Def Leppard, Soundgarden and A Perfect Circle have been confirmed for next year’s Welcome To Rockville and Fort Rock festivals.

The two-day event runs across the weekend of April 29 and 30, with Welcome To Rockville taking place at Jacksonville’s Metropolitan Park and JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.

Soundgarden will headline the Saturday event, with Def Leppard playing the top spot on the Sunday.

More than 40 bands will play across three stages, with The Offspring, Mastodon, Chevelle, Seether, Papa Roach and Alter Bridge scheduled to appear. Read the full list for both festivals below.

Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy says: “We’re stoked to be kicking off the world’s loudest month at Fort Rock with Alter Bridge. It’s gonna be epic so don’t miss it.”

Chevelle guitarist and vocalist Pete Loeffler adds: “Without a doubt we can’t wait to throw down with our rock and metal fans at Welcome To Rockville fest.

“Ever since the beginning for us, we’ve seen how absolutely amazing and rabid you guys can get in Florida. You keep us on our toes – we’ll see you there.”

Tickets for Welcome To Rockville and Fort Rock will be available from 12noon EST on December 6 (Tuesday) from the official websites.

In addition, the lineup for Monster Energy’s Carolina Rebellion has also been announced. It’ll take place at Rock City Campgrounds at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord on May 5, 6 and 7.
