Packing one of the biggest lineups in history at one of the coolest places in the US, Welcome To Rockville 2026 is the destination festival for rock fans across the globe
From its incredible lineup to its awesome site and a host of great ticket options, Welcome To Rockville is calling you
After smashing records at last year's historic event with more than 230,000 fans rocking up to Florida's Daytona Beach for a weekend of riffs, breakdowns, pits and throat-scorching singalongs, Welcome To Rockville is back for its 15th anniversary with its biggest and best year yet.
Boasting one of the most A-list bills in recent memory and a state-of-the-art festival ground with all manner of attractions, rides, sideshows and a killer selection of food and drink, all taking place at one of the coolest locations in the United States, Welcome To Rockville 2026 will truly turn Daytona International Speedway into the World Center Of Rock when it touches down May 7-10.
First up, this year's incredible lineup. Headlined by rock 'n' roll legends Guns N' Roses, global rock icons Foo Fighters, British metalcore royalty Bring Me The Horizon (in a Florida exclusive, no less) and emo gods My Chemical Romance, Welcome To Rockville is packing one of the most exciting, diverse and genre-spanning bills ever.
Joining those four titanic headliners are the likes of A Day To Remember for a special home state show, Parkway Drive for an exclusive 2026 US show, Five Finger Death Punch for a 20th anniversary show and Staind, Sleeping With Sirens, Flyleaf, Dragonforce, Drowning Pool and Saliva with special album anniversary sets.
Want more? How about more heavyweights like Godsmack, Alice Cooper, The Offspring, Turnstile, Rise Against, Motionless In White, Lamb Of God and Breaking Benjamin? Or rising stars like Poppy, Lorna Shore, Ice Nine Kills and Paleface Swiss?
There are also extreme metal heroes like Cradle Of Filth, Napalm Death, Deicide, Carcass and Suffocation, emo's finest in Simple Plan, All Time Low and Gym Class Heroes, nu metal favourites including Sevendust, Static-X, Spineshank and Dope and deathcore savages Slaughter To Prevail, Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder and Carnifex.
