I don’t think it’s a coincidence that one of the best urban festivals in the country lives right here, in our fair city of Sheffield. Sheffield has stood alongside Manchester and Liverpool as one of the great Northern musical cities, and we get to prove it again and again, every year, with Tramlines.

We all know and love Tramlines, so I’m not going to bother trying to tell you why you should go. Chances are, if you’re reading this article then you’re already going to be there in some shape or form. So without further ado, here is the official schedule as to when all the Alya Records artists will be playing Tramlines.
