Tramlines, the UK's largest inner city festival today released details of another wave of artists to appear at this years event.

Jim Jones Revue, Slow Club, The Crookes, Veronica Falls, Theme Park, Peggy Sue, Teleman and Everly Pregnant Brothers have been added to Sundays bill.
This year Barker’s Pool will be filled with street theatre and a new stage (Stage Two) will be on Rockingham Street showcasing a mix of leftfield and alternative artists. Yet another strong line-up has been confirmed over two days including New Young Pony Club, The Invisible, 2.54, Sky Larkin, Cheatahs, Thumpers, PINS, Menace Beach, Rolo Tomassi, Tall Ships, Wet Nuns, Lemuria, TTNG and Kagoule.
Steel City DJ and producer Toddla T returns to Tramlines with an expanded dance music programme and his new Toddla T Sound concept. Moving to a bigger venue and almost doubling its capacity, the expanded Toddla T line up will include Maurice Fulton, Forgemasters, Chris Duckenfield, Theo Parrish, Stylo G, David Rodigan MBE, Dub Phizix & Strategy, Dre Skull, DJ EZ and of course Toddla T Sound.
Sarah Nulty, Festival Director at Tramlines said: “We are really proud of this year’s line up and I think fans will agree that we’ve come back stronger than ever. We’ve got loads more in the pipeline to announce. Every year we put on literally hundreds of acts across the whole of the city so this is just the start.
“A few changes this year, the biggest being the introduction of a one off door charge of £6 per day, but we still have loads of free music and areas for people to enjoy. We’ve increased the capacity for Toddla, added a new stage and really enhanced our fringe."
“Tramlines really is a festival like no other. We give music fans a chance to see their favourite artists for just £6 a day. I’d say we are the best value festival out there and I can’t wait for the festival weekend now – things are really gearing up.”
60 of the city's music venues and performance spaces will be pulling out the stops staging hundreds of artists across Sheffield. Devonshire Green's Main Stage and the new and improved Stage Two will be home to some of the most exciting artists around.
There will be the welcome return of the Folk Forest, the Peace Gardens' World Stage, the Buskers Bus, Street Theatre, the Weston Park party and the Blues and Ale Trail - all with line up announcements to follow.
Tramlines Festival 2013 takes place at Various Venues throughout Sheffield from Fri 19th to Sun 21st July 2013
