Welcome to Rockville Announces Full 2026 Lineup

ⓒ Welcome to Rockville

The full band lineup of Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville festival has been announced by festival organizers. The festival, which takes place from May 7th to 10th, 2026, is held annually at Daytona International Speedway.

The headliners of the festival feature some of the most legendary names ever to play rock and metal music. Guns N’ Roses, the Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, and Bring Me the Horizon are the main stage headliners for each of the festival’s four days.

Other major names performing include the Offspring, Rise Against, All Time Low, Alice Cooper, Tom Morello, Turnstile, and Breaking Benjamin among many others. To list the number of iconic rock acts in the 2026 Welcome to Rockville lineup would be to list nearly every band on the poster.

Also among the performers is The Paradox, a band that sports two members who originated in Palm Coast. Eric Dangerfield and Donald Bryant both attended Matanzas High School, and have seen their band reach growing mainstream recognition in recent years. The group even opened for Green Day on tour in 2024.

Many of the bands on the lineup are making Welcome to Rockville a stop on a major tour. Five Finger Death Punch are on their 20th anniversary tour, Staind is touring for 25 years of their ‘Break the Cycle’ record, and My Chemical Romance is continuing to tour to great demand since their 2019 reunion.

“Fifteen years in, Rockville has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined,” said festival organizer Danny Wimmer. “Last year’s record-breaking crowd raised the bar for what this festival could be, and this year’s lineup lives up to that energy.”

“With the full lineup now revealed, fans can start getting loud for the 15th anniversary of Welcome To Rockville at Daytona International Speedway,” Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher. “We’re bringing the heat in 2026 — Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin and over 160 bands ready to blow the doors off The World Center of Racing. Daytona is built for moments like this, and Rockville will deliver them all weekend long.”

Since it first arrived at Daytona International Speedway in 2021, it’s become arguably the facility’s most vital event outside of motorsports. In August, Wimmer and Kelleher announced a deal to keep Welcome to Rockville at Daytona International Speedway through 2035.

“Bringing together Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, and so many others on the same bill is more than a booking decision — it’s what keeps this genre alive and moving forward,” Wimmer continued. “Rock only grows when every era and every sound has a place, and it’s important to me that all corners of this world are represented here. Being able to deliver a lineup like this in my home state is something I’m truly grateful for.”
