Steelhouse Festival 2025 is set for July 25 - 27 at Haford-Y-Dafal Farm in Ebbw Vale, South Wales. The festival is presented by Planet Rock. Organizers have issued the following:
2025 marks the 14th iteration of Steelhouse, a now essential fixture on the summer festival map. This first wave of announcements includes the Friday and Saturday headliners, and proves once again that Steelhouse means business. There are more artist announcements to come soon, including the Sunday night headliners!
Legendary L.A. metal outfit, W.A.S.P., led by the inimitable Blackie Lawless make their Steelhouse debut appearance with a Saturday headlining set full of classics. It will be their only 2025 UK festival appearance.
Re-energized Brit-rockers, The Wildhearts plan to set the festival alight with their Friday headline appearance - their first Welsh date since their re-activation.
As ever the headliners are supported by an incredible array of the finest talent in rock. Steelhouse can already confirm that Wolfsbane make their first trip to the mountain appearing alongside Ginger’s men on Friday whilst former Runaways icon, Lita Ford makes it a double bill of Sunset Strip star names on Saturday as special guest.
Wolfsbane said, “We’re so excited about the Steelhouse Festival. We love any excuse to do a Wolfsbane show!! It’s all our original members from the first album. We will be performing big hits, and a couple of new songs from our new album, Genius. Jase says playing our song ‘Steel’ at Steelhouse is PERFECT! We just can’t wait”.
Asomvel, Kit Trigg, Marisa & The Moths, Muddibrooke, Tailgunner, These Wicked Rivers, The Treatment and Scarlet Rebels are all set to appear and represent the cream of the contemporary UK rock scene.
Tickets are on sale now. For those wanting to spread the cost, a monthly payment plan has been introduced on weekend arena tickets AND for the first time VIP upgrades have been introduced for those wanting VIP bar access, luxury facilities and other bonuses!
Max and Mikey say, “What a way to start! If you’re looking for artists who’ve done it their way and theirs alone then we’ve got them.
“We’re delighted to have W.A.S.P. finally make their Steelhouse debut. Blackie Lawless is the definition of ‘rock star’ - trailblazer, headline maker, showman and supreme songwriter... The real deal. That show, those songs ringing out over The Mountain on Steelhouse Saturday, you’ll scream and you'll like it!”
“Then there’s Lita Ford, core member of the Runaways, solo star, a true icon and if you’re looking for a true original, then look no further than Ginger Wildheart. We’re delighted he’s re-activated The Wildhearts and the first show in the Land of our Fathers is Steelhouse. Their Friday headline show promises to be an absolute assault on the senses fired of course by Ginger-grade song power.”
Ginger Wildheart added, “We’re going to blow your mountain up and take some of it home to harness the hard rock power. Let’s fucking have this."
The Festival at the top of the mountain boasts not only the best views of any UK rock event but one of the most passionate, friendly and loyal followings. With a reputation for not only bringing in the biggest and best names from the international world of Rock, Steelhouse also understands the role it can play in throwing open its prestigious stage to the best of the new breed of bands. It all adds up to a compelling mix of classic and cutting edge Rock, old and new.
“So, once again let's get ready to Rocio y Mynydd / Rock the Mountain!”
