This year at Welcome to Rockville is about to wipe all other festivals off the map. Presented by legendary festival connoisseur Danny Wimmer, Welcome To Rockville has unveiled the most leveled-up, insanely produced event of 2025 for not just the United States, but quite possibly this planet.
Danny Wimmer never fails to bring the gusto!
Welcome To Rockville kicks off on May 15th through the 18th at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The metal rock extravaganza is right down the road from the coast, with waves and seashells covering the shores as the music echoes in the distance. And it’s not just a mini vacay, with ample hotels lined up nearby in a warm tropical climate; it’s a musical mecca for metal lovers, with world-class talent performing for four days straight for fans to enjoy together.
And, let me say, the 2025 lineup is impeccable, with metal, alt rock, and punk blends. The drinks are ample and the grub is delicious, ranging from renowned chefs for the foodies all the way to that yummy fast food — you know, the festival staples.
