Here’s what some of the Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville artists have to say about the festival:
"We are so ready for Welcome To Rockville!!! We are proud to be returning to Jacksonville, FL for this incredible festival." -- Brent Smith/SHINEDOWN
“The band cannot wait to get back on the stage for our fans at the upcoming Welcome To Rockville festival. 2016 is going to be a huge year for SIXX:A.M. – a double album, tons of high-octane fueled performances. There is SO much to be excited for and we can’t wait to share the experience with all of you!” -- Nikki Sixx/SIXX:A.M.
“We’re excited to be back in Florida and to rock with everyone at Rockville this April!” -- Chris Henderson/3 DOORS DOWN
Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville producer Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents explains, “People thought I was crazy when I launched a festival in Jacksonville. This is my home town, so I ignored everyone, and we came out of the gate with a sold out event. To go from 10,000 tickets that first year to over 50,000 in 2015, and making this Florida’s biggest rock experience, I couldn’t be more proud to be a native of North Florida and to showcase my home town nationally. Welcome To Rockville has become one of rock's most recognizable festivals, and it's only going to get better.”
