Steelhouse Festival has made its first big announcement for 2023, revealing that Airbourne will headline the Saturday in their only UK festival appearance of the year.
The show will also mark the Aussie rockers’ Steelhouse debut.
Promoters Max Rhead and Mikey Evans said of the headliners: “Australia - one of the hardest rocking countries on Earth
“Its fine lineage of world-class artists is legendary, especially those whose names begin with the letter 'A'!
“And with that, we are so proud to bring Warrnambool, Victoria's finest rock n roll machine, Airbourne to South Wales next summer.
“Theirs is a show that, in the greatest Antipodean tradition, carries maximum high-voltage, full-tilt, blood, guts and thunder...everything is left on the stage!”
