Returning to Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, from 6th to 9th May 2027, the four-day festival will celebrate its 16th year with five stages and a bill spanning rock, metal, punk and alternative music.
Among the biggest names heading to Florida are BLINK-182, KORN, PIERCE THE VEIL, BAD OMENS, $UICIDEBOY$, FAITH NO MORE, PAPA ROACH, MGK, THE OFFSPRING, ALICE IN CHAINS, THE PRODIGY, GOOD CHARLOTTE, MARILYN MANSON, JUDAS PRIEST, KNOCKED LOOSE and ICE NINE KILLS.
Welcome To Rockville has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined, bringing rock fans from around the world together in Daytona Beach. Every year, we push ourselves to raise the bar, both with a lineup that celebrates the genre in its entirety and with the experience we create for fans. In 2027, that means more tented stages, additional seating areas, a brand-new entrance, and an expanded, relocated VIP experience. We’re investing in a more comfortable, immersive festival without losing the energy that makes Rockville special. I can’t wait for fans to experience it – Chamie McCurry, General Manager of Danny Wimmer Presents
The daily headliners promise four very different days of heavy music. Thursday brings KORN, ALICE IN CHAINS and FAITH NO MORE, while Friday sees BAD OMENS, $UICIDEBOY$ and ICE NINE KILLS take centre stage. Saturday belongs to PIERCE THE VEIL, GOOD CHARLOTTE and THE OFFSPRING, before BLINK-182, MGK and PAPA ROACH bring the festival to a close on Sunday.
There is plenty more to get excited about, with THE PRODIGY, TILL LINDEMANN, CYPRESS HILL, 311, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, MESHUGGAH, MACHINE HEAD, PENDULUM, COAL CHAMBER, SKID ROW, TESTAMENT, KITTIE, LACUNA COIL, SOULFLY and THE AMITY AFFLICTION among the huge supporting cast.
However, it is the collection of special performances, exclusive appearances and reunions that could make the 2027 edition particularly memorable.
FAITH NO MORE are set to deliver a rare Southeastern US performance, marking their first reunion show, while MARILYN MANSON will perform ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR in an exclusive global appearance. MESHUGGAH will celebrate their 40th anniversary, MACHINE HEAD will make an exclusive US appearance and SKID ROW will return to the stage following a three-year break for their own 40th anniversary celebrations.
There are also some welcome surprises for fans of the alternative and emo scenes. CIRCA SURVIVE, FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS, PALISADES and CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR are all scheduled for reunion performances, while A HEARTWELL ENDING will play their first show in 19 years. RELIENT K will also deliver a rare set.
WAGE WAR will bring a special home state performance, adding another local connection to a festival that has become a major fixture on the American rock calendar.
A BIGGER AND BETTER ROCKVILLE
It is not just the line-up receiving an upgrade. Following a record breaking 15th anniversary in 2026, which attracted 210,000 fans from all 50 US states and 30 countries, organisers Danny Wimmer Presents are investing heavily in the festival experience. The 2027 edition promises more shade, more space and significant improvements across all five stages.
APEX will feature panoramic video screens and immersive production, while OCTANE receives an enhanced visual experience. VORTEX is expanding with a full shade structure, INFERNO is moving under a tent with upgraded sound and video, and GARAGE retains its shaded setting while offering improved viewing opportunities.
With three tented stages, fans can expect more protection from the Florida sunshine, alongside additional covered bleachers, seating areas and umbrellas. New amusement rides, extra screens and more places to relax and recharge will also feature across the site.
The improvements are a welcome move for a festival of this scale, giving fans more opportunities to enjoy the music without spending every moment battling the heat or searching for somewhere to sit.
