On the new announcements, Tramlines festival director Sarah Nulty commented: “We knew we had to pull out something special to follow the likes of Public Enemy and Sister Sledge last year, and we think we’ve done it with 2015's headliners. We're really excited to welcome some true legends to the Tramlines stages. As ever, there's a ton of great breaking talent on this year's bill too, and we can't wait for people to tell us about discovering their new favourite band.”

Weekend tickets can be purchased from www.tramlines.org.uk for only £30, which makes Tramlines one of the UK’s best value festivals to attend.
