The big names heading to Hillsborough next summer: Tramlines line-up revealed

The first-wave of artists has been dropped for Sheffield’s Tramlines festival, and it’s going to be a crowd pleaser. 

Hillsborough park will see headliners Fatboy Slim, Courtneers and Wolf Alice take the stage over three days of non-stop music, with special guest names among the likes of indie classics The Vaccines and Lottery Winners, as well as local legends The Everly Pregnant Brothers.  

So far, other names announced include the Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley, Blossoms, Wet Leg, The Royston Club and The Coral.

Tramlines 2025 was one for the books, with Sheffield prodigal band Pulp making their debut at the festival, as well as big sets from Kasabian, Rizzle Kicks, The Reytons and CMAT. 

More than 120 artists played Hillsborough Park, with a big focus on platforming grassroots, and raised more money for local causes via the The Tramlines Trust, which has seen over £120,000 donated since 2022.

Now in its 17th year, Tramlines are now an expert in giving Sheffield both the big acts on their doorstep, and platforming local talent big and small.

Steel City band Reverend and the Makers are on the bill, as well as upcoming Sheffield artists Femur, Junk and Sam Scherdel – plus an always welcome appearance from The Leadmill Orchestra. 

A big supporter of the community, Tramlines teased the line-up last weekend in collaboration with S6 Foodbank, inviting people to trade in a donation for a tin of beans that would reveal a name on the now-released line up.
