The Libertines to headline Sheffield’s Tramlines Festival

The Libertines will headline Sheffield’s Tramlines festival in July.

They head Metronomy, The Coral, We Are Scientists, Twin Atlantic, Loyle Carner and more. Tramlines has narrowed to become an exclusively outdoor event for 2017, across three stages, as director Sarah Nulty explains: “After each festival, we turn to our audience to find out what they’d like to see at the next event. The overwhelming feedback was that people wanted to see bigger acts on the Tramlines stages. By streamlining Tramlines to three outdoor stages, it’s meant we could deliver something really special.”

“Sheffield is often hailed as an ‘Outdoor City’, and has a ton of public parks, and a third of it sits within the glorious Peak District National Park. It is the UK’s leading destination for people seeking outdoor adventure, and we are excited to present an exclusively outdoor event for 2017.”
