History

The inaugural Welcome to Rockville was held on Mother's Day, May 8, 2011, at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, Florida. Headlined by Godsmack and hosted by Mistress Juliya, the festival ran from 11 AM to 10 PM due to local noise ordinances.
A second festival was held on Sunday, April 29, 2012, which featured Jacksonville natives Shinedown headlining the festival along with Korn.
The Welcome to Rockville festival was expanded from a one-day event to a two-day event in 2013, and Jacksonville native band Lynyrd Skynyrd headlined with Alice in Chains. The 2013 festival started a minor controversy about the enforcement of a noise ordinance, which was waived for the festival.
The headlining bands of the 2014 festival were Avenged Sevenfold and Korn.
The headlining bands of the 2015 festival were Korn and Slipknot.
Disturbed and Rob Zombie headlined at Welcome to Rockville 2016.
Soundgarden and Def Leppard headlined Welcome to Rockville 2017.
In 2018, Welcome to Rockville expanded to a three-day event. The festival featured headliners Ozzy Osbourne, Avenged Sevenfold, and the Foo Fighters.
Korn, Rob Zombie, and Tool headlined Welcome to Rockville in 2019. In July, Danny Wimmer Presents announced the festival's move to Daytona Beach, Florida.
In March 2020, it was announced that the festival would be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but would return in 2021.
Welcome to Rockville returned in 2021, relocating to Daytona Beach and drawing a record-breaking 161,000 attendees over four days. Headlined by Metallica for two nights, along with Slipknot and Disturbed, the festival was hailed as the largest rock event in the US that year. Online viewership also surged, with 1.2 million people tuning in to select performances on Twitch. The success fueled the announcement of a return in May 2022.
Welcome to Rockville 2022 took place from May 19–22, featuring a lineup that included Kiss, Korn, Guns N' Roses, and the Foo Fighters. While Kiss headlined on Thursday, severe weather forced the cancellation of several acts, including Korn and Guns N' Roses, on Friday and Saturday. The death of drummer Taylor Hawkins led to the Foo Fighters' cancellation, but Nine Inch Nails stepped in to perform on Sunday.
The 2023 edition of Welcome to Rockville was held in May, featuring Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, and Tool as headliners.
The 13th installment of Welcome to Rockville, held in 2024, featured Mötley Crüe, Limp Bizkit, Foo Fighters, and Slipknot as its headliners.
Headlining the 2025 Welcome To Rockville were the performances of Shinedown, Green Day, Linkin Park, and Korn.
