Tramlines have finally revealed the line-up for this year’s festival at Hillsborough Park.

Sheffield’s most iconic festival will return on 23-25 July, after it was cancelled last summer due to coronavirus restrictions.

The Streets will kick-off the headline performances on the Sarah Nulty Main Stage on the Friday night.

The Streets’ Mike Skinner has performed exclusive DJ sets for Tramlines in the past but performs live for the first time as the Friday night headliner.

Brit Award winning rock duo, Royal Blood, are billed as the Saturday night headliners, with former Verve frontman, Richard Ashcroft closing the festival on the Sunday.

Tickets have currently been taken off sale, with a final batch to be released on Friday 30 April at 12pm.

With a large number of ticket buyers for the postponed 2020 event retaining their tickets, only a very limited number of Weekend tickets will be available, currently priced at £130.

Also featured on the line-up are The Kooks, DMA’s, Blossoms, and Dizzee Rascal.

The line-up announcement has also revealed a number of acts from South Yorkshire, including four-piece rock band The Sherlocks, and the popular local act, Everly Pregnant Brothers.

Tramlines will take place at Hillsborough Park from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th July.

Since its humble beginnings in 2009 as a free event, Tramlines is now a firm fixture on the UK festival circuit.

Tramlines Festival Operations Director, Timm Cleasby said: “The pandemic has hit us all very hard in a million different ways but the support that Sheffield has already shown us is incredibly humbling for us all.

“We’re super excited to bring you what I feel is one of our strongest line ups. The three main headliners have been on my list for a good while now and we’ve got some brilliant returning friends as well.

“All this said, we’re very serious about the public’s safety and take our responsibilities regarding COVID very seriously. We’re keeping a close eye on developments and will act accordingly should things change.”

Tramlines festival features five stages of music, comedy, performance, art, and handpicked food and craft ales.
