Parklife 2019 full line up for Saturday and Sunday including The Streets, Cardi B and George Ezra

The line up and bands playing at Parklife 2019 has been announced.

Mabel, the London singer songwriter and BRIT Award breakthrough act nominee, has joined the bill as a late headliner.

Also announced is Todd Terje, the Norwegian DJ and producer who was listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's '25 DJs That Rule The Earth'.

They join already-confirmed headliners Cardi B, The Streets and George Ezra on this year's mammoth line up.

The festival returns to Heaton Park on Saturday June 8 and 9 for its 10th anniversary edition, bringing with it some of the biggest names in music and tickets are selling fast.

From Instagram celebrity to reality star to chart-topping rapper, Cardi B's rise to fame has been unstoppable.

Her debut single Bodak Yellow hit number one in the US in 2017, making her the first female solo rapper to do so since Lauryn Hill in 1998, and her debut album Invasion of Privacy followed suit last year, breaking several streaming records in the process.

She'll be joined at Parklife by The Streets, who'll be making their first festival performance in over eight years.

The reformed group, fronted by Mike Skinner, made their live return last year after calling it a day in 2011, and played three dates at Manchester's O2 Apollo this month.

Also gracing Heaton Park will be folk pop troubadour George Ezra, following on from his chart-topping second album Staying at Tamara's, which spawned the hit singles Paradise and Shotgun and earned him three Brit Award nominations.

French synth-pop artist Christine & The Queens (real name Héloïse Letissier), soul queen Solange, superstar DJ Mark Ronson and Stockport indie breakouts Blossoms are also among the acts confirmed to play at this year's festival.

US hip hop trio Migos, R&B wunderkind Khalid, pop house duo Disclosure, dance titans Major Lazer Soundsystem and British rapper Stefflon Don are also on the bill.

Mercury Prize nominated hip hop artist Loyle Carner heads up an array of breakthrough acts including Octavian, Slowthai, Yxng Bane and AJ Tracey, as well as eclectic producer Mura Masa.

The festival’s comprehensive collection of DJs will include Annie Mac and Eric Prydz, together with tastemakers Gilles Peterson and Kaytranada, while party starter Jamie Jones plays b2b with Marco Carola and The Martinez Brothers play All Day Long.

Now in its 10th year, Parklife has grown to become the largest metropolitan music festival in the UK with eight stages of music spanning everything from hip hop, rap and R&B to pop, indie and electronica.

Parklife's 10th addition is the fastest selling to date, with weekend general admission tickets sold out just two weeks after sales began. You can still pick up Sunday general admission tickets and weekend VIP passes from parklife.frontgatetickets.com.

This year, tickets also come with a number of perks including 20% off at fashion retailer ASOS, free access to a series of club nights in the run up to the festival featuring special guests from the line up, and a free three month subscription to Apple Music.
