Steelhouse Festival announce final three bands

The Answer, RavenEye and Bigfoot complete the line-up for this year's Steelhouse Festival.

Published 30th Mar 2016

The Answer's appearance at the Welsh International Classic Rock Festival will form part of their "Rise" tenth anniversary series of shows. Frontman Cormac Neeson said: "Ah Steelhouse how we love you so!! I was thrilled when I was told we'd be rolling back up that mountain again. It's even more special for us than usual given that we'll be rocking out debut album Rise in its entirety. Gonna be another memorable night in the Welsh countryside!"

Steelhouse promoter Mikey Evans added: "The Answer were the first contemporary nationally-known band we booked for the original Steelhouse Club nights and they are a major part of the Steelhouse story. They are back for a record breaking third time in the special guest spot, performing the album that gave way to a world tour with AC/DC. With this special anniversary in mind it was a no-brainer to have them back. RavenEye were Planet Rock ‘best new band’ nominees, so we know what they are capable of. Bigfoot are one of them most exciting prospects on the scene. Its great giving bands like this a chance. The new bands really bring it - Florence Black did last year, The Temperance Movement did in 2013 and we're looking at Wigan's bright new hopefuls to do the same".

RavenEye added: "Steelhouse is going to be a monster of a festival to play at. There are so many great bands that will be pulling their A game and we will be there with them. Let’s make it a wild and unforgettable one. I want sweat dripping on and off the stage".

The three new bands will join an already impressive line-up featuring Thunder (Saturday headliners), The Darkness (Sunday headliners), The Dead Daisies, Tax The Heat, Terrorvision, Toseland, Blues Pills, The Von Hertzen Brothers, Hey! Hello! and many more.

Now in its sixth consecutive year, Steelhouse Festival - The Welsh International Classic Rock Festival - takes place across the weekend of 23rd and 24th July 2016 in South Wales. Tickets are available now via steelhousefestival.com!
