What is Tramlines Festival?
Tramlines Festival 2026 is Sheffield’s flagship music festival — a three-day celebration of live music, comedy and culture held in Hillsborough Park.
Born in the heart of Sheffield back in 2009, Tramlines began as a city-wide takeover — pubs, clubs and street corners alive with sound. Today, it’s firmly rooted in Hillsborough Park, welcoming around 40,000 music lovers each July for a weekend that feels unmistakably Sheffield.
