The full band lineup has been announced for the Welcome to Rockville music festival in Daytona Beach next year, featuring some of the biggest names in rock music from the past few decades. Among the most notable names on the roster are Green Day, Linkin Park, and Korn, each of whom are headlining the main stage on one of the event’s four days.
To list the full collection of noteworthy performers would send any news article into the encyclopedic realm, but there are a handful especially worthy of mention beyond just those first three: Shinedown, Three Doors Down, Alice in Chains, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Incubus, Sublime, and Pierce the Veil are among the other heavyweights coming to Daytona in May.
The festival is held annually at Daytona International Speedway, with five stages spread across the massive infield over four days of music. Organizer Danny Wimmer brought Rockville to Daytona after almost a decade of holding it in Jacksonville. After taking 2020 off for the COVID-19 pandemic, every year’s edition of Welcome to Rockville has been held at the Speedway.
Tickets for the festival start at $149.99 for a one-day general admission pass including fees. More expensive packages are available in the form of four-day bundles, VIP passes, Daytona Owner’s Club tickets, as well as reserved and unreserved camping spots. Those who attend may have to split their time between multiple stages to see every band on their itinerary, which sometimes entails some hiking.
All in all, over 150 bands will be performing at Welcome to Rockville next year. The festival takes place from May 15th to 18th, with tickets having already gone on sale as of Thursday. Further information about the festival is available on the official website, including the entire lineup, handicap accommodations, and parking arrangements.
