Sheffield Tramlines Fringe will return to a free live music event

Music lovers will be treated to a weekend full of live shows in Sheffield next month when The Fringe at Tramlines returns to the city.

The event will return with the Tramlines Festival, which is due to take place at Hillsborough Park on July 27 and 28.

Organizers of The Fringe said it would showcase “the best the city has to offer” on a main stage on Devonshire Green and in the city’s pubs, clubs and bars.

The main stage will be organized by promoter Alan Deadman and included performances by DJ, poet and dancer Ripton Lindsey and the Sheffield Street Robots, organizers said.

There would also be a collaboration between WaterBear College of Music and Tracks Sheffield Music School, which would showcase Sheffield’s best emerging talent, they added.

It would feature Good Damage from WaterBear and two competition winners from Tracks.

Also taking part will be Sheffield-based all-female group Sparkle Sistaz from Under the Stars, a charity whose aim was to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities through music and theatre.

Meanwhile, Highway Child, Speed ​​for Lovers, Solar Love Society, Mango Rescue Team, Shanghai Treason, Shine Choir, Jungle Lion, Soul Battalion and Blue Street Brass were also on the bill, organizers said.

Diane Jarvis, from Sheffield BID, which sponsors the festival, said the organization was “delighted” to continue its partnership with The Fringe.

“The Fringe at Tramlines continues to provide an inclusive and diverse event experience,” she said.

“We look forward to another vibrant and colorful experience for downtown visitors.”

Lisa Firth, director of parks, leisure and libraries at Sheffield City Council, added: “The Fringe at Tramlines takes us back to where the festival started 15 years ago with a full weekend of free live music in our city centre, showcasing some of the best talent the city has to offer.

“We’re looking forward to another fantastic Tramlines Fringe with another great line-up.”
