🎪 Steelhouse Festival 2018 Lineup 🏔️🐉

Held on 27–29 July 2018, Steelhouse Festival 2018 went down as one of the sunniest, sweatiest, and most spectacular weekends ever witnessed on the mountain! With classic rock royalty, new-wave firestarters, and homegrown heroes, the lineup brought thunder to the Valleys—and not a single rain poncho in sight! 🌞🤘

🎉 Friday – July 27th (Warm-Up Night)

The traditional Steelhouse curtain-raiser set the tone with fire and flair:

• Stone Broken 💎🥁
  Modern rockers with a massive sound – full of anthem-worthy tunes and stage presence to spare.

• The Dust Coda 🚗🔥
  Sleek, groove-laden riffs and a tight live show. Future festival favourites in the making!

• Ravenbreed 🪶⚡
  Welsh heavy-hitters delivering hometown pride with crushing energy.

🔥 Saturday – July 28th

Full throttle from start to finish – blistering weather and even hotter riffs!

• Black Star Riders ☠️🎸 (Headliners)
  Born from the legacy of Thin Lizzy, they owned the night with classics like “The Killer Instinct” and Lizzy anthems like “Jailbreak.” Pure fire.

• Glenn Hughes (Performs Classic Deep Purple) 🟣🎤
  The Voice of Rock sang the roof off the mountain (if it had one). “Burn,” “Mistreated,” “Smoke on the Water” – goosebumps all around.

• Myke Gray featuring Kim Jennett ⚡💃
  A storming, soulful set – one of the most talked-about performances of the day.

• Wayward Sons 🚂🎶
  Fronted by Toby Jepson, they delivered no-nonsense, hook-filled rock – and won over a ton of new fans.

  Melodic and full of passion – a fitting start to a fiery Saturday.

⚡ Sunday – July 29th

The grand finale, and one of the most legendary days in Steelhouse history.

• Monster Truck 🚚🇨🇦 (Headliners)
  Canadian groove monsters laid waste to the mountain. “Sweet Mountain River” on an actual mountain? Yes please!

• The Dead Daisies 🌼💀
  Supergroup status unlocked – energy, swagger, and killer tunes like “Long Way to Go” and “Make Some Noise.”

• Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons 🛠️🎤
  Motörhead legacy meets Welsh attitude – loud, proud, and properly heavy.

• The Quireboys 🍷🎩
  Spike’s swagger and singalong pub-rock charm never fails to deliver. “7 O’Clock” got the mountain swaying.

• Hand of Dimes ✋🎵
  Welsh melodic rock brilliance – Neil Garland’s voice was on fire.

• The Bad Flowers 🌼🔥
  Big riffs, small lineup – this power trio packed a serious punch!

🏁 Final Thoughts – Steelhouse 2018

Steelhouse 2018 was sun-drenched and soul-fuelled. A weekend where legends and newcomers stood shoulder to shoulder, and every chorus echoed off the mountainside. T-shirts were off, voices were lost, and memories were made for life.

Welsh Sayings Recap:

• “Bendigedig!” to Glenn Hughes for that Deep Purple set of dreams.

• “Iechyd da!” to everyone who survived the cider queue in the blazing sun. ☀️🍺

• “Tidy!” for Black Star Riders’ arena-worthy performance on a mountain stage.

• “C’mon Wales!” for the local heroes – Ravenbreed, Phil Campbell, and Hand of Dimes.
