Tramlines Festival has unveiled the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, set to take place at Hillsborough Park from 24–26 July. Headliners Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice lead an all-star bill that also features Kaiser Chiefs, Blossoms, Wet Leg, Rick Astley, Gabrielle, The Lightning Seeds and many more. This year’s announcement follows unprecedented demand, with over 20,000 fans signing up for early pre-sale access and more than two-thirds of all tickets already sold—marking the fastest sales in Tramlines’ 17-year history. Pre-sale tickets go live at 6pm on Thursday 27 November.
Across the weekend, festival-goers can expect a vibrant mix of global icons, indie favourites and rising talents. Friday sees Fatboy Slim bring his legendary big-beat spectacle to Sheffield for the first time, joined by Kaiser Chiefs, The Vaccines and Vanessa Carlton. Saturday welcomes Courteeners, one of the most requested acts by Tramlines fans, alongside Blossoms, Rick Astley and a special daytime disco takeover from Day Fever. On Sunday, Wolf Alice close the festival with a career-spanning headline set, supported by Wet Leg, Reverend and the Makers, The Enemy and Lottery Winners.
This year’s launch was accompanied by the playful ‘Spill the Beans’ teaser campaign, which saw fans receive branded tins of beans revealing artist names ahead of the announcement. The campaign also supported local charity S6 Foodbank, with festival-goers invited to donate in exchange for limited-edition tins. The initiative reflects Tramlines’ ongoing commitment to its community, further reinforced by the work of The Tramlines Trust, which has awarded over £120,000 to local projects since 2022.
Tramlines is also celebrating four nominations at the upcoming UK Festival Awards, including Inner City Festival of the Year and the Sarah Nulty Community Impact Award. Speaking on the 2026 reveal, Operations Director Timm Cleasby said: “A massive thank you to our amazing Tramlines community for helping make this a record-breaking year. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Hillsborough Park for another huge weekend of music, comedy and fun.”
