After the likes of homegrown Pulp and Kasabian took the stage in 2025, Tramlines are seemingly sticking to its routes in the indie rock setup for 2026’s festival.
They’ve announced the perfect set of headliners spread evenly across the days, with the likes of Fatboy Slim and Kaiser Chiefs opening the Friday night, Courteeners and Blossoms bringing a Manchester-fuelled evening to Saturday, and finally Wolf Alice and Wet Leg showcasing the dominance of female-led bands on Sunday night.
There is a fair share of up-and-coming bands and well-established classics also spread across the lineup, with Rick Astley, Keo, The Guest List and The Royston Club showing up on the festival billing.
If there’s one thing guaranteed, it’s that you’ll find a lot of red and baby blue football shirts spaced across the Saturday, with Manchester legends Courteeners and Blossoms headlining what seems like the perfect guitar rock night.
While Friday night will bring lots of nostalgic throwbacks to early 2000s electronica with Fatboy Slim’s classics like Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat and Praise You, for sure to cause havoc. But it’s the Sunday night that seems most appealing, with London’s Wolf Alice stepping up for their first headline set ever, with support from Wet Leg as well.
Tramlines have pulled off a masterclass of a lineup for 2026’s festival that no one will want to miss out on. Tickets are on sale now — grab one here.
