The calm before the storm? Not for longโฆ
Steelhouse Festival XV is well and truly underway, and as fans continue to flood onto the mountain, one stage is already looking primed for absolute mayhem. Standing proudly beneath the Steelhouse stage roof is the unmistakable backdrop of King Kraken, with the Welsh rock heavyweights preparing to unleash one of the weekendโs biggest homegrown performances.
From the moment you catch sight of that colossal banner, complete with thunderous artwork worthy of Norse mythology, you know youโre in for something special. It screams power, attitude, and riffs โ exactly what Steelhouse is all about.
๐ Walesโ Own Heavy Rock Monsters
King Kraken have become one of the hottest names in the Welsh rock scene over the last few years, earning a reputation for crushing riffs, towering vocals, and a live show that hits harder than a pint of cider after climbing Pen y Fan.
Playing Steelhouse feels like a homecoming for the band. With a festival packed full of rock fans from across the UK and beyond, theyโll have one of the best crowds possible to remind everyone why theyโre one of Walesโ finest heavy rock exports.
