Tramlines 2025 wrapped up with a bang, as Kasabian's headline set brought the Hillsborough Park party to a close. Up to 40,000 music lovers a day flocked to Sheffield's biggest music event, soaking up a weekend of top-tier performances and a palpable sense of local pride.
Pulp's long-awaited homecoming was undoubtedly a highlight. Jarvis Cocker and the band delivered a set that was both a love letter to Sheffield and a journey through their iconic back catalogue. From singalong classics like 'Disco 2000' to new tracks from their 2025 album 'More', Pulp had the crowd in the palm of their hand. Cocker's playful banter, including guessing fans' Sheffield postcodes and a nod to The Limit nightclub, added a personal touch that resonated with the Steel City faithful. Richard Hawley's guest appearance was the cherry on top.
The Reytons proved why they're one of the region's hottest acts with an ambitious and heartfelt performance on Saturday. Frontman Jonny Yerrell declared, "This is not our fanbase. This is our community," underscoring the band's deep connection with their supporters. The Reytons' commitment to their community extended beyond the stage, as they announced fundraising efforts to support a young Rotherham mum's medical treatment.
Kasabian closed out the festival in style, delivering a world-class set to an ecstatic audience. But the main stage wasn't the only place to catch incredible music. Heather Smalls, The Rizzle Kicks, and K Dot lit up 'T'Other Stage', while local organizations like Pattern + Push and Slambarz showcased Sheffield's vibrant emerging talent.

Beyond the music, Tramlines 2025 celebrated Sheffield's community spirit. Painted lions from Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity were displayed across the site, and St Luke's Hospice raised thousands for their vital work. Tramlines Operations Director Timm Cleasby perfectly captured the weekend's essence: "It's a real joy to see people just letting go and living their best lives in the middle of Hillsborough Park."
