History

The first Welcome To Rockville was held on Mother's Day, May 8, 2011, at the Metropolitan Park. The festival was a one day event, and ran all day Sunday, beginning around 11:00 am and ending after 10:00 pm due to city noise ordinances. A second festival the following year was planned for 2012. The second festival was another one day event that was held on Sunday April 29, 2012. This show saw the return of Jacksonville natives Shinedown to headline the festival along with Korn. The Welcome to Rockville festival was expanded from a one day event to a two-day event in 2013, and three Jacksonville native bands headlined: Limp Bizkit, Shinedown, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The 2013 festival marked the start of a minor controversy about the enforcement of the city noise ordinances with respect to the festival. The lineup for the 2013 festival was announced on Friday, January 25, 2013.
Monster Energy has been a major partner in the festival since Welcome to Rockville's inception in 2011, and the main stages bear the Monster Energy name such as "Monster Energy Metropolitan Stage". The general layout of the festival is that 3 or 4 stages are spread across the venue, and entertainment & food tents are placed between the stages. Regular sponsors are f.y.e., Jägermeister, Jack Daniel's, and Zippo.
The festival was expanded to 3 days in 2018.
In March 2020 it was announced that the festival would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but would return in 2021.
