WELCOME TO THE NINTH EDITION OF SHEFFIELD’S INNER-CITY MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Tramlines sees Shef eld at its very best, with music coming from every corner, and this year is set to be no different.
A streamlined festival across our three outdoor arenas has allowed us to bring music-lovers our biggest lineup to-date, and to introduce some exciting developments across the festival. Outside of the legendary likes of
Toots & The Maytals, The Libertines, Metronomy and Primal Scream, there’s a ton to discover over three full days of music.
This year will see the reintroduction
of the much-loved Devonshire Green stage, with a lineup including grime legend Kano, US hip-hop innovators The Pharcyde and one of the UK’s biggest ever girl groups, in the form
of All Saints.
There’ll also be a new area at our main stage at The Ponderosa. The Into The Trees stage in the top eld will offer up a bill of crowd pleasing electronic music, with the likes of The
Heatwave, Don Letts, Alexander Nut and The Re ex.
Meanwhile, a new stage at Academy 2 in partnership with the PRS Foundation will allow fans to check out a bill of exciting emerging talent.
The genre-busting lineup continues down in the sanctuary of the Folk Forest, with Syrian musician Omar Souleyman bringing his unique electronica to the stage alongside alt-pop songwriter Cate Le Bon, whose unforgettable vocals call to mind the legendary Nico.
This year we will be operating a cup deposit scheme at our main stage and Devonshire green. Pay £1, which you will get back when you return your cup and have nished drinking.
Thanks to every single person who works tirelessly on the festival through the whole year. You know who you are. You’ve helped us to make 2017 our biggest and best Tramlines yet, and we couldn’t do it without you.
