Steelhouse Festival 2026 announces Steel Panther, Ugly Kid Joe and three more

Steelhouse Festival has confirmed that Steel Panther will headline the Sunday night at this summer’s Welsh rock extravaganza.

In a UK exclusive performance, Steel Panther take the coveted bill-topping slot on Sunday 26th July 2026 that was vacated by Twisted Sister when they axed their entire reunion tour.

Also joining the Sunday line-up at Steelhouse Festival today are ever-entertaining Californian rock livewires Ugly Kid Joe.

Completing today’s announcement are glam rock revivalists Bobbie Dazzle, Kris Barras’ Hollow Souls, and Welsh metallers Black Lakes.

Tickets to the 15th Steelhouse Festival are on sale right now, RIGHT HERE.

Steelhouse Festival’s Max and Mikey said: “Thank you all for your patience and sticking with us, we know it’s been a while coming, but replacing a Dee-shaped hole at the top of a festival bill is no small undertaking...

“However, we are pleased to announce that the party is flying in directly from California to save the day... Making their only UK festival appearance this summer, will you please welcome, heavy metal icons and golfing experts... Quite simply the greatest band of all time... Steel Panther!! Add to that the incredible Ugly Kid Joe and we are really rocking.”

They continue: “And whilst you're picking yourself up off the floor after those two...We've also got another three additions this time round all showcasing a different strand of the rock universe.

“First up, joining the opening day's line-up it's Kris Barras' soul and blues-infused, Hollow Souls. Saturday we'll witness - quite possibly - the first flute solo on a Steelhouse stage care of retro-glam chanteuse, Bobbie Dazzle and we carry on our tradition of nurturing spectacular Welsh talent with fast rising alt-rock outfit, Black Lakes, who will open that same day.”

Also confirmed are The Temperance Movement and Saturday night special guests, Reef. Alien Ant Farm, make their first trip to the Mountain with 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.
