Perched high atop the Gwent Valley at Hafod-y-Dafal Farm, Steelhouse Festival 2025 is ready to Rock the Mountain once again. Known for its unbeatable views, intimate atmosphere, and pure love for hard rock, Steelhouse has earned its place as one of the UK’s most beloved boutique rock festivals. As fans prepare to ascend the mountain road and trade burning clutches for campsite camaraderie, the anticipation is palpable for the festival’s 13th edition.
This year’s headliners are nothing short of iconic. Making their Steelhouse debut, W.A.S.P. promises a set that’s both nostalgic and electrifying with their Album One Alive tour. Sunday’s top billing sees Welsh heroes Those Damn Crows returning to home soil, fresh off a UK No. 1 album. Their set is bound to be an emotional, triumphant celebration for fans and locals alike—an unforgettable way to close the weekend.
The festival kicks off in raucous style with the return of Ginger and The Wildhearts. Friday’s chaos continues with Asomvel, Wolfsbane, and Wednesday 13, all bringing high-octane energy and their own brand of madness. On Saturday, expect a dynamic range of acts from Jayler and Scarlet Rebels to special guest Lita Ford, backed by shred queen Sophie Lloyd and blues-rocker Kris Barras.
Sunday brings fresh blood and seasoned talent together, from rising stars Tailgunner to returning favourites Those Wicked Rivers. Modern metal act The Raven Age and Aussie rockers Wolfmother will no doubt leave their mark on the mountain before the weekend ends. Across all three days, the lineup blends legacy and discovery, making sure there’s something for every kind of rock fan.
But Steelhouse is more than just music—it’s a community. With 5,000 dedicated fans, affordable pints, and a famously friendly vibe, this isn’t your average rock festival. Whether it’s your first time or your thirteenth, one thing’s for sure: there really is no other location like it. Steelhouse Festival 2025 is set to be a high-altitude celebration of everything we love about rock ‘n’ roll.
