The Reytons on becoming 'first unsigned band to headline Tramlines'
Indie rock band The Reytons have said that becoming the first unsigned band to headline Sheffield's Tramlines Festival will be "extra special".The group, from Rotherham, will perform on the main stage at Hillsborough Park in front of thousands of revellers on headline acts this year include Sheffield band Pulp and Leicester rockers ahead of the gig, Reytons bass player Lee Holland said: "We are going to put on the show of a lifetime". The band formed in 2017 and released their debut album, Kids Off The Estate, in up of frontman Jonny Yerrell, Holland, guitarist Joe O'Brien and drummer Jamie Todd, they scored a UK number one album with their self-released What's Rock And Roll? in 2023. They said having been given the opportunity to headline Tramlines, which runs from Friday to Sunday, was "exciting"."I feel like it's going to be extra special because of the struggle it's taken to get where we are," Holland said. "There's been lots of doors shut and lots of people not on the phone and lots of emails not being replied to and we're finally here now and it's out of nothing more than absolute persistence."He added: "We are headlining it and we're going to put on the show of a lifetime." Tramlines Festival said The Reytons topping the bill on Saturday was "another big moment for the local scene".Alex Deadman, festival organiser, said: "South Yorkshire is such a hotbed of creativity and music. Sheffield gets some attention but Rotherham is often overlooked."The Reytons have done wonders to help shed a light on this part of the world."He added: "Their show at Clifton Park last year was spectacular and their Tramlines performance will be a real moment to remember." Festival dates & times Gates open at 12:00 BST on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the last entry at 19: will finish at 22:15 on Friday and Saturday, and at 21:15 on Sunday, with the festival remaining open for an additional 30 minutes is not permitted.

Tramlines Festival 2025 – who's headlining, set times and weather forecast
Tramlines Festival 2025 is taking place this weekend, and bosses behind the scenes have released all the details you need to know, including set times and who's performing on what stage Tramlines Festival is kicking off today, and fans can expect huge names across the weekend. This weekend's event, held at Hillsborough Park, Sheffield, will be headlined by two locals, Pulp, The Reytons and also Leicester rockers, Kasabian, on the Sarah Nulty main stage. Bosses have gone all out once again for the annual event, which pulls in the biggest names across music and comedy, as well as giving a platform to lesser-known musicians. Speaking about having Pulp headline, Tramlines' Alex Deadman said: "The first year I was properly part of the team was 2011, and they were talking about it then. "They were a bit out of our reach. It's wonderful to see it happen again. Since the booking came in, obviously, they've exploded. There's the album and Glastonbury. Every time I turn the TV on, they seem to be talking about Pulp." He went on to tell BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's going to be one of those moments." Reflecting on The Reytons headlining on Saturday, Alex added: "Two local headliners, I don't know how we'll top that. People might remember the Clifton Park gig, and that was such a good moment; it breathed life into the park. "There were more than 20,000 people there, so yeah, I don't know what we'll do next year." Speaking about Pulp being booked, Alex said: "When I heard that the booking had been made, I was absolutely thrilled. I think it's only the fourth or fifth time they've played in Sheffield since the millennium. I don't think that they've ever done anything big outdoors. I actually went to see Pulp in 1996 at the [Sheffield] Arena, one of the first gigs I went to. It was the week he [Jarvis Cocker] had been at the BRIT Awards with Michael Jackson." Back for its 17th year, Tramlines have ensured that everybody is catered for, with the likes of The K's, John Cooper Clarke, Natasha Bedingfield, Heather Small, Rizzle Kicks, The Rosadocs, Scouting For Girls, Red Rum Club, The Clause, and The Royston Club all performing on various stages. Around 40,000 music and comedy lovers will flock to Hillsborough and soak up the atmosphere at the Sarah Nulty main stage, T'Other Stage, The Leadmill Stage, The Open Arms, and The Library. If you're heading to Hillsborough Park, here's everything you need to know – including the weather and set times. What's the weather like? The Mirror approached the Met Office for their weather forecast for this weekend. A spokesperson said: "Festivalgoers at Hillsborough Park should prepare for cloudier skies on Friday, with the possibility of light rain, particularly over western hills. The weekend will be influenced by the broader westerly regime, with showers or longer spells of rain likely. Sheffield's position in the north means breezy conditions are also possible, and rain could be more persistent at times." On Friday, the Met Office have forecast sunshine throughout the day, with the highest temperature being 23 degrees at 4pm. Meanwhile, weather conditions are expected to be the same on Saturday, with 4pm hitting 22 degrees. But on Sunday, those in attendance can expect some light clouding starting at 1am and lasting until around 4pm. The temperature is also set to drop, ever so slightly, with the hottest temperature being 20 degrees at 4pm. Set times Friday The Sarah Nulty Main Stage 20:30-22:15 Pulp 18:30-19:30 Spiritualized 16:45-17:30 Baxter Dury 15:30-16:00 Oracle Sisters Ed Cosens 14:15 14:45 13:15-13:45 Femur 12:15-12:45 Spanish Horses T'Other Stage 19:30-21:00 The Leadmill Presents Abba Party 18:30-19:30 Hot Chip DJ Set 17:15-18:00 John Grant 16:00-16:30 | Monster 14:15-15:15 John Cooper Clarke Comedy @T'Other Stage 13:25 13:55 John Shuttleworth 13:00-13:15 Nina Gilligan 12:40 - 12:55 Danny Mcloughlin 12:30-12:40 Justin Moorhouse The Leadmill 19:30-20:15 Fat White Family 17:30-18:15 Lisa O'neill 16:15-16:45 Beguiling Junior 14:45-15:15 Cloud Canyons 13:45-14:15 The Second World War 12:45-13:15 George Redwood The Library 20:00-22:00 The Leadmill Presents Xcx World 18:00-19:30 Queer Cxntry 16:30-17:30 Karauke 15:00-15:45 Feminem The Open Arms 20:00-20:30 Marples 19:00-19:30 Molly And The Dolly Shop 17:45 18:15 Magnolia 16:30-17:00 Jetski 15:00-15:30 Fear Of Marko 13:45-14:15 The Rolling People 12:45 13:15 Ellie Evans Saturday The Sarah Nulty Main Stage 20:45 22:15 The Reytons 18:45 19:45 Franz Ferdinand 17:00-17:45 Jake Bugg 15:45 16:15 Natasha Bedingfield 14:45-15:15 The K's 13:15-14:15 Everly Pregnant Brothers 12:15-12:45 The Leadmill Studio Orchestra T'other Stage 20:45-21:45 Rizzle Kicks 19:15 20:15 Leadmill DJs 18:15-18:45 Heather Small 17:00-17:30 Chloe Slater 15.45-16:15 Kdot 14:45-15:15 Danny Mellin Comedy @T'Other Stage 13:50 14:20 Lucy Beaumont 13:30-13:45 Jenny Collier 13:10 13:25 Hayley Ellis 13:00-13:10 Sally-Anne Hayward The Leadmill 19:45 - 20:30 The Futureheads 18:00-18:45 The Rosadocs 16:30-17:00 Freddie Halkon 15:15-15:45 Daydreamers 14:15 14:45 She's In Parties 12:50 13:20 The Denabys 12:10-12:30 Daisy Peacock The Library 20:00-22:00 The Leadmill Presents Club Tropicana 18:25 19:25 Sing It Back 16:55 -17:55 Not A Band 15:50-16:35 The In-here Brother 15:00-15:30 In Conversation With Andy Dennis, Doctors Without Borders 14:15-14:45 The Stars Band 12:30-14:00 Slambarz Presents Speakers Corner The Open Arms Pattern + Push 19:40 20:25 Big Ang 19:00-19:25 Prido 18:20-18:45 Lavelle 17:40-18:05 Nørskov 17:00-17:25 Kaesu & Alex Fb 16:20 16:45 Leo Miyagee 15:40 16:05 Josie Wray 15:00-15:25 Kid Blu3 14:30-14:45 Surtees 13:50-14:15 Namywa 13:15 13:35 Kali 12:30-13:00 Kyla C Hosted By Jxk Sunday The Sarah Nulty Main Stage 19:45-21:15 Kasabian 17:45 18:45 The Last Dinner Party 16:00-16:45 The Lathums 14:45-15:15 The Sherlocks 13:30-14:15 Scouting For Girls 12:30-13:00 Sundress T'other Stage 19:45 20:45 Sigrid 17:45 18:45 Red Rum Club 16:15-16:45 Cmat 15:15-15:45 Luvcat 14:15 14:45 Hannah Rowe Comedy @t'other Stage 13:10-13:50 Russell Howard 12:55 13:10 Tom Ward 12:40 12:50 Jojo Sutherland 12:30 12:40 Emmanuel Sonubi The Leadmill 18:45 19:30 The Royston Club 17:00-17:45 The Clause 15:30-16:00 Cliffords 14:15 14:45 Mackenzie 13:00-13:30 Cowz 12:10-12:30 April Tapes The Library 19:45 - 21:15 The Leadmill Presents Taylor's Version 18:15 19:15 The Oktoberfest Band 16:30 17:45 Hip Hop Karaoke Buffos Wake 15:15 - 16:15 Buffos Wake 12:40-14:45 Slambarz Presents Speakers Corner The Open Arms 19:00-19:30 Long Island 17:25 17:55 Montello 16:15-16:45 Flat Moon 15:15-15:45 Sacha T 14:20 14:50 Freddy Forbidden 13:20-13:50 Pia Rose

The WhatsApp from my daughter on a Saturday night in Manchester made me feel sick with worry
Giving teenagers the freedom to enjoy themselves unaccompanied by adults is far from easy. We're putting trust in them to be sensible, but also putting trust in places and organisations that are out of our control. Following the dreadful terrorist attack at Manchester Arena in 2017, it's inevitable that it crosses my mind when my daughter is going to a concert. READ MORE: I made one of Jamie Oliver's £1 Wonders And Money Saving Meals, he's having a laugh at our expense READ MORE: 'I created a smart kitchen on a budget with 14 Amazon gadgets' Not just at the Arena of course, but any of the city's big music venues. At the very least I would expect that each person needs to show their ticket on entry. Surely that's a minimum requirement? Yet on Saturday, when she went to watch The Reytons at Aviva Studios, she sent me a message that made me feel sick with worry. At 16 she's only just old enough to attend without an adult, but she's quite good at sending me updates to let me know all is okay. After an initial message shortly after 7pm to say she was 'in the queue', 30 minutes later came the WhatsApp 'we got let in without tickets being checked'. It's the last thing any parent wants to hear. How can anyone be policing who is inside and how many people are inside, if tickets aren't even being checked? Her bag was checked and anyone without a bag was being patted down, but another concert-goer told us security was poor and claimed he didn't have his pockets checked. Lax security in such venues comes as no surprise to Figen Murray, whose son Martyn Hett was one of the 22 people to lose their lives in the Manchester Arena bombing. Since then she has championed the call for 'Martyn's Law', which would bring in legislation to better protect venues from terrorism. The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill is designed to improve public safety by requiring all venues with a capacity of more than 200 to take simple steps to ensure they have a plan in place in case of an attack on their premises. Following a long-running, heartfelt and determined campaign by Figen - backed by the Manchester Evening News - it passed through the commons in December. Once it's been signed by the King, there'll be a two-year implementation period for venues to become fully compliant. After that period has passed people can face prosecution for not keeping customers and staff safe if something bad happens and they are seen not to have done what they should have done. Responding to tickets not being checked at Aviva, Figen said: "Martyn's Law is about to become official legislation over the next few weeks. This will mean that venues up and down the country will have to step up their security provision to keep staff and customers safe from harm. At the moment security at venues is a recommendation only. "Whilst a lot of venues are busy preparing for the legislation and have significantly increased and improved their security measures, incidences of tickets not being checked, bags not being searched and security measures being poor will still happen. "The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill - Martyn's Law - will change this. Once the legislation is in place, it will empower the general public to ask for better security if they feel it is somewhat lacking. The general public will have a legal right to be kept safe from harm." A spokesperson for Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International, said: "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take the security of guests at our venue extremely seriously. We are reviewing the protocol for the evening in question."
