Tramlines Festival 2025
Sheffield proudly welcomes Tramlines festival to Hillsborough Park on Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 July with headline acts from Pulp, Reytons and Kasabian.

Travelling to and from the event
Changes to evening Tram services
Blue and Yellow route services
In the evening a revised tram service will operate. This is expected to be from 21:30 to 23:00 on Friday and Saturday, and 20:30 to 22:00 on Sunday.
During the above times:
- Regular timetabled Blue and Yellow route services will terminate at Shalesmoor for Kelham Island. This is due to road closures in the Hillsborough area and to ensure safety of pedestrians.
- Event special trams are expected to operate for customers leaving the festival. Signage inside Hillsborough Park will guide you towards the correct exit for Leppings Lane tram stop.
- Trams will only allow boarding at Leppings Lane (towards the city). All other tram stops in the area will be closed (Middlewood, Leppings Lane [towards Middlewood], Hillsborough Park, Malin Bridge, Hillsborough Interchange).
- To ensure safety, special event trams may also be unable to stop at Bamforth Street, Langsett/Primrose View and Infirmary Road.

Local road closures and traffic management
Roads will be very busy after the festival which may cause congestion and prevent services from operating normal routes. Localised road closures will be in place after the event to help people leave the festival safely. Please follow signage and any guidance from staff and police.

The festival finishes at 22:30 on Friday and Saturday and 21:30 on Sunday. Trams, buses and taxis will be available to take people home.
