Other metal acts We Came As Romans and GWAR, as well as rock’s and Theory of a Deadman and Halestorm will bring the fire across multiple stages, with alt-rock’s Crossfade set to perform on the Octane Stage — marking their second show in 13 years, followed by their set at Louder Than Life.
Metal’s The Dillinger Escape Plan, Body Count, Bullet For My Valentine, and Rob Zombie will close-out the show, as well as the newly-announced The Pretty Reckless ahead of a final headlining performance from Shinedown on the main Apex Stage.

Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher said that “Rockville always delivers a high level of electric energy in the fan friendly festival atmosphere.”
“Rockville will yet again continue its tradition of hosting top-tier bands in rock, metal, and alternative genres,” Kelleher said. “All will take place inside the iconic Daytona International Speedway, which packed the house during the 2024 Rolex 24 in January, a sold-out DAYTONA 500, an action-packed Bike Week with DAYTONA Supercross and the DAYTONA 200, finishing with the penultimate Coke Zero Sugar 400 in August.”
Last-minute Single Day General Admission, VIP, and Daytona Owners Club passes are available, as well as 4-day Weekend GA, VIP, and DOC passes via the festival’s official website. Festivalgoers can also grab resale tickets and avoid service fees via Ticket Club (use code TICKETNEWS for a free, one-year membership offer).
Stay tuned with TicketNews as we’ll be on-site covering the festival in real time this weekend.
