Despite a confirmed 2024 line up overflowing with big names and rising stars, Tramlines managed to keep it under wraps until cheeky miniature bottles of Sheffield’s renowned Henderson’s Relish arrived in the post at addresses across the UK. Each bottle revealed an artist’s name, as tasty as the Henderson’s itself, and only added to the overall excitement around this year’s line up launch.

Sheffield’s Biggest Party is not just about the established or the headline talents, as anyone who has been will vouch for, but a vibrant festival packed full of emerging new and local talent. This commitment led to Tramlines winning the ‘Best Festival For Emerging Talent’ at the 2023 UK Festival Awards. Tipped for great things, festival-goers at Tramlines should make time to check out sets from former busker and now prepping to release his debut album, Dylan John Thomas – another rising star having sold out the Barrowland Ballroom three times in 2023 in his home city, Glasgow. Dublin’s garage punk trailblazers Sprints play their first Tramlines as they celebrate their debut album crashing the national top 20 albums chart. Bedroom pop prodigy and current Radio 1 playlist fave Flowerovlove also debuts at Tramlines. And Sheffield’s first Poet Laureate and hip hop artist, Otis Mensah will take to the stage to dazzle with insightful lyrics and stylish grooves.
