The countdown is officially on, butt! 🎸 In just two weeks, thousands of rock fans will make the pilgrimage to the Welsh mountains for Steelhouse Festival XV, and if you’ve been thinking about joining them, you’d better get your skates on.
Festival organisers have announced that Sunday day tickets are now EXTREMELY LIMITED, while campervan tickets are running on fumes, proving once again that Britain’s highest rock festival is gearing up for another massive weekend.
With organisers teasing “Rock ‘n’ Roll, drinks, good times… and surprises…”, accompanied by the ever-mysterious 👀 emoji and #secretset, the excitement is building faster than a Steel Panther guitar solo.
🏔️ Rock The Mountain Returns
Taking place between 24th and 26th July 2026 at the stunning Hafod-y-Dafal Farm near Ebbw Vale, Steelhouse Festival has become one of the UK’s most beloved independent rock festivals.
Known for combining breathtaking mountain scenery with world-class rock acts, friendly crowds and an unbeatable atmosphere, it’s the sort of festival where complete strangers become drinking buddies before the first band has even hit the stage.
And this year’s line-up? Absolutely stacked.

👀 Secret Set Incoming?
One little hashtag has everyone talking…
#secretset
The organisers haven’t revealed any details yet, but Steelhouse has a habit of throwing in a few surprises over the years, and fans are already speculating about who could be making an unexpected appearance on the mountain.
We’re not saying anything… but we are saying keep your eyes peeled.
🍻 More Than Just The Music
Steelhouse has always been about more than simply watching bands.
It’s about standing on top of a Welsh mountain with a cold pint in your hand, singing along with thousands of fellow rock fans as the sun sets across the valleys.
It’s about discovering your next favourite band, catching up with old friends, making new ones and remembering why live music is such an incredible experience.
There’s a reason so many people return year after year.
🎟️ Don’t Miss Out
With Sunday day tickets almost gone and campervan passes close to selling out, there’s very little time left if you still haven’t secured your place at Steelhouse XV.
The mountain is calling once again, and if previous years are anything to go by, this is going to be one for the history books.
The Riff Report will be there all weekend bringing you the latest news, interviews, reviews, photos and plenty of behind-the-scenes festival madness. If you see us wandering around the site, come over and say hello—we’re always up for a chat about riffs, festivals and where the best coffee on the mountain is! 🤘
Who’s heading to Steelhouse this year? Which band are you most excited to see… and who do you think that mystery secret set could be? Let us know in the comments, butt! 🎸🔥
