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 hard rockers Audrey Horne, US metal institution Soil, the popular modern metallers Jinjer, another Finnish folk metal legend with Korpiklaani, a bit of hard rock jukebox with Gene Simmons Band and djent legends Architects!
