Alcatraz Line up: 2024

This German rock band was founded in 2007 and some of you will recognise them as the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, where they finished last – a compliment in our book – with the title track off their 8th album ‘Blood & Glitter’. Their name awareness had already received a serious boost when Iron Maiden head honcho Steve Harris personally selected them as the opening act for Maiden’s 2022 Legacy of the Beast world tour, further bolstering what was already a solid live reputation. They gained much recognition and as a result the successful collaboration was renewed for Maiden’s The Future Past tour. Musically the combo oscillates between goth metal and glam rock-infused dark rock with the odd industrial touch.
