On the first day of Alcatraz 2023, we caught Eleine, Wind Rose, Rise of the Northstar, Bury Tomorrow, Powerwolf and Michael Schenker Group taking over the Prison Stage (mainstage)!

One of our reporters ended up being part of the Graspop Metal Meeting 2023 crew this year, but still found the time to check out the shows of Beast In Black, Butcher Babies, and Guns ‘n’ Roses on the first day of Belgium’s biggest metal festival!

Windrose’s latest album ‘Warfront’ may have been carved from living rock last year already, but these heroic dwarves are ready to storm the Prison stage at Alcatraz today.

The first edition of brand-new festival Hellsinki Metal Festival is quickly approaching and they’ve constantly been sharing more details and updates. So it was about time to gather what we already know about the fest in a preview…
