“The 2026 Welcome to Rockville festival is in the books, leaving music lovers with plenty of memorable moments. Over the four-day music weekend, we saw song debuts, first-time performances, tributes to legends, new band member debuts, old band member reunions and quite a bit more.” — Loudwire
“A four-night music festival that rivals the biggest rock-metal events in North America…the heavy metal heaven is finally here.” — Daytona Beach News-Journal
“What Danny Wimmer is able to craft is nothing short of astounding…The festival brought the community of rock together in such a special and memorable way. Every set we saw felt more compelling than the last. The people running the festival put a lot of care into making sure every single fan has the best weekend of their life. It’s more than your usual four days of rock music. It’s the event of the summer.” — The Aquarian
