Started in 2008 Tramlines key goal was to give festival-goers a chance to see established artists alongside up and coming acts. Entry this year is priced at £12 for day tickets or £28 for weekend tickets (plus 10% booking fee).

The festival includes stages, venues and themed trails that will take you to every corner of the city. The festival site (Sheffield) is easily reached by the UK road and rail networks.

Sarah Nulty, Festival Director at Tramlines said: “We’re really excited about the lineup so far and I think fans will see just how committed we are to compiling a diverse music programme that appeals to music fans across the board. Unlike previous years, the Tramlines team is now responsible for programing lineups across all main venues, so you’re going to see even more of our music tastes in the hundreds of acts yet to be announced!

“We’re thrilled to reopen the Main Stage on the Friday night. The brilliant Katy B, coupled with a live show from the city’s very own Toddla T, will kick start a party that will last all weekend.

“With tickets priced at just £12 a day, it’s still such good value. We’re really excited to reveal the rest of the line-up and we’re confident that the festival will be even better than last year.”
