The three major headliners for 2026 have been confirmed by the Tramlines Festival, with dozens of the biggest names in music making their way to Hillsborough Park for the mega event.
The three headliners have been confirmed by the Tramlines Festival. The annual event, which takes place at Sheffield’s Hillsborough Park, returns with a bigger lineup than ever and is once again appealing to everyone’s musical tastes, including comedy and disco classics.
Last year saw Pulp, The Reytons and Kasabian all take to the Sarah Nulty Main Stage. This year, the event will take place between Friday, July 24 and Sunday, July 26. But who is headlining this year? Well, look no further as the Mirror has you covered with everything you need to know.
The biggest names will be playing once more, thanks to bosses who have gone above and beyond. Friday will feature Fatboy Slim, The Courteeners on Saturday, and Wolf Alice’s closing performance on Sunday. On Friday, Blossoms on Saturday, and Wet Leg on Sunday will be performing alongside them.
The likes of Gabrielle, Lottery Winners, The K’s, The Royston Club, The Vaccines, Vanessa Carlton, Rick Astley, Everly Pregnant Brothers, Seb Lowe, Day Fever (disco set), Lucy Spraggan, Reverend and the Makers, The Enemy, The Rosadocs, and The Lilacs, to name a few, are also present.
With hits like Praise You and Right Here, Right Now, Fatboy Slim will kick off the weekend on Friday. There had been a cheeky “Spill the Beans” teaser campaign in the days leading up to today’s announcement. In the UK, tramlines distributed hundreds of specially branded tins of beans. Prior to the official reveal, each tin featured a 2026 artist’s name.
On Friday, November 21, fans were also encouraged to donate food to the S6 Foodbank in Hillsborough, with the recipient receiving one of the limited-edition tins. With additional activities planned throughout the year, Tramlines’ commitment to local causes was continued this campaign.
Timm Cleasby, the director of Tramlines operations, expressed his gratitude to our incredible Tramlines community for making this year a record-breaking year.
We’re pleased that we were able to highlight the amazing S6 Foodbank in our launch campaign because they do a lot for the community and we’ll continue to support them. For another incredible weekend of music, comedy, and fun, we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Hillsborough Park. I’ll see you in the summertime!
Tramlines continues to be a significant part of Sheffield’s cultural life beyond the weekend itself. The Tramlines Trust has awarded over £120,000 in grants to local organizations since its inception in 2022, with more than half of those grants going directly to Hillsborough-based projects.
The Trust is a dedicated micro-charity created to enhance the festival’s impact on the community. It supports grassroots initiatives in areas of culture, youth, education, skills, mental health, and more.
At the upcoming UK Festival Awards, Tramlines has received nominations for Pulp’s Headline Performance of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, and Sarah Nulty Community Impact Award. At the ceremony in Manchester on Tuesday, December 2, the winners will be revealed.
