ROCK band Reef will join Gwent band Feeder as headline acts at what organisers say will be the biggest music festival ever held in Blaenau Gwent.

The Westcountry band, led by Gary Stringer, will perform in front of a crowd of 3,000 at The Steelhouse Festival 2012, near Ebbw Vale in July.

Reef have had eight top 20 hits and ten million record sales and are best known for ‘Place Your Hands' will perform at Hafod-y-Dafal Farm on the Sunday night.

The Welsh International Classic Rock Festival takes place some 1,200ft up at Hafod-y-Dafal Farm, near Ebbw Vale over three-days between 27 and 29 July and is officially the highest-altitude music festival in the UK.

Other acts to perform are the UK’s official Guns 'n' Roses tribute act ‘Guns 2 Roses’ fronted by Cwmbran-born Gavin Felvus and local bands Revoker and The Dirty Youth as well as Blackwood-based Clifford brothers’ 'Henry's Funeral Shoes'.
