Rock the Mountain… or get rocked by it.
Strap on your boots, dig out your band tees, and pack that waterproof poncho (we are in Wales, after all) — because the Steelhouse Festival 2025 set times have officially landed! Whether you’re a hilltop veteran or a first-timer wondering how the hell you’re getting a crate of cider up a gravel slope, this is the guide you need. Bookmark it, print it, tattoo it on your mate’s arm. Let’s go. 🤘

🏔️ FINAL THOUGHTS FROM THE MOUNTAIN
Steelhouse 2025 isn’t just a festival — it’s a rite of passage. Whether you’re here for the legendary headliners or to discover your new favourite band halfway up a windswept mountain, this weekend will deliver the goods.
Remember:
- Hydrate (beer doesn’t count, but we’ll pretend it does).
- Bring your meds, sunscreen, and a torch.
- Be nice to each other. Especially the guy struggling with a crate of Strongbow on his head.
We’ll see you up there. Rock on, rain or shine. 🌧️☀️
