SHEFFIELD’S favourite ukulele-playing sons The Everly Pregnant Brothers have been added to the Tramlines bill along with a treat for Beatles fans.

The brothers will headline the newly-expanded Devonshire Green stage on Friday night alongside other Sheffield acts including Velocity Brown and the Hotrods and The Stars Band. 

The stage has an increased capacity for 2016 and can now hold up to 7,500 revellers. 

A specially assembled Sheffield supergroup will also come together to perform The Beatles’ legendary Revolver LP in full to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

Velocity Brown and the Hotrods are an authentic rockabilly band who have entertained Glastonbury crowds and have become a fixture of the 50s revival scene. 

The Stars Band was formed by a music project for people with a range of disabilities.

The talented musicians have played together for six years and have entertained Tramlines audiences at the Peace Gardens stage in previous years and this will be their first main stage performance.

Also on Devonshire Green, the Revolver 50th Anniversary Project celebrates 50 years since the release of The Beatles’ seminal seventh album, which is frequently listed as one of the top albums ever made. 

Sheffield musicians including former members of Screaming Maldini, Hey Sholay, 7 Black Tentacles and current members of Rengade Brass Band have joined forces to create a one-off performance of the full album, excusively for Tramlines 2016.

This year marks the eighth Tramlines festival and 100,000 are expected to turn out over the weekend of July 22 to 24 to see the already-announced likes of Dizzee Rascal, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Jurassic 5, Kelis, George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic, The Dandy Warhols, The Mystery Jets, Gaz Coombes, Dawn Penn, Crazy P Soundsystem, Goldie, Craig Charles, Field Music, Hinds, Little Simz, The Enemy, Norman Jay, Toddla T, and Young Fathers.
