Welcome to Rockville lumbers into Daytona for a long weekend of heavy music’s finest

You know the drill: annual metal festival in Daytona that draws some of the biggest names in heavy rock past and present, while beating the historical curse of “music fest at speedway” that was Altamont.

This year is a big one, and we say that with zero hyperbolic grandiosity (leaving that up to the majestic guitar solos of Testament’s Alex Skolnick on Sunday).

In terms of headliners, you’ve got Green Day, Korn, Good Charlotte, Rob Zombie, Linkin Park, Insane Clown Posse, Underoath, Mastodon and Orlando’s very own Trivium. Then there’s eye-popping names like Knocked Loose, Acid Bath, Quicksand, Health, Obituary and Full of Hell, amidst a legion of others.

Bring all of the earplugs.

Thursday-Sunday, March 15-18, Daytona International Speedway, welcometorockville.com, $140-$680.
