Here we are again, one of Belgium’s or possibly even Europe’s best metal and rock festivals of every summer. Alcatraz festival in Kortrijk, Belgium is one of those place you want to go back to every year if you’ve gotten a taste of it once. The combination of an amazing atmosphere, solid line-up that has something for everyone who is into the heavier side of music and smooth organization has made it quickly to be the favorite destination of many. On day 1 we got a killer start on the mainstage, better known as the “Prison Stage” with Belgian favorites Dyscordia and Channel Zero, a good serving of more power metal vibes with Orden Ogan, Beast In Black and Feuerschwanz, heavy metal legends Saxon and viking melodeath mastodons Amon Amarth to wrap up!
