Outlines Festival line-up announced

Now in its second year, Outlines is the little sister of Tramlines Festival and has expanded into a two-day event.

Outlines will showcase established and up-and-coming acts with Jagwar Ma, Slow Club, Lady Leshurr, The Crookes, Blood Sport, Islet, The Orielles and The Selecter among the key names announced so far.

The event - organised by some of the team behind Tramlines Festival - will take over multiple venues in Sheffield city centre from March 3 to 4, 2017.

Australian psychedelic rock outfit Jagwar Ma will be appearing at The Leadmill alongside alt-rock duo Slow Club, whose latest album One Day All Of This Won’t Matter Anymore sees the band experiment with an Americana-tinged sound while retaining the rich vocal harmonies of their earlier albums.

Additional Sheffield talent comes from indie-pop quartet The Crookes, who return to the city following their US tour.

Legendary two-tone pioneers The Selecter will play at Plug nightclub, the festival's largest venue, with an arsenal of hits including On My Radio and Three Minute Hero.

Emerging grime artist Lady Leshurr is just one of the hotly-tipped new acts on the bill and is sure to light up the colder months with her energetic live show.

The festival’s programmer, Kate Hewett, said: “We’ve expanded Outlines for its second year to allow us to showcase an even broader range of artists and to give more of a platform to breaking talent from across a range of genres." 

Emerging artists from across the country are also being encouraged to apply to play at the event, with a number of slots still available in all festival venues.

Weekend tickets cost £15.
