Those Damn Crows and Sophie Lloyd join Steelhouse Festival 2025 line-up

Steelhouse Festival 2025 has added Those Damn Crows, Sophie Lloyd and Kris Barras Band to the line-up.

Fresh from triumphing at their biggest ever concert at Cardiff Utilita Arena over the weekend, Those Damn Crows have been unveiled as the Sunday night headliners at the 14th Steelhouse Festival.

Those Damn Crows’ exclusive bill-topping slot up the Steelhouse mountain will be their only UK festival performance of 2025.

“It’s with an overwhelming sense of pride that us Crows find ourselves back on top of the mountain but this time as your 2025 Sunday Headliners,” enthuses Those Damn Crows frontman Shane Greenhall.

“Seeing our name sitting at the very top of a Steelhouse poster, headlining and closing out this incredibly special festival, is quite simply a ‘dream turned reality’ scenario.

“Please be there with us as we proudly fly The Crow Flag high at the very top of our favourite Welsh rock festival. What a weekend we shall have Crow/Steelhouse family! Let’s f---ing Crow!”

Steelhouse Festival’s Max and Mikey add: “It gives us a huge amount of pride to have Those Damn Crows make it to the very top of the Steelhouse tree where, in 2025, they truly belong. They're a new headliner and the time is right. It's their only UK festival appearance next summer.”

Also joining the Steelhouse Festival line-up is guitar shredding sensation Sophie Lloyd, who plays on the Saturday.

“I’m so excited to be appearing at Steelhouse Festival,” says Sophie Lloyd. “With legends like Lita Ford, old friends like Marisa and The Moths and new friends like Those Damn Crows it looks like an epic weekend and one I’m really looking forward to bringing the Sophie Lloyd live experience to. See you there!”

As revealed during their headline slot at Planet Rockstock last month, Kris Barras Band will also play on the Saturday at Steelhouse.

“We are so excited to be heading back up the mountain for a third time,” comments eponymous band leader Kris Barras.

“It's one of our favourite places to play and we are always made to feel so welcome by all of the Steelhouse crowd, it almost feels like a hometown show! It's a fantastic line up and we are honoured to be part of it.”

Steelhouse Festival once again takes place up the mountain at Haford-Y-Dafal Farm in Ebbw Vale, South Wales on the weekend of Friday 25th to Sunday 27th July 2025.

The trio of new additions appear on a Steelhouse Festival bill that already features W.A.S.P. (Saturday headliner), The Wildhearts (Friday headliner), Lita Ford, Wolfsbane, These Wicked Rivers, The Treatment, Scarlet Rebels, Tailgunner, Marisa and the Moths, Muddibrooke, Asomvel and Kit Trigg.

Tickets to Steelhouse Festival are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
