Tramlines 2027: More than half of all weekend tickets have already sold
Following another sold-out Tramlines, excitement is already building for 2027 (23rd - 25th July), with 60 per cent of weekend tickets snapped up and the first ticket tiers selling out within minutes.
It follows an unforgettable weekend at Hillsborough Park, where 40,000 music fans each day came together for three days of global artists, grassroots talent and unmistakable Sheffield spirit.
Across the weekend, festivalgoers enjoyed headline performances from Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice, alongside hundreds of artists spanning established names, emerging talent and Sheffield favourites. Beyond Hillsborough Park, Tramlines on Track brought live performances to Sheffield's tram network, while the city-wide Fringe once again transformed venues across the city into part of the festival experience.
This year's festival was packed with standout moments. Fatboy Slim wowed fans with his first major outdoor show in Sheffield while Saturday saw thousands embrace Tramlines' first-ever Fancy Dress Day and The Everly Pregnant Brothers paid a moving tribute to the late Sheffield photographer Glenn Ashley alongside The Leadmill Studio Orchestra. Blossoms brought out Rick Astley, who also played a standout solo set, and Reverend at The Makers included Sheffield legend Richard Hawley and rapper K Dot in their set.
Festivalgoers once again praised the atmosphere, organisation and Sheffield pride across the weekend, with many highlighting standout performances, improved accessibility and the unique Sheffield feel of the event.
Timm Cleasby, Festival Director at Tramlines, said: "Every year we challenge ourselves to create a festival that feels unmistakably Sheffield, and I genuinely believe we've achieved that again in 2026.
"Seeing 40,000 people through the gates each day is incredible, but what we're most proud of is the atmosphere those people create.
"Tramlines has always been about much more than three days of live music. It's about celebrating Sheffield's creativity, supporting grassroots talent and creating opportunities for artists to grow. That's why hearing performers talk about progressing from our smaller stages to bigger stages means so much to us."
With more than half of weekend tickets already sold and the first three ticket tiers gone, fans hoping to join Tramlines in 2027 are being encouraged to secure their tickets early.
