A further six acts have been added to the Steelhouse Festival 2020 line-up today!
Last updated 11th Mar 2020
Headlining the Friday night on the Welsh mountain is Bernie Marsden, who will be performing Whitesnake’s greatest hits and more alongside vocalist Neville MacDonald (Hand of Dimes, ex-Skin).
Enthusing about his bill-topping slot, Bernie Marsden said: “I’m so looking forward to driving up The Mountain again in July!
“The outdoor training and weatherproof clothing are more than worth it to play on the Steelhouse stage for you great people of South Wales and beyond! Happy 10th birthday to you all at the Steelhouse Festival! I’m so happy to be a part of it.”
Very special guests on the Friday are The Quireboys, who headlined the very first Steelhouse Festival back in 2011.
Making their debuts at Steelhouse Festival this summer are Collateral and The Howling Tides, while Florence Black, who performed at Steelhouse three years ago, will rock the Saturday afternoon.
As well as performing with Bernie Marsden, Neville MacDonald will return to the Steelhouse stage on Sunday afternoon with his band Hand of Dimes.
Promoters Mikey Evans and Max Rhead said: “This 10th year is a true milestone for us. To get here as an independent is quite something. It seems right to have some bands back that really have made the journey with us. Bernie Marsden, Neville McDonald and the Hand Of Dimes are more like Steelhouse Family members. To not have them play the 10th anniversary would have meant a large part of the heart of the Steelhouse not being present. You want your best mates with you at your milestone celebrations and that’s what those people are to us’
“Similarly, coming full circle with the Quireboys is just brilliant. 10 years after they had the brass balls to come and headline a first year festival on a Mountain in Wales, they return as the perfect party starters. Cheers boys!
“10 years is quite a milestone, especially as an independent that’s been steered by two school mates with no previous festival experience before Steelhouse. We were and still are lifelong rock fans who came to the conclusion that festivals happened all over the world so why couldn’t it happen in our hometown. We were naïve, ambitious and knew exactly the sort of festival we wanted to attend ourselves. That naivety stood us in good stead. We pushed on regardless – if we knew what was in front of us perhaps we would have never entertained the idea. We’ve been blessed with an incredible team of people who come from all walks of life for the common purpose of putting on the best festival we can in a part of the world many thought it could never happen in. Sometimes it been joyous, other times extremely tough, but we can look back with a sense of pride in terms of the acts we’ve brought to our unique location, the community that’s been created and what Steelhouse has become.”
The sextet of new line-up additions join the previously confirmed Cinderella’s Tom Keifer, Monster Truck, Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, Kris Barras Band, The Last Internationale, Hannah Wicklund & The Steppin’ Stones, Matt Mitchell & The Coldhearts Crown Lands and Revival Black at Steelhouse Festival 2020.
