The Libertines, All Saints, and Metronomy have been announced as headliners of Tramlines Festival 2017.

The event held in Sheffield city centre is surely revealing its strongest line-up ever. Such a coup having The Libertines play a festival that isn't one of the biggest in the country

Meanwhile, All Saints will be a fantastic draw for a good dose of festive 90s nostalgia and Metronomy go with summer like salt does pepper.

Also on the bill aree Toots and the Maytals, The Coral, The Pharcyde, Twin Atlantic, Loyle Carner, Hot 8 Brass Band, Don Letts, Omar Souleyman, M.O, Cate Le Bon, Nadia Rose, Akala, We Are Scientists and more.

“After each festival, we turn to our audience to find out what they’d like to see at the next event,” said Tramlines director Sarah Nulty. “The overwhelming feedback was that people wanted to see bigger acts on the Tramlines stages. By streamlining Tramlines to three outdoor stages, it’s meant we could deliver something really special. Sheffield is often hailed as an ‘Outdoor City’, and has a ton of public parks, and a third of it sits within the glorious Peak District National Park. It is the UK’s leading destination for people seeking outdoor adventure, and we are excited to present an exclusively outdoor event for 2017.”

The Libertines have also been announced for Festival On The Wall where they'll headline alongside Pet Shop Boys.

Elsewhere, bassist John Hassall told Gigwise that The Libertines are hoping to get a live/work space in the UK. "The idea's definitely grown on me having a headquarters in the UK where we can all meet and have something that's our own. I think it will be really exciting actually. I want to get some cool furniture for that."
