Steelhouse Appearances: 2012, 2015, 2021
Genre: Melodic Rock / AOR / Classic Rock
From: London, England
Formed in 1984 and still going strong, FM are the UK’s answer to arena rock’s golden age – all smooth harmonies, soaring vocals, and hooks that hit like a wave of nostalgia wrapped in leather and denim.
Fronted by the incomparable Steve Overland, FM built their name on perfectly crafted AOR – mixing the polish of Journey with the soul of Bad Company. Their comeback in the late 2000s saw them embraced by a new generation, and they’ve remained festival favourites ever since.
Whether you were there for Indiscreet back in ’86 or first saw them at Steelhouse with a beer in hand, FM bring the classy side of rock to the Welsh mountain every time.
The classic debut. Instant AOR masterpiece.
That Girl, Frozen Heart
Biggest album to date – even slicker, even louder.
Bad Luck, Someday (You’ll Come Running)
Post-comeback gold – modern AOR done right.
Only Foolin', Cold Hearted
Proof they’re still at the top of their game. Polished, melodic, and ageless.
One of the smoothest sets in early Steelhouse history. AOR fans were in heaven.
Tighter, louder, and armed with even more hits – FM proved they were far from a nostalgia act.
With the world coming back to life, FM brought melody, warmth, and rock-solid performances to a crowd that needed them.
Forum Rating: ★★★★★
Most Likely To: Hit every note with perfect pitch – and your heartstrings too
Bring ’em back? Like the chorus says: Someday… they'll come running.
