Rock fans have plenty of reasons to be excited as Welcome To Rockville prepares for another major edition in 2027, with more than 150 artists officially announced for the popular Florida rock and metal festival.
The organisers have unveiled an impressive lineup featuring some of the biggest names in rock, alternative music, punk and heavy metal. Among the major attractions are Blink-182, Korn, Alice In Chains, Judas Priest, Pierce The Veil, Papa Roach and Bad Omens.
The four-day festival will take place from May 6 to May 9, 2027, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The 16th edition will feature five stages, bringing together established rock veterans, modern metal favourites and emerging artists for a massive celebration of live music.
One of the biggest talking points is the impressive collection of headliners scheduled across the four days.
Korn will headline Thursday, sharing the opening day’s spotlight with Alice In Chains and Faith No More. Friday will see Bad Omens take centre stage alongside $uicideboy$ and Ice Nine Kills.
Saturday’s programme will be led by Pierce The Veil, with Good Charlotte and The Offspring also among the major attractions. Blink-182 will close the festival on Sunday, joined by MGK and Papa Roach.
Beyond the headline performances, the lineup offers plenty for fans of different generations and styles of rock music.
Judas Priest, Marilyn Manson, The Prodigy, Danzig, Knocked Loose, I Prevail, Bullet For My Valentine, Stone Temple Pilots, Seether, Black Veil Brides, Meshuggah and Machine Head are among the other notable names confirmed.
There are also several performances that could make the 2027 edition particularly memorable.
Faith No More are set to make their first North American appearance since going on hiatus in 2016. Meanwhile, Meshuggah will celebrate their 40th anniversary, while Skid Row will return to the stage after three years away to mark their own 40th anniversary. The performance will also introduce new vocalist Justin Sargent.
Fans of alternative and emo music will have additional reasons to look forward to the event, with reunion performances from Circa Survive, Forever The Sickest Kids, Palisades and Cute Is What We Aim For. Relient K will also deliver a rare performance.
However, the organisers are not focusing on the musical lineup alone. Welcome To Rockville 2027 will introduce several improvements to the festival grounds, including expanded shaded areas, upgraded stage productions, improved audio and video experiences, covered bleachers, additional seating and new amusement rides.
These improvements are designed to make the experience more comfortable for attendees, particularly during the warm Florida weather.
The announcement follows a successful 15th-anniversary celebration in 2026, which attracted approximately 210,000 music fans from all 50 US states and 30 countries.
With an enormous lineup, reunion performances and significant improvements planned, Welcome To Rockville 2027 is shaping up to be another major gathering for the rock and metal community.
Tickets are already on sale, with four-day, two-day, single-day and VIP options available.
For fans of heavy music, May 2027 is already looking like a date worth keeping on the calendar…
