Tramlines 2026’s first big name acts have been revealed for the Sheffield festival.
The team from Tramlines Festival has confirmed the first wave of artists set to perform at Hillsborough Park in 2026. The festivities will be happening between Friday, July 24 and Sunday, July 26.
Headliners include Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice. They will be joined by Kaiser Chiefs, Blossoms and Wet Leg among other major artists. You can find ticket details here.
Today’s announcement follows record-breaking demand for tickets with over 20,000 fans signed up for early access to the pre-sale. More than two-thirds of all tickets have already been sold, marking the fastest sales in the festival’s history. Additional tickets will go live on-sale from 6pm on Thursday, November.
In the run-up to the announcement, Tramlines rolled out a tongue-in-cheek, ‘Spill the Beans’, teaser campaign. Hundreds across the UK received specially branded tins of beans in the post, each featuring the name of a 2026 artist ahead of the official reveal. Fans were also invited to donate food to the S6 Foodbank in Hillsborough, where anyone making a contribution received one of the limited-edition tins in return.

The campaign has continued Tramlines’ commitment to local causes, with further activity to be explored throughout the year. The Tramlines Trust has awarded over £120,000 in grants to local organisations, with more than half of that going directly to projects based in Hillsborough.
The Trust is a dedicated micro-charity built to make the festival’s community impact more accessible, transparent and sustainable. It supports grassroots initiatives across culture, young people, education, skills, mental health and more.
Timm Cleasby, Tramlines Operations Director, said: “I’d like to say a massive thank you to our amazing Tramlines community who have helped make this a record-breaking year. 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. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Hillsborough Park for another huge weekend of music, comedy and fun. See you in the summer.”
