by Emily Duff Sold-out Tramlines Festival will go ahead at full capacity in Sheffield’s Hillsborough Park from July 23rd to 25th as part of Events Research Programme following the likes of Download Festival that successfully took place over the 4th-6th or June. Announced just twenty five minutes ago (12pm, June 29th) that it will join the third phase of the Government’s Events Research Programme, this means the sold-out music festival will definitely take place at full capacity on 23rd to 25th July. With huge names like The Streets, Royal Blood and Richard Ashcroft headlining alongside Little Simz, BLOXX and others - Tramlines has a world-class lineup of music and culture prepared for the last weekend in July. Tramlines’ participation in the programme means the festival can go ahead independently of national reopening dates - meaning it’s not dependent on the loose July 19th date - and the audience will be able to enjoy the event without compulsory social distancing or masks.
