If you’re not feeling so hot about this lineup, don’t worry: there are still about 100 other names to be revealed, so stay tuned! Welcome To Rockville has grown into one of North America’s biggest rock and metal festivals, bringing together stadium-level headliners and rising names in the heavy music scene.
In 2025, the festival was headlined by rock titans Shinedown, Green Day, Linkin Park, and Korn. In a landmark moment for the festival scene, the event hosted an unprecedented number of band reunions. Notably, Linkin Park lead the reunion roster, joined by Three Days Grace, The Dillinger Escape Plan, It Dies Today, All Shall Perish, Power Trip, Chiodos, Dry Kill Logic, Chimaira, Evans Blue, and Snot, marking a historic gathering of reformed acts.
This year, Pennsylvania-born and Nashville-based quintet Halestorm performed five tracks from their upcoming “Everest” album. “Fallen Star“, “WATCH OUT!“, “Darkness Always Wins“, “Rain Your Blood On Me” and “Everest“.
Also, Miss May I performed at Welcome to Rockville festival on May 16, 2025, replacing As I Lay Dying. The change comes after As I Lay Dying‘s recent internal issues, including Tim Lambesis’ unsuccessful attempt to rebuild the band following its breakup in late 2024.
