Exciting Announcements from Welcome to Rockville 2026

We are 27 days out from the legendary return of Welcome to Rockville, at Daytona International Speedway, and things are heating up quickly! With set times released, Garage stage improvements, a new area for fans to explore, and fresh names on the lineup, Rockville 2026 is gearing up to be the biggest and best year yet. 

The festival has declared set times for all the bands performing at the event, including a few adjustments! Apocalyptica will now be performing on Thursday, with Napalm Death transferring to Saturday. Additional changes include new artists joining the lineup. With the unfortunate withdrawal of Gym Class Heroes, VOILA, Biffy Clyro, Crown the Empire, and Tom Morello; Rockville has brought in some new names to fill the slots, including Waka Flocka Flame, Afterlife, NVSN, Dorothy, As You Were, and The HU!

Rockville has also announced massive improvements to the Garage Stage, boasting better sound, bigger production, more shelter from the sun, and a completely tented platform with up to 15,000 sq ft of coverage. Further updates to the festival grounds include an all-new section called The Pit Stop, located near the Apex Stage. This area contains extra culinary choices, additional shade, and its own merch station with both vintage gear and 2026 Welcome to Rockville merch. There will also be special performances, artist interviews, and more! 

Start your engines and get ready to race to the stage of your choice. Welcome to Rockville is going to be a wild ride. Stay cool, make friends, enjoy the music, and most importantly, have a ball
