Welcome To Rockville, billed as Florida's largest rock, metal and punk festival, is roaring back into Daytona International Speedway for its 15th anniversary run May 7–10, 2026. The four-day blowout is set to pack in Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Guns N' Roses and Bring Me The Horizon among hundreds of other acts. After a record-breaking 230,000 fans showed up in 2025, organizers are clearly betting Volusia County can handle another tidal wave of black T-shirts.
According to the festival's official site, the 2026 edition is slated to bring more than 160 bands to five stages inside the Speedway's infield. The poster leans into both legacy headliners and current scene favorites, spreading metalcore, classic hard rock, punk and emo across all four days.
DWP founder Danny Wimmer said, "Fifteen years in, Rockville has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined." Daytona International Speedway reports the festival drew roughly 230,000 fans in 2025 and has locked in a 10-year agreement that keeps Rockville at the track through 2035.
Lineup highlights and schedule
Thursday kicks off with Guns N' Roses, backed up by Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack and Staind. Friday hands the reins to Foo Fighters, joined by Turnstile, The Offspring and Parkway Drive. Saturday centers on Bring Me The Horizon, with support from Breaking Benjamin and Lamb of God. Sunday closes the book with My Chemical Romance, A Day To Remember and Rise Against. Pollstar breaks down the day-by-day groupings and points to special anniversary sets and rare appearances tucked into the schedule.
Tickets, camping and safety
All pass types, including single-day tickets, 4-day GA, VIP and the limited Daytona Owners Club, are already on sale. The festival is also offering hotel packages, car-plus-tent camping and a Wednesday night pre-party for campers, according to the passes page. That page also outlines payment plans, GOVX discounts for service members and first responders, and a student deal for single-day admission.
Why it matters to locals
The Speedway's announcement estimates Welcome To Rockville generates more than $80 million in regional economic impact, with fans pouring in from all 50 states and dozens of countries. Local coverage from News4JAX notes those same dates and that star-heavy lineup will again stretch hotels, traffic patterns and service workers in Volusia County as thousands converge on the track.
Whether you are camping for the full run or targeting a single day to see a favorite band, expect big crowds, long lines and hot weather, and plan accordingly.
