Steelhouse – the festival on the top of a Welsh mountain – have confirmed who now will headline and close out the festival’s 15th year celebrations on Sunday the 26th July 2026. None other than the mighty Steel Panther. And just to make sure Steelhouse Sunday is the most party hard day we’ve ever had on The Mountain, we’re also adding another bunch of Californian rascals to the bill, none other than Ugly Kid Joe! When it comes to a live show they know what’s required…Anyone who has seen them lately will attest to that. Let the good times roll!’ With Bobbie Dazzle, Hollow Souls and Black Lakes also announced, this is going to be another amazing year. What’s more is that there is good news in that there are still more bill announcements to come, but bad news as very limited glamping options remain, so don’t delay if you want to join the fun.
Max and Mikey said, “Thank you all for your patience and sticking with us, we know it’s been a while coming, but replacing a Dee-shaped hole at the top of a festival bill is no small undertaking… However, we are pleased to announce that the party is flying in directly from California to save the day… Making their only UK festival appearance this summer, will you please welcome, heavy metal icons and golfing experts… Quite simply the greatest band of all time…STEEL PANTHER!! Add to that the incredible Ugly Kid Joe and we are really rocking.”
“And whilst you’re picking yourself up off the floor after those two…We’ve also got another three additions this time round all showcasing a different strand of the rock universe. First up, joining the opening day’s line-up it’s Kris Barras’ soul and blues-infused, Hollow Souls. Saturday we’ll witness – quite possibly – the first flute solo on a Steelhouse stage care of retro-glam chanteuse, Bobbie Dazzle and we carry on our tradition of nurturing spectacular Welsh talent with fast rising alt-rock outfit, Black Lakes, who will open that same day.”
Also confirmed are The Temperance Movement and Saturday night special guests, Reef. Alien Ant Farm, make their first trip to the Mountain with Tyketto, Von Hertzen Brothers, Darren Wharton’s Renegade, Mason Hill, Dan Byrne, Luke Morley, Anthony Gomes, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, AMH, Parker Barrow, LN, King Kraken, and Blue Nation.
