Budding musicians, bands, and artists can now Apply To Play at Sheffield’s Tramlines Festival, which takes place at Hillsborough Park from Friday 19 July to Sunday 21 July 2019.


Up-and-coming artists can apply to bag a career-changing slot at the festival where, if successful, they’ll be added to a bill alongside the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, Courteeners and Nile Rogers and Chic.

Timm Cleasby operations director at Tramlines said: We’ve always championed new and local talent at Tramlines. It’s been a highlight for me every year and this year will be no different. We have some great slots across all stages for new artists this year, and it’s open to all. Last year was a massive success with slots being filled by Universal Tree, Little Grace and Saint Petersburg to name a few. I love the excitement of hearing my new favourite band on one of our stages and I can’t wait to see who’s in this year.”
