Tramlines 2026 Expands Line-Up with Major Comedy Names and New Additions Across the Bill
Tramlines Festival has announced a major wave of new additions for 2026, including its full comedy line-up alongside a host of new artists and local talent set to perform at Hillsborough Park from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July. These additions add to an already stacked line-up including Fatboy Slim, Courteeners, Wolf Alice, Kaiser Chiefs, Blossoms and Wetleg.
Leading the comedy programme is Dom Joly, bringing the Trigger Happy TV: 25th anniversary show, alongside festival favourite Ross Noble and acclaimed stand-up Reginald D Hunter. They are joined across the weekend by Emmanuel Sonubi, Hayley Ellis, Tom Wrigglesworth, Danny McLoughlin, Tom Ward, Louise Young and Matt Reed, forming one of the festival’s strongest comedy offerings to date.
Alongside the comedy announcement, Tramlines has confirmed a wide range of new artists across its stages, adding further depth to an already packed 2026 line-up. These include emerging acts, returning Sheffield favourites and a broad mix of genres that reflect the festival’s ongoing commitment to new music and grassroots talent.
The announcement also brings a fresh spotlight on Tramlines’ curated stages and partnerships. Pattern + Push return with a full Saturday takeover made up entirely of female artists from Sheffield, marking a significant moment for representation on the bill. They will also take over slots on Friday’s T’Other Stage billing, with Sheffield’s genre-defier and regular Mungo’s HiFi collaborator, Aziza Jaye taking the festival’s second stage by storm. Across the weekend, stages hosted by Slambarz and Live From The Library continue to provide a platform for new voices, local performers and alternative programming, sitting alongside major headline sets.
