Overview
Steelhouse is a three-day rock festival on an elevated working farm near Ebbw Vale in South Wales. Its main stage brings together established names and emerging bands, with a programme rooted in classic and contemporary rock.
The rural site looks out across the surrounding valleys, with camping and glamping for visitors staying over the weekend. Families can attend alongside other rock fans, while additional acoustic performances in the VIP tent and late-night rock DJ sets extend the programme beyond the main stage.
