The massive line-up for Tramlines Festival 2026 has been officially revealed, with dance legend Fatboy Slim, indie rockers The Courteeners, and Mercury Prize winners Wolf Alice confirmed as the three main headliners.
Star-Studded Weekend in Sheffield
The annual festival will return to Hillsborough Park in Sheffield from Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26, 2026. Organisers have pulled out all the stops to deliver an even bigger line-up than previous years, catering to a wide range of music lovers.
Fatboy Slim will kick off the festivities on the Friday night, promising a set packed with classics like 'Praise You' and 'Right Here, Right Now'. He will be joined on the same day by the anthemic Kaiser Chiefs.
Manchester's The Courteeners will take top billing on Saturday, with fellow indie favourites Blossoms also featuring on the bill. The weekend will then be brought to a powerful close on Sunday by the acclaimed Wolf Alice, who will be supported by the brilliant Wet Leg.
Full Line-Up and Charitable Campaign
The musical feast doesn't stop with the headliners. The festival will feature dozens of other major acts across the weekend, including Gabrielle, Rick Astley, The Vaccines, Vanessa Carlton, Reverend and the Makers, The Enemy, and The K's.
In a creative and charitable marketing campaign leading up to the announcement, Tramlines sent out hundreds of specially branded tins of beans across the UK. Each tin secretly featured the name of a 2026 artist.
Fans were encouraged to donate food to the S6 Foodbank in Hillsborough on November 21st, receiving one of the limited-edition tins in return. This initiative highlights the festival's ongoing commitment to supporting vital local causes.
Community Impact and Ticket Details
Timm Cleasby, Tramlines Operations Director, expressed his excitement: "I'm chuffed we've been able to highlight the brilliant S6 Foodbank in our launch campaign; they do vital work in the community, and we will continue to support them."
Beyond the music, the festival's impact is felt year-round through The Tramlines Trust. Since its launch in 2022, the trust has awarded over £120,000 in grants to local organisations, with more than half going directly to projects in Hillsborough.
