There will also be a Tramlines Fringe in Devonshire Green and Peace Gardens, with DJ lineup including BBC6 Music broadcaster Chris Hawkins and Sheffield legend Winston Hazel. The halls will have their own concerts. For more details see www.theoutdoorcity.co.uk/fringeattramlines

There’s a lot of excitement about her upcoming fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introverted.
