Festival Reports
What a year it was again for Alcatraz Festival in 2024! With yet again a killer line-up, fulfilling the needs and wants for almost any fan of the heavier side of music, it was promising to be a killer weekend. The first day started off pretty decent with just as last year a pretty heavy hardcore programme on Helldorado stage, a killer line-up of extreme metal acts on the Swamp stage and some of the most popular acts in metal and rock on the Prison Stage to party all day long from the afternoon sun into the evening chill…

Graspop 2024, there was a moment where I thought this edition would be cancelled due to heavy rain fall. Just like what kind of happened to Wacken 2023, where people weren’t allowed to enter the festival anymore because there was so much mud, even the tractors would get stuck. Luckily, that didn’t happen. The festival continued, and it was a blast once again!

So we are into the third and final day and it is promising to be the hottest one yet (temperature wise). By 10.00am the temperature is mid nineties.
We are lucky that where the Downtown Festival Grounds are located, affords a certain amount of shade which is a life saver!

It’s that time of the year again, our yearly stop at one of Finland’s longest running metal and rock festivals: Tuska! On the 2024 edition, they had a pretty solid line-up again in our opinion, even though there were some people not all too happy about some of the experimentation they did with for instance the headliners of this year’s festival. We had no complaints though, and had an absolutely great time! Tuska Sunday is always a bit of a chill-out day. Later start of the day, earlier end, less bands and more room to just hang around, stroll around to try and see if there are any things you had missed before, get those last pieces of merch or some last minute deals from the vendors that are trying to go back home with the least amount of leftover items as possible and so on. But while there were less bands to catch on this day, they were most definitely pretty massive one for one!

The Tuska Expo was definitely a hit again with tons of really cool and interesting vendors, tattoo and piercing artists and some great entertainment! But back to the music, which is the main reason we were at Tuska.

Last night I saw the Dwarves and The Queers on an outside stage at the Downtown Container Park, both bands were on top form. This morning I had been to the pool party at the Grand and had seen Madam Bombs, Doll Riot, The Inciters and Zeke. It was definitely hotter than yesterday, drinking lots of water was the order of the day. So into day 2 of the festival proper.
