Tramlines 2026 Reveals Stage Splits as Taskmaster and Science Shows Join Headliners at Hillsborough Park

Tramlines Festival has revealed the full stage splits for its 2026 edition, alongside new

details for its Into the Trees family area, as the festival returns to Hillsborough Park from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July.

The release of the stage splits poster, long anticipated by fans, lays out the full weekend for the first time, showing exactly how the line up unfolds across the park and where those key decisions will need to be made.

Friday sees Fatboy Slim top the Sarah Nulty Main Stage, joined by Kaiser Chiefs and

special guests The Vaccines, while The T’Other stage brings through names like The K’s

and Starsailor whilst Reginald D Hunter tops the comedy bill. The Leadmill Stage will seeBlack Honey headline with support from Radio Free Alice and Westside Cowboy whilst the Ogretones top the Library Stage.

Saturday is led by Courteeners on the main stage, with Blossoms and Rick Astley also

featuring, while Gabrielle heads up T’Other Stage. Elsewhere, Seb Lowe features on The

Leadmill stage, with strong Sheffield representation running throughout the day including the Pattern and Push takeover and sets from Freddie Halkon and The Leadmill Studio Orchestra. Comedy is fronted by Ross Noble, continuing a run of big comedy names that is a core part of the Tramlines weekend.

Sunday closes with Wolf Alice headlining, alongside Wet Leg and Reverend and the

Makers, while The Enemy lead The T’Other stage. Across the park, acts including The

Royston Club, Florence Road and The Lilacs sit alongside Dom Joly’s Trigger Happy TV

anniversary show and a final run of performances that carry through from early afternoon to close.

Alongside the music, Into the Trees returns as a central part of the weekend, reflecting just how many families now build Tramlines into their summer plans. New for this year, the first few acts each day on The Library stage will be family focussed.

Running across all three days and hosted by Molly from Molly Kids TV, the programme

brings together a mix of interactive learning, performance and open ended play.

Taskmaster Education features across Friday and Saturday, encouraging problem solving and teamwork, while Amazelab delivers hands-on science experiences including Colour Chaos, Power Up and The Coolest Show on Earth. Sunday also sees SDK Dance Crew bring a live performance element into the space.

Beyond the scheduled programme, Into the Trees is designed as somewhere families can properly settle in. Arts and crafts, circus workshops with Storm in a Teacup, cartoon drawing, stilt walking, bubble displays and dance workshops all sit alongside dedicated facilities to support families across the day.

Timm Cleasby, Operations Director at Tramlines, said: “We know how many families come to Tramlines now, and that’s something we’ve embraced over the years. Into the Trees has become a big part of what the festival is. We want to make sure there’s something for all ages, whether that’s activities, performances or just space to take a breather. We’ve also put a lot of work into the practical side of it, with things like dedicated nursing areas and baby changing facilities, because those details, alongside the stage splits, really matter when you’re planning a full day or weekend here as a family.”

Tickets for Tramlines 2026 have seen unprecedented demand, with both Friday and

Saturday now sold out.

Final tier weekend tickets, which give access to all three days, are on sale now and

running low. Final tier Sunday tickets are also on sale, offering the last chance to catch the festival’s closing day.

Kids weekend and Sunday tickets are available, alongside payment plan options and

additional upgrades.
