Time flies and as the last embers of summer are finally dying down, we are already hard at work to top our amazingly successful 2023 edition. In spite of the unseasonably warm weather it’s that time of year again when we announce a first string of bands for our upcoming edition. We have no fewer than 50 names for you today, a motley selection from the vast landscape of face-ripping guitars and bludgeoning drums.
We’ve chosen to stay the course of our most recent editions: 4 stages with recurring themes, resulting in a universal line-up across all genre boundaries. This is more important than ever because our 2023 edition has set a new benchmark to live up to.
As festival organisers, our goal is not to keep expanding. True to the basic principles we’ve held dear from the outset, our ambition is always to assemble a mind-blowing and varied line-up with a strong emphasis on the overall Alcatraz experience. Also, we are not afraid to be self-critical. For this past edition we revised the stage times and tweaked the ECO coin system. Communication is a two-way street and any issues that are brought to our attention will be dealt with as efficiently as possible. Rest assured that the comfort of our revellers remains our number one priority.
We realise next summer is still lightyears away but as you can see from our first 50 confirmed acts, our 2024 edition is already shaping up to be a can’t-miss celebration of heavy music as well as the perfect platform to revisit friendships old and new. Our two last editions have raised the bar considerably but we are leaving no stone unturned to make Alcatraz Metal Fest 2024 a memorable event. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be adding dozens of names to our roster, including a few top acts that’ll have you picking your jaw up from the floor.
