The Fringe at Tramlines

Thu. 24 July 2025 — Sun. 27 July 2025

Free

Sheffield turns into one giant dancefloor for a weekend each July.

With the official Tramlines Festival action taking place over in Hillsborough Park, there’s loads of fun to be had at the fringe events right across the city.

While Devonshire Green plays host to the main Tramlines Fringe stage, countless pubs, bars and venues put together their own lineups for the weekend.

It’s here where you’ll discover a new genre of music you never knew existed, the most exciting emerging talent from the local scene, and your new favourite music venue.

The best part? Much of the fringe is free! Meaning you can wind your way from venue to venue, checking out the varied lineups on offer.

Come back closer to the time for our guide to this year's fringe.
