THE LINEUP

THE SCREAMING JETS 🔥- “We’ve played some loud shows in our time, but there’s something special about taking rock to a town built on grit and steel. Whyalla knows what hard work is, and that’s exactly the kind of crowd we love—people who show up ready to go all in. We’re fired up to headline Forged in Steel this March and bring a massive night of Aussie rock to South Australia. It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be sweaty, and it’s going to be unforgettable.” — Dave Gleeson, The Screaming Jets 

Funky Monks – Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute delivering all the funk, groove and iconic hits you know and love. A welcome return to Whyalla and guaranteed crowd mover.

Funk Me – Bringing the greatest party bangers from across the decades. Expect dancefloor fillers, sing-along anthems and non-stop energy.

These Days – Powderfinger tribute band celebrating one of Australia’s most loved rock catalogues, delivering all the nostalgia and big live moments.

Code Blue – Port Augusta’s own party band favourites, known for high energy sets and crowd connection.

Supported by local musos from across the Eyre Peninsula
