If you, the discerning rock fan, can stomach the heat (or maybe rain!), the drive and any purely coincidental parallels to Woodstock ’99 in the air, you might as well head on up I-4 and accept your fate at Welcome to Rockville.
The lineup this year is so absolutely maximal that we defy you to not find at least a small handful of bands that would entice you to traipse over. (This writer was tempted by the jaw-dropping inclusions of Nitzer Ebb, L7 and Helmet.)
Rockville circa 2024 has swelled to include five stages and over (gulp) 150 bands crammed into four days. This year’s lineup includes Slipknot, Foo Fighters, Mötley Crüe, Insane Clown Posse, Jelly Roll, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit, Queens of the Stone Age, Judas Priest, Primus, Greta Van Fleet, Sum 41, Evanescence, Offspring, Cypress Hill, Mr. Bungle and too many more to list.
Expect everything to be bigger and louder.
Thursday-Sunday, May 9-12, Daytona International Speedway, welcometorockville.com.
