Tramlines has revealed its full 2026 line-up, following the biggest demand in the festival's history.
The beloved Sheffield music event will be back at Hillsborough Park next summer for its 17th year, and has teed up a bumper line-up of stars to perform this year.
Topping the bill on Friday will be legendary musician and DJ Fatboy Slim, who'll bring his legendary big-beat energy to the Tramlines main stage.
On Saturday, it'll be beloved Manc indie rockers Courteeners who'll close out the main stage - Tramlines say this has been one of their most-requested acts with their big singalong energy.
Then on Sunday, Wolf Alice will bring their Mercury-Prize-winning mix of grunge, alt-rock and haunting ballads to Sheffield.
Also topping the Tramlines 2026 line-up will be the likes of indie anthem kings Kaiser Chiefs, one of the UK's hottest live acts Blossoms, and off-kilter pop geniuses Wet Leg.
Tramlines 2026 will be welcoming to the bill Gabrielle, Lottery Winners, Rick Astley, Reverend and the Makers, The K’s, The Vaccines, Vanessa Carlton, The Enemy, and The Everly Pregnant Brothers, too.
And much-loved disco event Day Fever, a daytime rave for people who don't want a late night, will be popping up at Hillsborough Park too.

Tramlines has already experienced record-breaking demand for its 2026 festival, even before announcing the line-up, with more than 20,000 fans signed up for early access and more than two-thirds of tickets already sold.
In the run-up to the announcement, Tramlines rolled out a tongue-in-cheek, ‘Spill the Beans’, teaser campaign, delivering specially branded tins of beans in the post that teased the artists who would be performing.
Fans could also claim a tip-off tin by donating food to the S6 Foodbank in Hillsborough.
Tramlines will take place between Friday 24 and Sunday 26 July 2026.
Pre-sale tickets for Tramlines 2026 go live from 6pm on Thursday 27 November for those signed up via www.tramlines.org.uk, with general sale from 6pm on Friday 28 November HERE.

New Sheffield pizzeria named one of the world’s best
A Sheffield pizzeria has been named one of the world’s best in a prestigious global ranking.
Forbici, the restaurant where all pizzas are served with a pair of scissors, is the only northern pizzeria to be recognised at last week's Best Pizza Awards 2026.
The awards took place in Milan, and are said to be the Michelin equivalent of the pizza world.
Forbici was named as creating one of the world’s best pizzas, with its master chef recognised as one of the top pizza chefs in the world.
It’s one of just two UK pizzerias listed in the coveted top 100 this year.

Forbici opened in Manchester back in 2024, and has since expanded across to lovely Sheffield on Millennium Square back in March.
It was also once named by Marco Pierre White as ‘the best pizza’ he’d ever had - quite an accolade.
Biga pizza dough at Forbici is slow-fermented to create a light, risen crust, before being topped with quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and Italian produce.
It also has a lot of northern flavour, thanks to local specials like the Lancashire Hotpot – a pizza topped with crisps.
And all pizzas are served with scissors, inspired by the pizzerias of Naples, to be cut into quarters.
Master baker Davide Argentino is a fifth-generation baker from Napoli. While his family runs two bakeries on his behalf back home, Davide brings a true taste of authentic Neapolitan pizza to the UK.
Commenting on the recognition, Davide said: “It is a huge honour for Forbici to be recognised as one of the best pizzerias in the world.
“Baking has been in my family for five generations, so this is a really proud moment. In crafting Forbici’s signature dough we challenged convention pushing the fermentation process to the limit. Every bite reflects the patience, precision and expertise behind our approach.
“This recognition belongs to our entire team, whose passion, skill and commitment to the craft of pizza-making make Forbici what it is every day.”
A beach has popped up in the Sheffield city centre this week – and it’s completely free to visit
Clementine Hall
You don't need to book a seaside getaway to enjoy some beach vibes this week, as a giant pop-up beach has arrived right in the heart of the city centre.
To celebrate the opening of Summer Holiday, Tudor Square has been transformed into a sandy seaside retreat.
Located outside the Crucible and Lyceum theatres, the square is now packed with all the essentials for a classic day at the beach - from buckets and spades to deckchairs.
The free attraction is open from 11am until 7pm between Thursday 25 June and Saturday 27 June, with organisers encouraging people of all ages to head down and make the most of the sunshine.
Whether you're looking to snap a holiday-style photo, keep the kids entertained, or simply enjoy a laid-back afternoon in the city, the beach is open to everyone and there's no need to reserve a spot in advance.
Visitors are being reminded to come prepared for the warm weather by bringing suncream, hats, and plenty of water.
And if that wasn't enough, there's even more happening on Saturday 27 June.
A live DJ set from SlamBarz will provide the soundtrack to the day from 11.45am until 2pm, while a barbecue will be providing the goods from midday through until 6pm.
With sunshine, sand, music, and food all on offer, Tudor Square is set to become the place to be this weekend.
So grab your sunglasses and your bucket and spade, round up your friends and family, and head down to enjoy a slice of the seaside right in the middle of the city
