Snooker legend turned techno DJ Steve Davis to play Tramlines

Six-time world snooker champion Steve has recently established himself as a techno DJ and is known for his passion for leftfield and experimental music.

He will feature in the Hybrid Vigour event at Millennium Gallery, curated by Sheffield experimental band Blood Sport – from the city’s The Audacious Art Experiment (TAAE) record label. It will also feature Bafta-nominated composer Mica Levi.

Joining the bill on the 17,500 capacity main stage are US rock band The Dandy Warhols, whose ten-album career and anthems including Bohemian Like You have earned them a loyal following.

Public Service Broadcasting return for their second slice of Tramlines, having garnered huge critical acclaim for their innovative live AV transmissions, which weave vintage public information film samples around live drums and electronica. 

Kate Jackson joins the bill on the newly-expanded, 7,000-capacity Devonshire Green stage. 

Best known as lead singer for The Long Blondes, she will perform tracks from her debut solo album British Road Movies, written in collaboration with Suede’s Bernard Butler.

London quartet Inheaven will play at the Leadmill, Nordic Giants will perform live soundtracks to a backdrop of award-winning short films at City Hall, and rising stars Eliza and the Bear showcase their shimmering indie-pop on Devonshire Green.
