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.
