Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
We’re kicking off with the announcement of no fewer than 66 (!) new names for the 18th edition of Alcatraz, taking place from Thursday August 6 until Sunday August 9 on the sacred grounds in Kortrijk.A few weeks ago, Powerwolf and Slaughter To Prevail were already revealed as the first two headliners. Today, we’re adding Arch Enemy and Alestorm to the bill. Not a headliner, but extremely exclusive: the American rap metal group Body Count. Ice-T and his crew will take a break from their movie shoots next year to perform a handful of European shows, including Alcatraz Metal Fest!New in 2026: the main stage, the Prison Stage, will already open on Thursday instead of Friday.
Day tickets are now available on our website (both regular and VIP). Completely against the trend, day ticket prices are lower than in 2025.
