Tramlines Festival returns to Hillsborough Park this weekend for three sold out days of music from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th July.
Headlined by Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice, the festival also features the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Blossoms, and Wet Leg.
Local artists, collectives and community led music platforms will also feature, including Reverend and The Makers, Everly Pregnant Brothers, The Rosadocs, Freddie Halkon, The Leadmill Studio Orchestra, Under the Stars and BBC Radio Sheffield DJs.
Elsewhere, Pattern + Push takes over T’Other Stage today with an all-female line-up featuring Aziza Jaye, Lavelle and DJ Kyla C, while Slambarz showcases Sheffield artists at Speakers Corner tomorrow.
The city’s dance music legacy is celebrated with bassline pioneer Big Ang and Siobhan at The Open Arms, alongside performances from Sheffield singer and former The Voice UK finalist Nørskov.
WaterBear student Milly Pye will also appear on the Sarah Nulty Main Stage today, with the Apply to Play initiative continuing to give emerging acts paid festival slots and industry support.
Timm Cleasby, Operations Director at Tramlines, commented: “Tramlines has big headliners and big moments, but the local story is just as important to us.
“Every year we want the festival to create chances for Sheffield artists, support the grassroots organisations doing important work across the city and make sure local people feel part of what happens in Hillsborough Park.
“Seeing emerging artists step onto major stages across different genres, having Pattern + Push and Slambarz bringing through new voices, and opening the next round of Tramlines Trust funding all sits in the same place for us.
“It is about using the platform of the festival to develop local talent and give artists the chance to grow in front of huge crowds.”
