Sheffield prepares for The Fringe at Tramlines, with venues such as The Frog and Parrot hosting numerous emerging bands and DJs as part of the city’s large free urban music festival. Organisers and local businesses highlight the event’s role in supporting new talent, increasing footfall and boosting the city centre economy. This year features an expanded Devonshire Green main stage, new programming including a Friday DJ session, and contributions from promoters, stores and community partners, supported by Sheffield BID and the council.
