Tramlines 2026 adds new Sheffield artists and full comedy line-up to Hillsborough Park bill
Tramlines Festival has announced a major new wave of artists for 2026, with a strong focus on Sheffield talent alongside the full reveal of this year’s comedy line-up.
The festival returns to Hillsborough Park from Friday 24th to Sunday, 26th July with an already stacked line-up including Fatboy Slim, Courteeners, Wolf Alice, Kaiser Chiefs, Blossoms and Wetleg.
This latest announcement sees a wide range of new local acts added across the weekend, reinforcing Tramlines’ long-standing commitment to supporting artists from Sheffield and the wider region.
These additions sit across the festival’s curated stages and partnerships, which continue to play a central role in giving grassroots artists a platform to develop and reach new audiences.
A standout moment in this year’s programme is the return of Pattern + Push, who will host a full Saturday takeover made up entirely of female artists from Sheffield.
The line-up brings together DJs and performers from across the city and reflects both the depth of talent locally and a growing focus on representation. It marks a positive step forward, while recognising there is still more to be done.
Elsewhere, stages hosted by Slambarz and Live From The Library continue to champion new voices, with spoken word, performance and alternative acts sitting alongside the main music programme.
Together, these spaces create opportunities for artists at every stage of their journey, from first festival appearances through to established Sheffield names returning to bigger stages.
Alongside the local additions, Tramlines has also confirmed its full comedy line-up for 2026. Dom Joly brings a special Trigger Happy TV: 25th anniversary show, joined by Ross Noble, Reginald D Hunter, Emmanuel Sonubi and a host of stand-up names performing across the weekend, further expanding the festival’s offering beyond music.
Timm Cleasby, Operations Director at Tramlines, said: “Local artists have always been at the heart of Tramlines. Every year we see people take that first step on one of our stages and go on to build something bigger, and that’s what the festival is all about.
“The Pattern + Push line-up this year is something we’re really proud of. It’s all female and all Sheffield, and while there’s still more to do, it feels like a proper step forward and something we want to keep building on.
“At the same time, the comedy line-up this year is one of our strongest yet, with names like Dom Joly, Reginald D Hunter and Ross Noble set to be a big part of the weekend.”
Tramlines Festival 2026 will be headlined by Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice, alongside a line-up that continues to bring together major names with the best of emerging and local talent.
