It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, I’m not referring to Thanksgiving or Christmas. I’m talking about the Welcome to Rockville lineup release for 2018. The 2017 version saw the festival take on a life of its own and go from a 2-day rock extravaganza onto a 3-day affair. Leading the way are headliners like Foo Fighters, Ozzy Osbourne, Avenged Sevenfold, Queens of the Stone Age, Billy Idol and many, many more.
Taking place at Jacksonville’s Metropolitan Park on April 27-29, 2018, Welcome to Rockville is aiming sky-high to please their devoted fan-base. Coming off a banner year in 2017, W.T.R. showcased performances from Def Leppard, A Perfect Circle, and the late great Chris Cornell with Soundgarden. One-upping that version of Rockville was no easy task, yet the organizers swung for the fences and found a way to knock this one outta the park.
Joining these titans of rock will be big-name supporting acts like Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Avatar, Halestorm, Black Veil Brides, and, well, you get the picture. So, grab a friend and get over to the Welcome to Rockville website to check the full line-up and snatch up a ticket. This coming April you’ll be in for a world of fun, food, booze, and, of course, all the rock-n-roll your little soul can handle.
