Tramlines Festival 2025 Verified listing

Tramlines is one of the longest-running city-based music festivals in the UK and a cornerstone of Sheffield's cultural calendar. Every year in July, it hits Hillsborough Park with an amazing blur of global stars, local talent, and event-wide entertainment. Its stages have played host to some very big names: The Streets, Noel Gallagher, Public Enemy, Little Simz, Annie Mac, Sam Fender, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Kasabian, among many more of the well-established and rising stars that come from Sheffield's really thriving music scene.

It's not only music; at the Festival, there is everything for every taste: comedy lineups, outdoor cinema, child-friendly activities, dancing tents, and a bustling street food village. Add to that The Fringe at Tramlines: during the event weekend, free live shows take over pubs, bars, and outdoor areas across Sheffield City Centre to further extend the in-town atmosphere.

2024 In Reflection
Tramlines, which takes place every July, celebrated its 16th edition in July 2024 with headliners Paolo Nutini, Jamie T, and Snow Patrol delivering memorable performances on the Sarah Nulty Main Stage. In support were Bombay Bicycle Club, The Human League, The Charlatans, and Holly Humberstone, to name but a few, performing across five stages. The music was complemented by artisan beers, retro clothing stalls, family-friendly activities, and a general vibrancy of the festival atmosphere that has sealed Tramlines' place as a summer highlight.
