Sheffield’s finest, Reverend and The Makers, will bring crowd pleasers as well as the teasers from the new album and The Everly Pregnant Brothers will entertain the audience with their hilarious spoof covers.

Day tickets plus the remaining small batch of weekend tickets will go on sale on Friday, February 3, at 12pm. The first batch of day tickets cost from only £50 (plus booking fee). A handful of weekend tickets, priced at £140 (plus booking fee), will be avalable. For tickets go to www.tramlines.org.uk.

The appearance of Richard Ashcroft will be bringing down the Main Stage curtain on Friday night, followed by The Courteeners’ return on Saturday in a historic year where the band’s classic debut album, St Jude, went to number one in the album charts, 15 years after its original release. The Sunday headline slot is always a special one, and who better to host it than the infallible duo, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.

Tramlines operations director Timm Cleasby said: “This year’s line-up is a cracker with some awesome names. My personal must-sees this year are Kate Nash, Rachel Chinouriri, Rumbi Tauro, Sugababes, the funny Paul Smith, and Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott. The turns are booked, the party’s on and you’re all invited.”
