Make sure you swallow your drink before you read any further, because next year's Welcome to Rockville lineup is a fucking doozy. The annual festival in Daytona Beach, Florida, will be headlined by Avenged Sevenfold, TOOL, Pantera and Slipknot, with other high-profile sets by Deftones, Queens of the Stone Age and Evanescence, and performances by dozens of more bands across the metal and hard-rock spectrum.
As of now, this will be Avenged Sevenfold's first live performance since 2018, as well as the newly-reformed Pantera's first U.S. show in 22 years. Other bands on the lineup include Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Alice Cooper, Incubus, Coheed and Cambria, Chevelle, Sepultura, Trivium, Puscifer, Bullet for My Valentine, Knocked Loose and many, many more.
The whole shebang goes down from May 18th to the 21st at the Daytona International Speedway, and both weekend and single-day passes are on sale now. See the full lineup below.
