The first headline act has been announced for the 2024 edition of Steelhouse Festival.
The classic rock weekender will return to its picturesque mountain top location at Hafod-Y-Dafal Farm in Ebbw Vale, Wales next summer.
Organisers have revealed that returning local favourites Skindred (pictured) will top the bill on the Saturday (July 27). Other acts confirmed include US rockers Mr. Big, The Last Internationale, The Commoners, Jared James Nichols, James And The Cold Gun, Creeping Jean, and Zac and The New Men.
The event will also pay tribute to the late Bernie Marsden on its opening night (July 26), with Bernie Fest featuring a headline set from the Bernie Fest Allstars, comprising FM guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick and Hand Of Dimes frontman Nev MacDonald. Also set to perform that day is King King, Elles Bailey, Oli Brown and The Dead Collective, and The Zac Schulze Gang. Festival organisers Mikey Evans and Max Rhead commented:
"We are absolutely buzzed to welcome the mighty Skindred back for their second Steelhouse headline set. They’re at the very top of their game – a UK number 2 album, a completely sold out UK and European tour, appearances on international mega-bills and even Jools Holland! They’re now doing their own arena shows. Everyone knows of their incendiary live performances. People, get ready, The Newport Helicopter is landing on The Steelhouse Mountain!
"And what do you say about Mr. Big? Incredible musicianship, huge hits in a career that spans decades. Individually they are, quite simply legends, collectively they have always been beyond belief. It’s an absolute honour to have them with us. Once again we are looking forward to hosting our visitors – old friends and new, musicians and fans – who come from far and wide to experience the festival on the mountain-top in Wales. We're looking forward to welcoming you all... Iechyd da!"
