Tramlines is a well-known inner city festival. Every July Sheffield fills up with music lovers and a whole lot of entertainment. If you’ve been to it before, you might be expecting a similar experience from last year, but 2018 is a kind of a big deal for Tramlines.
In its 10th anniversary, organisers have put on the largest lineup to date as well as its first ever comedy show. The festival location also made a big move. Instead of Ponderosa Park, Upperthorpe, acts will perform in its new home, Hillsborough Park, less than 30 minutes away from Sheffield train station.
So, what’s to expect from this year?
Headliners consist of Welsh band Stereophonics on Friday, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds on the Saturday and pop/garage star Craig David on Sunday.
