Tramlines 2011

All acts TBA

Tramlines is a festival unlike any other. It's completely free and delivers a line-up that would normally cost a packet. The music policy includes everything from huge bands performing for thousands to little known musical oddities, playing to a handful of devotees in the back of a pub.

The event started in 2009 with a total crowd of 60,000. This jumped to 130,000 in 2010 and there's a staggering 175,000 expected for this year who will have 4 main stages and over 70 venues to explore.

The festival features artists from across the board. Last years event included shows from Echo and the Bunnymen, Toddla T and Annie Mac, David Rodigan, The Mystery Jets, Darwin Deez, The King Blues, The Hoosiers, Craig David and The Dum Dum Girls amoungst many more.

The organisers are very excited about the huge leap that the festival will take this year. There's new stages, venues and themed trails that will take you to every corner of Sheffield. People who stay up to date with announcements leading up to the festival will be rewarded with access to super-secret performances and hidden away locations that the general public will not know about.

The festival site (Sheffield) is easily reached by the UK road and rail networks. There's no on-site camping but there's plenty of affordable hotels and hostels for you to stay in.
