The 18th edition of Alcatraz is shaping up to be historic with headliners Arch Enemy and Alestorm, legends like Soulfly, Saxon, Body Count, Rose Tattoo, extreme assaults from Immolation, Internal Bleeding, 200 Stab Wounds, Sanguisugabogg, and modern favorites like Kittie, Northlane, Animals As Leaders, The Ghost Inside.

We’re especially thrilled to see the Belgian flag flying high again with Channel Zero, Amenra, Enthroned, Psychonaut and Mantah on the bill. And let’s not forget our longtime Finnish favorites Luna Kills, making a big step onto the Alcatraz stage!

On top of that, the Prison Stage opens already on the Thursday for the first time ever, and day ticket prices are lower than 2025 right now!

Waste of Space Orchestra – Syntheosis

Black Metal, Doom Metal, Progressive

In 2018 The hellish intronauts of Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising came together for a one off event, commissioned for the Roadburn Festival, ingeniously monikered The Waste of Space Orchestra. Syntheosis is the studio interpretation of that psychotropic interdimensional journey.

Voivod – The Wake

Groove Metal, Industrial, Progressive

It’s predictable that The Wake is unpredictable, Voivod steers it spacecraft through a tangled, tantalizing storyline, woven into the most maze-like, edge-of-your-seat musical experience the band have embarked upon since those heady days of the late ‘80s.
