In addition, the Welcome To Rockville Battle for the Big Stage competition has returned for the 2026 edition. Through Nov. 30, bands can enter the competition here. Then, leading up to the festival, viewers can vote on who they want to play Rockville during the Sunday episodes of the “Space Zebra” show at 6:30 .p.m ET/3:30 p.m. PT on the DWP Twitch channel.

Fans will kick off the Welcome to Rockville celebration at the Wednesday night Welcome to Rockville Official Pre-Party at the festival site on May 6 with performances from Fuel, Local H, Adelitas Way and Ashes Remain. Pre-party passes are included with all camping packages and available to the public as a standalone ticket for $15 (all-in) here.

“Fifteen years in, Rockville has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined,” said Danny Wimmer of DWP. “Last year’s record-breaking crowd raised the bar for what this festival could be, and this year’s lineup lives up to that energy. Bringing together Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me the Horizon and so many others on the same bill is more than a booking decision—it’s what keeps this genre alive and moving forward. Rock only grows when every era and every sound has a place, and it’s important to me that all corners of this world are represented here. Being able to deliver a lineup like this in my home state is something I’m truly grateful for.”

“With the full lineup now revealed, fans can start getting loud for the 15th anniversary of Welcome to Rockville at Daytona International Speedway,” said Frank Kelleher, president of Daytona International Speedway. “We’re bringing the heat in 2026—Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin and over 160 bands ready to blow the doors off the World Center of Racing. Daytona is built for moments like this, and Rockville will deliver them all weekend long.”
