Tramlines is returning to Hillsborough Park in Sheffield for another year.
Tramlines is truly showing Yorkshire that festival season is back for good this summer.
Sam Fender, Kasabian and Madness are all set to headline the weekend festival, with additional acts due to be announced in the coming weeks.
Between Friday 22 July and Sunday 24 July 2022, Tramline-goers will have the opportunity to watch some of the UK's best musical talent, as well as rising up-and-coming acts before they hit the mainstream.

The latest line-up announcement included the likes of Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Alfie Templeman, Kelis and Scouting for Girls will be joining the already jam-packed lineup.
James, Declan McKenna, The Vaccines, Sigrid, Self Esteem, Inhaler, The Wombats, Becky Hill, Reverend and the Makers and The Coral are just some of the big names taking to the stage, with smaller acts like Swim School, Coach Party, April and The Goa Express entertaining daytime crowds.
On Friday 22 July, the headliner at Tramlines festival is going to be the UK's most-loved Geordie, Sam Fender. The Seventeen Going Under singer-songwriter is currently on a UK tour to celebrate his latest album release and will be making an appearance in Sheffield to perform all of his best-selling singles, including Hypersonic Missiles, Will We Talk? and we're sure that his latest single, Spit Of You will find a way onto the main stage too.
Sit Down indie-pop band and Madchester legends, James, will also be performing in the evening. Having sold over 25 million albums worldwide since their formation in the 1980s, the band will perform after 23-year-old Declan McKenna takes to the stage.

By Saturday, Sheffield will have well and truly settled into the festival: we're picturing dancing in the sunshine, drink in one hand and the other in the air as Kasabian headline the event. The English rock band have had us losing our voices at festivals since their formation in the late 90s and we're sure Tramlines will be no different. Expect bangers like Fire, You're In Love With A Psycho, Shoot The Runner and other classic indie-rock tunes that span through the decades all evening long.
The Vaccines, who have made many a festival performance over the past five years, will be warming up the crowd with summertime favourites, If You Wanna, Wetsuit, Post Break-Up Sex and All My Friends Are Falling In Love and more. Norwegian singer Sigrid will also be bringing electro-pop to the main stage with a colourful performance of her album, Sucker Punch.
The full line-up for Saturday includes: Kasabian, The Vaccines, Sigrid, Little Man Tate, Self Esteem, Inhaler, Sam Ryder, Alfie Templeman, Lottery Winners, Kawala, Just Mustard, Crawlers, Bleach Lab, Swim School, Sheafs, Pixey and Every Pregnant Brothers.
Line-up: Sunday 24 July

We all know how Sundays look at a festival: you're either still hyped up from the night before or lethargically fighting to postpone the looming post-festival hangover, but it's nothing a bacon barm and a Berocca can't sort out. The tunes on Sunday are just as lively, so make sure you save your energy for 70s icons from the ska band, Madness. Expect old school tunes like Our House, It Must Be Love and an unmissable performance of Baggy Trousers in performance that will be perfect for all ages.
Preceding Madness will be The Wombats, who will be offering ample opportunity to dance to Joy Division during an excitable set of hits spanning from Greek Tragedy to 1996. Also performing as one of the final day headliners is Becky Hill. The former The Voice contestant will be taking time out from her residency at Ibiza Rocks to perform at Tramlines, we're expecting to hear Only Honest on the Weekend from start to finish, as well as soulful performances of pop hits.
The full Sunday line-up includes: Madness, The Wombats, Becky Hill, Reverend & The Makers, Kelis, The Coral, Sports Team, Scouting for Girls, Yard Act, Elvana, Do Nothing, The Goa Express, April, Bedroom High Club and Luxury Goods.
All that dancing is bound to work up quite the appetite. A serious consideration at festivals is the foodie offerings and Tramlines has the perfect combination of bars and food trucks to keep you going all weekend long. B’reyt Dough, a born and bred Yorkshire pizza company will be firing up Italian specialties by the plenty whilst Stripclub Street food will have all the burgers, fries and session sides you need.
The festival-themed menu from the burger joint includes the likes of BBQ Bae, A Kiss Burger, A Quickie Burger and their famous Bacon Biscoff.
How can I get tickets?
Weekend tickets for the festival have now sold out but day tickets are still available for all days.
Whether it's coming home or not, we've rounded up five of the best pubs, bars and cultural hubs in our home for you to watch the World Cup.
After getting eliminated in the quarter-final four years ago at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the England team are back with a vengeance as they gear up for the 2026 World Cup across USA, Canada and Mexico.
Just like every football tournament, there's always high hopes for our lads, and rightly so as this team has won once, placed fourth twice and reached the quarter-final stage a whopping 7 times.
This time round, the football frenzy is kicking off right in the middle of the British Summertime, and weather-depending we'll be enjoying a crisp pint or two with the sun beaming on us.
Failing that, we're sure there's plenty of indoor room at these five Sheffield spots where we can comfortably watch the match, and maybe grab a bite to eat too.
Where are some of the best places to watch the World Cup in Sheffield?
Riverside

Self-appointed 'Friendly local pub' Riverside is located in Kelham Island and is hosting matches throughout the pub and to ensure everyone gets a good seat, they're showing England games in their function room and courtyard too.
It's no surprise that this notable South Yorkshire watering hole is screening as many football games as they can, as it's recognised for hosting all sorts of activites including a Cowgirls and Cocktails night recently with painting, limbo and drinks.
Known for its iconic neon sign which adorns the side wall of the pub that overlooks its accompanying beer garden, this Sheffield pub is encouraging footy lovers to make bookings to avoid disappointment, although walk-ins where possible will be welcomed.
Cambridge Street Collective

If you didn't know already, Cambridge Street Collective is Europe's largest purpose-built food hall with a variety of bars and some seriously tasty scran being served up by 20 diverse kitchens.
In case that wasn't enough to tempt you, it's launching some deals just in time for this football celebration with £10 entry securing you a nice seat and a pint valued up to £7.
There's even £5 Pravha an hour before England match kick-offs, live DJs to give the space a more fan zone-esque feel as well as a retro footy shirt pop-up on Sunday 14 June from 12pm to 4.30pm.
Kapital

This 'promised land of European drinking and dining' is obviously getting involved in all the World Cup action with free entry and no bookings required.
This booze-filled institution is even giving away free pints of Paulaner for you to enjoy during England's first match against Croatia through the link in their bio.
After a beer? There's definitely no short supply as you can grab a one litre stein. Prefer a cocktail? You're in luck as this Sheffield pub is pouring frozen margs too.
Also joining in on the generosity with a giveaway is Neepsend Social, who are offering a free pint for you and a mate during any of the upcoming World Cup matches.
Although not much is listed about their plans for the World Cup, considering this social club is always running a variety of events, it's more than likely they're getting involved in showing the footy.
This venue is walk-in only and dog friendly, meaning you really can bring everyone you know including your friend's nan's dog - pawfect.
BOX Sheffield

This designated sports bar is obviously making the most of the World Cup celebrations, even hosting an orchestra take-over at their London Piccadilly location playing iconic anthems.
All their sites across the UK are getting booked up fast, so if you're after watching England with a few pals here, it's better to get this booked sooner rather than later.
Not in the mood for football but still up for a party? Their Sheffield location has a couple of karaoke pods available to hire too - We're sure 'Three Lions' will be on the playlist regardless.
Viral Manchester bakery Gooey is opening in Sheffield this summer
Clementine Hall
Manchester’s beloved bakery and brunch spot Gooey is officially coming to Sheffield.
The bakery is famed for its chunky freshly-baked cookies, its pillow-soft doughnuts, and its sticky, icing-topped cinnamon rolls, as well as viral brunch dishes.
If you’ve spent any amount of time scrolling through social media over the last few years, chances are you’ve seen Gooey’s famous creations pop up on your feed.
From chunky cookies that barely fit in your hand to those picture-perfect egg sandos, the Manchester-born brand has become a go-to for sweet treats and brunch lovers alike.
The first signs of the move appeared over the weekend, when Gooey’s unmistakable branding was spotted inside the shopping centre. Signage at the unit revealed that shoppers can expect all the favourites, including cookies, doughnuts, coffee, and matcha drinks.
The best part? There's not too long to wait.
The new Gooey Meadowhall site is set to open in summer 2026, meaning Sheffield residents will soon be able to get their hands on the bakery’s viral bakes without making the trip over the Pennines.
You’ll find the new store on the first floor of Meadowhall, above Mango and right next to Fraser Hart.
Safe to say, Sheffield’s bakery game is about to get a serious upgrade. We'll keep you updated with an opening date as and when we find out.
