Tramlines Festival has just got bigger and better
Other | Wednesday 18th March 2015 | Christina
The line-up for Tramlines Festival has just got even bigger thanks to an injection of electronic and alternative artists to the 2015 bill. New acts to perform in Sheffield from 24-26 July include Ninja Tune’s Romare, 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson, the young talent of Evian Christ, the legendary A Guy Called Gerald, a DJ set from Basement Jaxx and many more.
Now in its seventh year with The Charlatans, Basement Jaxx and Wu Tang Clan already in place to headline, Tramlines is one of the UK’s most musically eclectic festivals. Held across multiple outdoor spaces and venues across Sheffield city centre, Tramlines is the alternative festival to discover a ton of hot new talent alongside internationally acclaimed acts – and it's seriously good value for money at just £30 for a weekend ticket.
For fans of house and techno, there’s plenty on offer as Tramlines has topped up the bill with the minimal warehouse techno sounds of Sheffield’s Lo Shea; acid house and techno from Berlin-based Klasse Recordings founder Luca Lozano; and bags of grime-inspired house and techno from Pev n Kowton of the Livity Sound trio.
Keeping its late night programme as diverse as possible, Tramlines has drafted in talent which spans the bass music scenes. Acts include a live set from South London producer Henry Wu; local residents from the hugely popular Banana Hill night, Cervo & JVC, with their flamboyant crossover of African and Latin American sounds; emerging hip-hop producer Cypria; dancehall and UK bass artist Serocee; and jazz.hip-hop artist Sumochief.
Tramlines festival director Sarah Nulty commented, “We are very excited to add even more fantastic and diverse artists to the bill. We want to ensure that the night at Tramlines is a strong as the daytime. We almost have a continual run of music for 24 hours a day, and with all this in store, we expect people will be getting very little sleep this year!”
