Tramlines Festival announced a new wave of artists for 2026, with the return of Pattern + Push, who will host a Saturday takeover of female artists from Sheffield.
This will include DJs and performers from across the city, providing a platform for local talent and emerging artists.
Big Ang, a Yorkshire-born DJ who produces bassline and UK Garage, will be leading the takeover. She said: “I’m very happy to return to Tramlines as it was so much fun bringing bassline to a younger audience and give younger people, who aren’t old enough to go to clubs, a festival experience with the music I love.
“Pattern + Push have given artists like myself a genuine platform to express ourselves and our music in a safe and supportive environment. I’m so happy the scene has so many people now making UK garage, speed garage and bassline.”
The festival will return to Hillsborough Park from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July with a stacked line-up, including Fatboy Slim, Courteeners, Wolf Alice and more.
Timm Cleasby, Operations Director at Tramlines, said: “Local artists have always been at the heart of Tramlines. The Pattern + Push line-up this year is something we’re really proud of. It’s all female and all Sheffield, and while there’s still more to do, it feels like a proper step forward and something we want to keep building on.”
Other stages hosted by Slambarz and Live From The Library continue to champion new voices, with spoken word, performance and alternative acts alongside the music programme. These spaces create opportunities for artists at all stages of their journey, from first festival appearances to established Sheffield names.
Tramlines also confirmed its full comedy line-up for 2026, with Dom Joly, Ross Noble, Reginald D Hunter, Emmanuel Sonubi and a host of stand-up names performing across the weekend.
Heading into its 17th year, Tramlines continues to blend big festival energy with Sheffield identity, championing music, creative development and culture in all forms.
Tickets saw an unprecedented demand, with Friday and Saturday both sold out. A limited number of final tier weekend tickets are on sale and running low.
Sunday tickets are still available, at £80 with a booking fee, and other upgraded options still available.
