You've probably missed the boat on that one by now... http://www.tramlines.org.uk/information/

There's loads of free stuff going on - most pubs in/around town, the peace gardens, the small stage by the stall in Endcliffe park (the main folk forest is ticketed).

 

I want to see George Clinton - and that'd be £20/£25 to see him on his own if he was at the 02 - so I wouldn't say £36 for a weekend's music is expensive.

 

And looking outside the world of music, Sheffield Wednesday charge between £20 and £42 for a ticket to see them play for 90 minutes.

Anyone know where I can get a programme?

 

I undertand there's a list of stockists on the Facebook page but that's not accessable to me right now!

I picked one up at the Green Room lunchtime today although there weren't many copies left.

It looks like the day tickets are sold out, been looking online today. Wanted to go on the Saturday. Reading the posts on here, looks like there are no free gigs this year. Have i got this right, can anyone confirm:huh:

 

The 'main stage' venues require a wristband, the 'fringe' venues are free entry.

There are also a number of pubs that aren't official festival venues putting bands on and offering free entry too.

TRAMLINES BY SUPERTRAM...

 

Many of the festival venues are along the tram line (appropriate given the name of the festival) meaning the tram service lends itself to doing a crawl of festival venue by hopping on and off trams. Between Fitzalan Square and Hillsborough trams run every 5-10 minutes. Trams also serve Sheffield Station (every 10 minutes) for those arriving in Sheffield by train and Nunnery Square Park & Ride (every 10-20 minutes) for those coming by car. Last trams are around 11:30pm leaving the City Centre, last trams from Shalesmoor back into the centre are around midnight.

Argh! That's probably the only venue along there I didn't try. I'm finding the online version pretty difficult with the 'book' format. Would prefer a PDF.

[smiggs 10]

There's a clashfinder if that helps.

[ReggieBlade 10]

Anybody know if there are any reggae bands on on Saturday? Cheers.

[jake 10]

I've not seen a line up - but the Peace Gardens is probably your best bet on Saturday - there's bound to be at least one reggae band on

[deelightful3 10]

thanks all

Does anyone know where the free stages are in the city centre, Im only heading into town on Sunday for a few hours with the family so its not worth buying day tickets.
