Fringe Weekend

Get ready for a face-melting weekend of music at The Greenhouse in Sheffield as Drown the Lights and Black Tongue Events gather three pummelling lineups for The Fringe at Tramlines! Ring in Phat Friday on July 24th at 6:30pm with trad-metallers Ace of Kings, classic rockers Orion Stars, and the grunge-ulous XOX, before finishing off with Isaac Neilson’s 205th indie-rock odyssey in 2026 alone. Pure gigging graft!

Wake up early for unprecedented chuggage and eternal slammitude at the Saturday Breakdown Bonanza on July 25th, starting at 2pm. Father of Lies lines up the industrial sludge, and HAMEA knocks it straight back with a side of rap metal. Expired are bringing their filthiest riffs, but KevvyT will set the record straight with his one-man band all-singing all-dancing metalcore extravaganza that could only be rattled by breakdowns as heavy as what Void Empire are brandishing.

The Pandora’s Pain bunch drop the alt-grunge electro-scrunch before the evening is headlined by the indubitable Cartoons Can’t Die - breakdowns, shakedowns, and some kooky twists and turns to boot: make sure to tune in, because this is industrial electro- jazzpunk shiftcore shindiggery at it’s finest.

Treat your hangover with a nice chunky bowl of Genre Soup on Sunday 26th July at 2pm where punk rockers The Listen Ups face off against funkadelic classic rock The Abandoners while Parasite peer on with perfidious, pernicious post-psychedelc puissance. Bound By Burdens bring it back with nu-metals vibe that Rillington Place double down on. Lagomorphic classic rock legends Death By Bunny chill the spine with powerful orchestral arrangements, and F3INT bring the party straight back so that Honey Buzzard can see the evening out with their own brand of bedazzling britpop bops.
