sunday (June 12) and features headliners including The 1975, Aitch and Little Simz.
The Prodigy, Rudimental, Carl Cox, Becky Hill, Fred Again…, and Wu-Tang Clan & Nas will also be appearing over the weekend.
Due to strike action from Metrolink drivers and staff, there will be no trams running across the weekend. Those looking to get to Heaton Park can use the Parklife Shuttle Bus service to travel to the site by purchasing a weekend travel pass.
