Sheffield's very own Human League will perform their first show of the year at Tramlines Festival

Tramlines Festival is back with a mega line-up.

The annual event which takes place in Sheffield's Hillsborough Park is back for another year and is bigger than ever before. This year, bosses at the event haven't held back and have gone all out to ensure that everybody is catered for.

While music lovers have previously seen the likes of Sam Fender, Kasabian, Lewis Capaldi and Becky Hill take to the stage, this year proves to be one of the most exciting. Back for its 16th year, there are still many more names to come as Sheffield's biggest music event celebrates its Sweet Sixteen. This year, the event will take part from Friday, July 26 – July 28.

But who's playing? Here, we take a look at some of the biggest names in music who will be playing. This year, the event will be headlined by none other than Paulo Nutini, Jamie T and Snow Patrol. But they will be joined by Bombay Bicycle Club, Tom Grennan, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Human League, Holly Humberstone and Yard Act.

Elsewhere across the weekend, the likes of Annie Mac, The Mysterines, Example, Soft Play and Miles Kane will be taking to The Sara Nulty main stage, T'Other Stage and The Leadmill Stage. The three headlines will be making their debut performance at the event which sees 40,000 music lovers flocking to South Yorkshire.

Chart-topper Tom Grennan will also be returning

The Human League are set to delight fans on home turf with their first UK show of 2024. Last week, bosses sent out a handful of miniature Henderson's Relish bottles, teasing the line-up with various artists names on the bottles.

Although there's a string of huge names on the bill, bosses behind the festival are keen to showcase homegrown talent, for which they've previously won Best Festival For Emerging Talent at the 2023 UK Festival Awards.

If you want to take a break from music, why not check out the comedy stage as well as the library which will see several people deliver poetry and readings over the course of the weekend? You can also head to the on-site pub The Open Arms, as well as check out the various stalls dotted around the site.

Tramlines Operations Director, Timm Cleasby said: "I'm delighted to release the first wave of acts for Tramlines 2024. There are some great bands on the lineup! Securing headliners like Paolo Nutini, Jamie T and Snow Patrol is a fantastic testament to the reputation of Tramlines - and the hard work of our booking team - and, as always, they’re joined by top Sheffield talent including The Human League, Everly Pregnant Bros, Coco, and Otis Mensah, with many more to follow.

"As always, we’re incredibly grateful for the support of the people of Sheffield following the challenges of 2023. We were blown away by the Sheffield spirit over the event weekend and have been overwhelmed by the amount of sign-ups we've had for our ticket presale, launching on Thursday 25th at 12pm.

"We're very happy to have reached a new 5-year deal with Sheffield City Council, preserving the future of the festival. We are working hard with SCC on improvements to Hillsborough Park to ensure it remains an excellent public space throughout the year.

"Keep your eyes peeled as we launch the 2024 Tramlines Trust grants later this year. Sending over £50k back into Hillsborough, Sheffield and South Yorkshire projects in 2023 was a great feeling. I'm always blown away by the way our region produces creative solutions to societal issues and can't wait to see the 2024 applications."

Presale tickets will go live on Thursday, January 25 at 10am, with weekend tickets available from £130+booking fees. Day tickets range from £45+booking fees. Fancy heading down? Tickets are available on the official Tramlines website.
