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, the “Helldorado Stage” was the place to be for mostly punk and hardcore with Funeral Dress, The Casualties, Cro-Mags, Madball and Life of Agony, with a touch of modern metal and progressive through Sylosis and The Ocean!
