Steelhouse Festival – Ebbw Vale – 24-26 July

Steelhouse Festival – Ebbw Vale – 24-26 July

Posted by | Aug 9, 2026 | ,

On a glorious sunny day during the best summer since 1976, Steelhouse 2026 rolled across the Welsh hillside with the unforced charm that continues to set it apart. Thankfully, the nearby mountain wildfires were being brought under control and were far enough away not to cause any undue health concerns. With negligible rain throughout July, the drive up the hillside felt like a trip into Joe Bonamassa’s ‘Dust Bowl’. Across the weekend, the bill mixed muscle, melody and personality in a way that felt true to Steelhouse’s identity rather than tailored for a broader, blunter crowd-pleaser.

Our latest selection marks something of a turning back of the clock for Monk, as he used to hang out with singer Al Gilmore and a bunch of other like-minded but otherwise isolated rockers and metalheads in the sleepy seaside town of Carrickfergus. In fact, the boss used to manage one of the bands he fronted – Nineties hopefuls Abandon, who managed to get coverage in the likes of Kerrap! and Metal Hammer (although that was probably more down to the connections forged by one Steve “Wee Bollox” Strange). Now, some three decades after their life journeys followed divergent paths, they find themselves back on the same rock ‘n’ roll highway with a new, and heavier (who said you have to grow old gracefully?), alt-rock reincarnation of one of Monk’s aul chum’s subsequent projects:
