Elsewhere on the Welcome to Rockville 2027 lineup are Marilyn Manson, I Prevail, Till Lindemann, Coal Chamber, Kittie, Crowbar, Lacuna Coil, Fear Factory, Soulfly, Fit for an Autopsy and Infected Rain. It’s a genre-spanning bill, with plenty of genuinely heavy music beneath the marquee names.
Rare Performances and Festival Upgrades
Faith No More’s planned reunion appearance is one of the biggest talking points.
