Steelhouse – the festival on the top of a Welsh mountain – have confirmed that the headliners for Saturday night – as the festival celebrates its 15th year –  will be the mighty Rival Sons.

Max and Mikey said, “Thank you for your patience, but truly great things come to those who wait…And what a great thing this is. Rival Sons are SHXV Saturday headliners. For us they are best rock band to establish themselves this century. True musicianship, the ability to reach right into the soul and out front, one of the truly great voices – really they are beyond superlatives. The return of Rival Sons to the Mountain as headliners in our 15th year is the ultimate gift. Its set to be the band’s only UK festival show this summer”.

Tuk Smith & the Restless Hearts have also been confirmed for the Saturday, as part of a Festival line-up that squarely puts proper rock n roll first: Steel Panther, Ugly Kid Joe, The Temperance Movement, Reef, Alien Ant Farm, Tyketto, Von Hertzen Brothers, Darren Wharton’s Renegade, Mason Hill, Dan Byrne, Luke Morley, Anthony Gomes, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, AMH, Parker Barrow, LN, King Kraken and Blue Nation.

2026 marks the 15th iteration of Steelhouse, a now essential fixture on the summer festival map. Tickets are on sale now. For those wanting to spread the cost, a monthly payment plan is available on weekend arena tickets.  VIP upgrades are also available for those wanting VIP bar access, luxury facilities, acoustic sets and more!

The Festival at the top of the mountain boasts not only the best views of any UK rock event but one of the most passionate, friendly and loyal followings. With a reputation for not only bringing in the biggest and best names from the international world of Rock, Steelhouse also understands the role it can play in throwing open its prestigious stage to the best of the new breed of bands. It all adds up to a compelling mix of classic and cutting-edge rock, old and new.
