Sheffield’s Biggest Outdoor Festival: Tramlines 2026 at Hillsborough Park

Sheffield’s biggest outdoor festival returns in 2026 with three huge days of live music, comedy, culture, and headline acts across multiple stages. Tramlines transforms Hillsborough Park into a full city‑scale celebration, drawing around 40,000 people each year and delivering one of the UK’s most exciting inner‑city festival atmospheres.

Five Stages of Non‑Stop Entertainment

The festival spreads across Hillsborough Park with a mix of huge headline sets, emerging artists, comedy, spoken word, and family entertainment. The Sarah Nulty Main Stage hosts the biggest acts, while T’Other Stage, Leadmill Stage, Library Stage, and The Open Arms each bring their own flavour of music, discovery, and Sheffield talent.

More Than Music

Tramlines blends live music with comedy from names like Reginald D Hunter, Ross Noble, and Dom Joly’s Trigger Happy TV anniversary show. Families can explore the Into the Trees area with interactive learning, dance crews, science experiences, arts, crafts, and roaming entertainment. Independent food traders, local breweries, vintage stalls, and pop‑up bars complete the festival feel.
