Kelis and Jurassic 5 added to Tramlines bill

MILKSHAKE singer Kelis and hip hop heroes Jurassic 5 have been added to the Tramlines line-up.

The new additions join Dizzee Rascal, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Field Music, Young Fathers, Dawn Penn, Toddla T, Goldie, Little Simz, Norman Jay and many more

The festival takes place from July 22 to 24 in Sheffield across four outdoor spaces and 15 venues across.

US singer Kelis will perform hits from her 15-year career and will close the Main Stage on Saturday.

Alternative hip-hop legends Jurassic 5 will headline on Sunday.

The critically-acclaimed group helped to shape the sound of hip-hop in the 90s.

Festival organisers have also added to the burgeoning list of guitar bands on the bill, with Mystery Jets and former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes both newly announced.

Elsewhere, much-hyped grime artist Novelist, dubstep-guru-turned-techno-master Skream, the stylish house grooves of Leon Vynehall, jazz drummer Paleman, Scuba, Boddika, Zed Bias, Tom Trago and Sheffield duo Sticky Blood all join the bill.

Now in its eighth year, Tramlines is a unique cultural experience, attracting over 100,000 festival-goers.

The 2016 ticketing system brings with it some changes, with the introduction of day and night tickets.
