Overview

About

Alcatraz is a metal and hard rock festival held every summer at the Sportcampus Lange Munte in Kortrijk, Belgium, on grounds transformed into a full-scale open-air prison. Founded in 2008, it spreads a lineup mixing international metal legends and rising Belgian talent across four stages, in an atmosphere fans often describe as one of the warmest on the circuit.
