Tramlines Festival confirmed the three headliners ahead of this weekend’s festival. The annual event, which takes place at Sheffield’s Hillsborough Park, is back with an even bigger line-up than ever before and is once again catering for everybody, from music lovers, comedy and disco classics.
Last year saw Pulp, The Reytons and Kasabian all take to the Sarah Nulty Main Stage. This year, the event will take place between Friday, July 24 and Sunday, July 26. But who is headlining this year? Well, look no further as the Mirror has you covered with everything you need to know.
Once again, bosses have gone out of their way to ensure that the biggest names will be playing. Fatboy Slim will be headlining Friday – taking to the stage at 8.45pm. The Courteeners on Saturday headline at the same time, while Wolf Alice are closing on Sunday from 7.45pm. They’ll be joined by Kaiser Chiefs on Friday, Blossoms on Saturday and Wet Leg on Sunday.
Elsewhere, the likes of Gabrielle, Lottery Winners, The K’s, The Royston Club, The Vaccines, Vanessa Carlton, The Clause, Rick Astley, Everly Pregnant Brothers, Seb Lowe, Day Fever (disco set), Lucy Spraggan, Reverend and the Makers, The Enemy, The Rosadocs and The Lilacs to name a few.
Friday will see Fatboy Slim kick off the weekend with hits including Praise You and Right Here, Right Now. In the days leading up to today’s announcement, there had been a cheeky ‘Spill the Beans’ teaser campaign. Tramlines sent out hundreds of specially branded tins of beans across the UK. Each tin featured the name of a 2026 artist ahead of the official reveal.
Fans were also encouraged to donate food to the S6 Foodbank in Hillsborough on Friday, 21 November, with those making a contribution receiving one of the limited-edition tins in return. This campaign continued Tramlines’ commitment to local causes, with more activities planned throughout the year.
Tramlines Operations Director, Timm Cleasby, said: “I’d like to say a massive thank you to our amazing Tramlines community who have helped make this a record-breaking year.
“I’m chuffed we’ve been able to highlight the brilliant S6 Foodbank in our launch campaign; they do vital work in the community, and we will continue to support them. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Hillsborough Park for another huge weekend of music, comedy and fun. See you in the summer!”
Beyond the weekend itself, Tramlines continues to contribute to Sheffield’s cultural life. Since its launch in 2022, The Tramlines Trust has awarded over £120,000 in grants to local organisations, with more than half of that going directly to projects based in Hillsborough.
The Trust is a dedicated micro-charity built to make the festival’s community impact more accessible, transparent and sustainable. It supports grassroots initiatives across culture, young people, education, skills, mental health and more.
