Welcome to Rockville 2023 lineup: When will my favorite band be playing?
DAYTONA BEACH — As the clock ticks towards opening day of the 2023 Welcome To Rockville music festival at Daytona International Speedway, it's time for serious headbangers to start making plans to get the most out of the four-day metal marathon.
Heavy metal veterans Tool, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and Pantera will be the marquee headliners at this year’s festival, but that's only a small sample of the lineup of 95 acts on the bill when the festival returns for its third year Thursday through Sunday on the Speedway’s massive infield.
When is your favorite band playing? How will you choose on Saturday night between rock royalty Alice Cooper and Knocked Loose, relative newcomers (by comparison, at least) on the hardcore scene, during prime time on Saturday night?
