That tradition is continuing again this weeked, with the latest batch of talent performing at the festival, with stars ranging from Sheffield’s own Paul Heaton, to the massively successful girl group Sugababes.
The venue for the main stage has varied over the years, before arriving at its current location of Hillsborough Park, but the quality of the music has remained.
We have taken a look back through the archives to find pictures of 22 acts who performed on the main stage at the festival, providing great memories for those who attended the festival.
