"The world is a cruel place but it is also very beautiful!"
Een slagzin die staat als een huis en die knalt op Shaganai. De recentste plaat van headliner Ankor en de band die ons met veel goesting liet afzakken naar Kortrijk na onze ontdekking van de band op Alcatraz.

The incredible quintet hailing from beautiful Barcelona, with members from the UK and Greece, are not resting after their massive festival run this year and hit Europe again on a huge 6 weeks headline Tour and they will be joined by no other than the amazing CONQUER/DIVIDE as special guests. 2024 was an exceptionally successful year for ANKOR. The band, consisting of Vocalist Jessie Williams from Bristol, Drummer Eleni Nota out of Athens Greece and Guitarists David Romeu & Fito Martinez as well as Bassist Julio Lopez from Catalonia are looking back at massive festival performances such as Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, Resurrection Fest, Tuska, Summerbreeze, ReLoad, Rock Castle and many more as well as headline dates in Germany and a European Tour supporting Beyond The Black this year.
With their brand new record „SHOGANAI“ on board, they are ready to hit the stages across Europe once more and It had been foreseeable for a while that this would happen: Many of the past tour dates, which took the quintet from Barcelona to numerous countries on the continent, were sold out or upgraded. ANKOR’s energetic and incredibly entertaining shows are inspiring more and more fans from all corners of the world and obviously arousing their thirst for more. The total of 30 newly announced dates will bring the quintet to completely new territories, but also serving their loyal fanbases in the UK, Germany and their home country Spain. And what is for certain is, that tickets will sell fast as the musical impact of the Catalonians, has become increasingly gigantic, which can be witnessed at their performance at W:O:A for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7mcvwNFV08...
The combination of Asian pop-culture mixed with contemporary Metalcore and a hint of their Spanish heritage creates something the scene hasn’t seen nor heard yet. With thousands of listeners around the globe and a breathtaking performance ANKOR is now ready to mesmerise you!
Hoogtij voor de metalhead, want het was opnieuw tijd voor Alcatraz Open Air in Kortrijk! Wekenlang werd alles in het werk gezet om de bezoekers een heavy driedaagse te bezorgen, met succes. Niet alleen de organisatie en de vele vrijwilligers liepen de benen van onder hun lijf, ook onze fotografen deden dat om maar liefst elke band in beeld te brengen! Met bijna veertig bands per dag op de line-up maken we een reportage per podium. Bekijk hier de foto's van de Helldorado tent van de tweede festivaldag!
Er zijn meer artiesten bevestigd voor het nieuwe Nederlandse festival The Rock Circus.
