Here’s why these nine Belgian bands deserve a place on your Friday schedule! Who are you looking forward to seeing live?
Sure, the lineup is stacked. But if you ask us, Alcatraz is about so much more than the bands on the poster. From the atmosphere and the people to the food, the party spots and all those little moments between the shows, here are our 8 reasons why we think Alcatraz 2026 is a festival you shouldn’t miss.

Tailgunner’s latest release ‘Midnight Blitz’ is an amazing album, out since earlier this year via Napalm Records. It is very melodic on a bed of heavy and powerful guitars. The album does sound like it comes from the 80’s or 90’s, like it was right there when heavy metal was at its best. Catch them live this summer at festivals like for instance Alcatraz Festival!
