Welcome to Rockville has just announced its lineup for next year's festival and it’s wild! Taking place on May 18th-21st at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, the 2023 edition of Welcome to Rockville will have Headliners Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, and Tool. The lineup also features Deftones, Incubus, Rob Zombie, Evanescence, Queens of the Stone Age, Godsmack, Trivium, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice Cooper, Chevelle, IPrevail, Asking Alexandria, Sleeping With Sirens, The Mars Volta, Coheed & Cambria, Motionless In White, Black Veil Brides, Avatar, Pennywise, Ghostemane, Bloodywood, Rain City Dirve, and more. With over 90 big name artists, this year's lineup is definitely giving me European Festival vibes.
As of now, this will be Avenged Sevenfold's first live performance since 2018. It will also be newly-reformed Pantera's first U.S. show in 22 years. Now composed of core members Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown joined by Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society) and Charlie Benante (Anthrax). This isn’t a “reunion” of Pantera, because there is no reunion without Vinnie and Dime, but it is a way to honor the brothers and bring back Pantera’s music to the fans.
Danny Wimmer, founder of Welcome to Rockville and DWP, stated, “We are so excited to be bringing this fantastic lineup to Welcome To Rockville,” he continued, “Our fans have been wanting Pantera and along with one of Avenged Sevenfold’s first live shows in five years, crowd favorite Slipknot, AND one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Tool, we are delivering a jam-packed weekend to the ‘The World Center of Rock.’ Can’t wait to see everyone in May!”
This year's Welcome To Rockville will feature 95 artists over the course of four days on four stages along with some other experiences such as amusement rides, a giant water slide, artwork installations, partner experiences, award-winning spirits, and some amazing food.
