Alissa White-Gluz had a baptism of fire of sorts when making her live debut with UK power metallers Dragonforce over the weekend, with the band's longtime frontman Marc Hudson having to miss their first show of 2026 entirely due to ongoing hearing issues.
Dragonforce played a riotously received set on the fourth stage at Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida on Saturday evening (May 9), with Alissa fronting the band for the first time following the surprising news of her addition to the fold earlier this month. The former Arch Enemy frontwoman was expected to share singing duties with Hudson, but her bandmate was unable to perform thanks to his battles with tinnitus.
