Four days of rock and metal at the Daytona International Speedway: Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, My Chemical Romance and Bring Me The Horizon over a 156-act bill.
Welcome to Rockville 2026 has already wrapped, but you can still dig through the lineup and find the acts you would have loved.
Name a few bands you love and we'll scout all 156 acts on the Welcome to Rockville bill for the ones you shouldn't miss.
Welcome to Rockville took over the Daytona International Speedway for four days in May with 156 acts, the largest bill Danny Wimmer Presents puts on all year. Foo Fighters and Guns N' Roses co-headlined, with My Chemical Romance and Bring Me The Horizon taking the other two nights.
The depth is the reason to care. Below the headliners sat Five Finger Death Punch, The Offspring, Breaking Benjamin, A Day To Remember, Godsmack, Staind, Parkway Drive, Lamb of God, Yellowcard, Rise Against, All Time Low and Alice Cooper, any of which would headline a smaller festival. Underneath that ran a full extreme-metal bill: Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Lorna Shore, Carcass, Kreator, Napalm Death, Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Immolation and Deicide.
It also functions as a scene reunion. Sleeping with Sirens, Mayday Parade, Underoath, Anberlin, blessthefall, From First To Last, Senses Fail, The Wonder Years and a Flyleaf set with Lacey Sturm all played, alongside Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening and Zakk Wylde's Sabbath tribute.
Expect metal, rock, hard rock and pop-punk across 156 acts.
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre.
