Manchester rapper Aitch delighted festival goers after making a surprise appearance at Parklife, creating one of the most talked about moments of the weekend. The unexpected guest spot prompted a huge response from the crowd at Heaton Park.

Thousands of music fans were left cheering as Aitch made an unannounced appearance during a packed day of performances at Parklife.

The Manchester artist, who has become one of the city's most successful music exports in recent years, received an enthusiastic reception as festival goers quickly recognised the familiar local star.

Surprise guest appearances have become a regular feature of major music festivals, but few generate the same reaction in Greater Manchester as the arrival of a hometown favourite. Phones were raised across the crowd as fans attempted to capture the moment.

Aitch's appearance added to an already busy programme featuring international performers, DJs and emerging artists across the festival site. The rapper's strong connection to Manchester made the guest spot particularly memorable for local fans attending the event.

Since breaking through with a string of chart successes, Aitch has remained closely linked to his home city and has become a popular figure at major Manchester music events. His unexpected appearance provided one of the standout talking points of the day.

The moment underlined Parklife's reputation for delivering surprises alongside its advertised line up, with festival goers rewarded with a special appearance that few had anticipated before arriving at Heaton Park.
