Welcome to Rockville 2026 Lineup Announcement
“Welcome to Rockville” returns to the World Center of Racing (Daytona International Speedway), for its 15th anniversary of the nation’s largest rock/metal/punk festival. Spanning four days (five including the pre-party), this event boasts a lineup of over 160 artists. With last year’s record-breaking number of attendees (230,000 people), Rockville has delivered us a 2026 lineup of some of the biggest names in rock right now, along with some classic bands, and with a few up and coming acts to keep an eye on!
The festival has many partners, but one of the coolest is their partnership with GOVX to offer discounted passes for nurses, police personnel, firefighters, and military members, and Jampack to offer hotel and travel packages, Welcome to Rockville is coming together with care and excitement!
For the lineup this year, Rockville is welcoming Guns N’ Roses, Bring Me The Horizon, My Chemical Romance, and Foo Fighters. As well as Lamb of God, Rise Against, Alice Cooper, Godsmack, Sevendust, The Offspring, Avatar, and various talented headliners! Also appearing on the lineup are Poppy, Hollywood Undead, Atryu, Ice Nine Kills, Voilà, 3Oh!3, Yelawolf, Static-X, and White Chapel, among many others! A lineup of Adelitas Way, Local H, Ashes Remain, and Fuel, will also be taking the stage at the official Welcome to Rockville preparty taking place on the festival grounds prior to the event. There’s also a contest going on, Battle for the Big Stage, where bands compete for a spot on the lineup! You can vote for who you want to see on the DWP Twitch channel at 6:30pm EST/ 3:30pm PT on Sundays (during the Space Zebra show.)
The festival has got a number of special performances this year, from rare appearances from bands like Parkway Drive, Coal Chamber, and The Ready Set; to reunion sets from Primer 55, From First to Last, Egypt Central, and Spineshank; to anniversary celebrations for bands like Staind, DragonForce, Saliva, Drowning Pool, and Five Finger Death Punch, who are also kicking off their 2026 world tour at Rockville!
Personally, I’m super excited to catch sets from 3Oh!3, Voilà, and of course, Poppy, check out all the yummy food and merch options for this year (incredible selection always), and to meet new people! All in all, it’s shaping up to be a great year back at the Speedway, so hurry and get your tickets, book your flights and lodging, and get ready to ROCK!! Welcome to Rockville is the one festival you don’t want to miss in 2026!
