Welcome To Rockville Canceled

Well, my wait for my first (and second) Metallica concert has just been extended, as Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP) has been forced to cancel three huge festivals including Welcome To Rockville.

The three day hard rock festival was destined to move to Daytona for the first time this year. Other headliners included, Disturbed, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Godsmack, Dropkick Murphys, Rancid, Social Distortion and many more.

DWP Provided the following statement on their webpage:

“We are crushed to say that Epicenter, Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple are being canceled due to the governmental restrictions on mass gatherings.  We respect these directives and recognize they are in the best interest of the greater good, as well as the health and safety of our fans, musicians, partners, and staff.  Before accepting this fate, we worked really hard to try to reschedule the festivals. Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts, venue availabilities and a number of other factors out of our control made postponing impossible.  Make no mistake, each of these festivals will return in May 2021 bigger and stronger than ever! “

DWP has also emphatically stated that full refunds will be available, as well as applying a credit to any of their other festivals, or next year’s event…
