Fans are flocking from all corners of the earth to this year’s Steelhouse Festival – the ninth – which is running Friday 26th – Sunday 28th July. Ticketholders have been identified as coming from Japan, Israel, Australia, Germany, USA, Spain, Finland and Abergavenny [the latter being less of a surprise]. Many are making returns to the festival which has gained a superb reputation for delivering great and often exclusive music in a unique atmosphere.

Lizzy will have Troy Sanders from Mastodon playing bass, drum duties will be handled by Scott Travis of Judas Priest and keyboardist is long time Thin Lizzy member Darren Wharton. They join Ricky Warwick, Damon Johnson and the lynchpin Scott Gorham.
Thunder’s headline appearance is the band’s only UK festival performance in 2019 and the set will be ‘By Request’, as fans have been invited to suggest songs they’d like the band to mix into the set.
