Welcome To Rockville 2022 Lineup Has Guns N’ Roses, KISS, Korn, Foo Fighters, More

Daytona Beach’s Welcome To Rockville bills itself as “America’s largest rock festival.” I don’t know if that’s true, but one might argue that it’s America’s most rock rock festival. In recent years, Welcome To Rockville has catered to the people who own spatulas shaped like electric guitars and who throw up the devil horns in their wedding photos. Last month, Welcome To Rockville returned with a post-pandemic bash that featured two nights of Metallica, as well as Slipknot, Disturbed, and a lady who peed on somebody. (It was supposed to have Nine Inch Nails, too, but then NIN cancelled all of their 2021 shows.) Today, the Welcome To Rockville folks have announced that the festival will return next May and that it’ll feature a lineup full of rock-radio heavy hitters.

Next year’s Welcome To Rockville goes down 5/19-22 at Daytona International Speedway, and the sheer scope of its roster of headliners is pretty impressive. Guns N’ Roses, KISS, Korn, and Foo Fighters top the festivals bill. The final night, Rockville boasts a trio of ’90s alt-rock big dogs: The Foos, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Jane’s Addiction. If you’re a person of a certain age, that might sound like a lot of fun.

The rest of the lineup goes heavy on radio-rock types — Five-Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown, that kind of thing. It’s also got Papa Roach, Baroness, Megadeth, Ministry, Bush, Jerry Cantrell, Clutch, Poppy, Hatebreed, Alexisonfire, Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front, In Flames, and Down, among many others.
