Fifteen glorious years of rocking the mountain โ and Steelhouse Festival are celebrating in proper style, mun! ๐ด
For SHXV (24thโ26th July 2026), the Welsh rock summit is going bigger, louder, and madder than ever beforeโฆ and the line-up is already shaping up to be one for the ages.
๐ค THE LEGENDS RETURN: TWISTED SISTER HEADLINE SUNDAY
If ever there was a band made for Steelhouse, itโs Twisted Sister.
Marking an awe-inspiring 50 years of pure metal chaos, Dee Snider and his crew are set to unleash a mountain-shaking set of anthems โ and yes, youโd better believe โWeโre Not Gonna Take Itโ is going to echo all the way to Abergavenny. ๐ฅ
This isnโt just nostalgia โ itโs a full-blown celebration of rebellion, riffs, and face-melting showmanship.
Dee Sniderโs legendary roar, the makeup, the attitudeโฆ this will be the Steelhouse Sunday to end all Sundays. Get ready to COME OUT AND PLAY! ๐ค
๐ธ FRIDAY HEADLINER: THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Itโs a proper Steelhouse reunion, butt! ๐ฅ
From the festivalโs earliest days to their rise as one of the UKโs most beloved modern rock bands, The Temperance Movement have a long history with the mountain โ and theyโre returning to kick off SHXV in the only way they know how: with groove, grit, and a whole lotta soul.
If youโve ever seen them live, youโll know whatโs coming โ dirty blues riffs, foot-stomping rhythms, and vocals thatโll shake your pint out of your hand.
