Welcome to Rockville

All the bands I got to see were awesome! Unfortunately severe weather compromised the "rain or shine" parameters for Saturday, which shut down the event twice that day. Because of the event being put on pause not once, but twice many artists that I wanted to see were not able to play. Totally not the events fault although I feel like the adjustment to the set times could have been handled better. Sunday went through fine with Slipknot being all that I wanted and Papa Roach being more than I expected. Overall really enjoyed all of it. Even being stuck under that overpass in the rain. Just wish we didn't miss so many bands on Saturday.

It was a great weekend minus the Tornado that went to close to us. Korn, Manson, Papa Roach, Nothing More, Non Point and Slipknot killed it. Was good to finally see Manson, Non Point and Slipknot for the 1st time.

This was my 3rd year going, and I have to say that it WAS FABULOUS! !! SLASH .... Let's just say "DAMN", Myles your voiceis fanomenal, the overs experience was the bomb. Breaking Benjamin same thing. GodSmack again DAMN. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for sharing with us your talent 's and your thoughts that you put to music. There was plenty of time to get to everyone i wanted to see. The food vendors I think really stepped up their game for overall category of everyone's needs, best so far that I've seen there. Thank you Rockville for an amazing and well put together event.

Second time for Rockville. LOVED IT!!!!!!! Once again superb scheduling and line up. Will definitely return next year. SHINEDown Rocked!!!!!!!!! Best way to spend a Sunday, EVER!!!!!

I never thought they could do better than last year and boy was I wrong. Entire line up rocked. P.O.D played a great set,FFDP threw down as expected, and KORN put on a excellent performance. When you combine that with Shinedown, Halestorm, and Evanescence in a 6 hour period your gonna have a great time. Can't wait till next year. Great value and a great time.

Good concert. Not a bad line-up. Hope next year is awesome.

nothing can beat the year of the cold '11 but omg this was still so good and im a vet now!

Badass concert!!!! Going again next year! Thanks rock 104.5

I only went to day 2, with Slipknot because I went to Earthday Birthday the previous day. I heard there were storms and a tornado 5 miles away. Glad we were at EDBD. Anyway, the lineup was amazing! There were so many awesome bands we decided to head up for this concert. Beer lines were a little long but nothing really out of the ordinary. Plenty of bathrooms and portapotties. Good selection of food and food trucks and the autograph signings and music store tent were cool. They had a guitar shredding contest I would have entered but I wanted to meet the Butcher Babies. By the time I got there, the line was so long I gave up......I already had an ESP LTD like they were giving away but a much better model. Still would have been fun. Maybe I'll enter it next year. The only big downside is there was so much stuff going on that you had to miss out on some things you want to do to see other stuff because of overlapping. I missed all of In This Moment and really wanted to see their show. I haven't seen them since Jan 2014 so I was bummed but whatever. I also didn't like the Jack Daniels stage. The entrances were way too small and hard to get in and out of. Overall highly recommended!

Unfortunately, Saturday was rainy. I missed 3 different bands I wanted to see because they stopped letting the bands play. This happened twice. But, Sunday was gorgeous. The venue has enlarged, the stages separated. Bad news, more people at main stages. Good news, if a stage gets behind, it doesn't delay the other one. Food this year, less than stellar. 2013 had much better selection. Monster stage needed to be moved closer to river to give more patrons a better view. LOCKERS!!! nuff said there. Tequila tent. YES!!! DJ boat. NO!!!! Graffiti wall. YES! Ferris wheel. nice.( I have never done VIP. Why isn't it covered? Shaded? ) It's a festival worth going to . There are gazebos and pavilions to take a break under. Trees also.

Such an unforgettable heavy metal festival. Got weathered out twice first day resulting in a few cancellations, super hot on the second, but all bands put out amazing performances & the sound was incredible. The energy from the crowd was just unreal. Any heavy metal enthusiast needs to know about this festival. Absolutely amazing.

Overall Rockville was once again a fantastic hard rock festival. The venue is absolutely perfect, the bands put on a great show, and the various festivities in the event make for a great experience. I mean, they even had a ferris wheel. That is not to say it's perfect though. On Saturday, rain canceled several bands so if you were looking forward to one or two of them in particular, you are kind of SOL. I met one couple who flew down from Canada to see Halestorm, only to have essentially their entire set canceled. Now, I don't blame the festival for this. There was lightning, hail, and a tornado nearby. You MUST get people to safety. That's without question. However, to pretend that people are not still getting screwed out of their money is absurd. I thought the event should've made some effort to make people understand that they mattered. Maybe make parking on Sunday free or half-off rather than the ridiculous $20. Maybe try and speed things up on Sunday to get one or two of the bands in, at least for meet and greets. Maybe give everyone a free water on Sunday. Do something! Instead, they did nothing. I also thought they once again sold too many VIP tickets. There simply wasn't enough room and finding a seat in the late afternoon became impossible. Sell fewer tickets so you can remove some of the port-a-potties and add more tables and chairs. Speaking of port-a-potties, what happened to the bathroom trailer from a couple of years ago? Now that was VIP worthy. Lastly, they needed to bring in more mulch on Sunday to cover up the muddy areas. There were just too many mud pits that made walking around a hassle. Overall, however, the event is wonderful and I will be buying VIP tickets again next year!

This was my first time attending an event like this one and I had an awesome time.

It was a beautiful day outside and all the bands got to play on time and I was able to see all the bands I wanted to see. All of the headliners were amazing.

Great experience. Slipknot was amazing. Front left center in the corner of the railing behind one person. Survived the rain and two evacuations, but resulted in better visual for Marilyn Manson in front. A suggestion would be to add vendors to the front of the stage.

There was a tornado and I would have still liked to see the bands that were scheduled! What about a follow up day to make up for it?? Or 50% off my next concert ticket? Or ANYTHING?! Are we not METAL HEADS?! WHO CARES ABOUT A TORNADO! Anyway. Glad that the portopotties were cleaned out between days and they laid down mulch to absorb the rain from day 1. The lineup was sick too.

This was our 1st time at an event like this, we had a blast.

they had it organized very well for the vip section. great show

The two day event was very unforgettable! They had Meet & Greets all day, both days (only downside was sometimes to get in line and meet them, you couldn't go to the other stage area and HEAR them!) Food & drink were readily available and very yummy, though crazy high-priced. The bands were all phenomenal and gracious and sounded perfect from the general admission area. However, we paid way extra for "VIP". That was a total rip off. We didn't get better parking, we didn't get better seating, we didn't get better food, drink, band access.. Heck, we didn't even get IN THE GATES until after the general admission!! CRAZY! We were set up all the way at the back/side of the fields where the bands were playing and couldn't see or hear well at all. Bottom line.. Definitely Go-See, but SAVE your money and buy GENERAL ADMISSION! VIP is a rip off.

This was a great venue aside from the poor performance by theory of a deadman no one else disappointed ....volbeats cover of ring of fire was one of the coolest things of day one... Avenged sevenfold is avenged sevenfold if you don't know what I mean by that you don't belong at Rockville. Second day seether started the crowed but 5FDP was the true gods of the event the crowd noise and crowd surfing was only beaten by korn who had twice as many people watching..... Next years headliner needs to be FIVE_FINGER_DEATH_PUNCH!!!!

Everything about both days of the event took my breath away. I will certainly be returning for Rockville 2015! The selection of bands that played were nothing short of incredible. This is also my first concert in an open park area. I'm used to being in amphitheaters etc., but this was the real deal. The stages at the event were top-notch. The lights and special effects really added a lot of hype to the headlining bands.

Over all the event was great. There were enough vendors and some places to cop a squat under a tree for some shade BUT we did NOT appreciate being sprayed in our faces every 10 minutes with water hoses at the WEST STAGE! It was nice to get a short spritz in the beginning and every once in a while but the event staff (wearing yellow shirts) sprayed everyone continuously thereafter to the tune of being sprayed with fire hoses. It was a direct and forceful spraying constantly. Our phones, bags, shoes, etc were all drenched. This continued until just before dark. The crowd at one point began to plan an attack if it didn't stop which it did at the last hour just before dark and we were there for 12 hours. I mean come on...some spraying to cool off I can totally understand but they went way overboard! I would've enjoyed it much more had we not had to have dealt with that all day. We came to enjoy a concert NOT a water park!

Every band that played gave it there all. FFDP were awesome on and off stage, i was unable to get their autograph but got some pretty awesome pic of the. Ivan pulled a young fan onto the stage and had him sing with him that was super awesome in my opinion. Rob Zombie`s show was unforgettable my only wish was that i could have gotten closer he actually went croud surfing!! Im looking forward to next year's show. Rockville 2014 was unforgettable! !

This was an awesome festival! The venue was great! Plenty of food, beverage & merchandise tents. Lots of shade areas with benches or picnic tables. And of course the lineup was top notch with over 40 bands over 2 days. Definitely recommend this for any rock fan!

We are from Europe and enjoyed this well organised Festival in Jax! Best Band line up ever seen! Very good Food tents and good organised VIP area with restrooms and additional Food/Drinks. Just one small Thing, VIP seating Areas were too far from the main stages and in average to sold vip tix, less seating possibilities. But Overall was it an AWERSOME Weekend in JAX!

I had a blast with me and a buddy. Security was pretty stupid as far as telling you that you can't bring something in then you seeing everybody around you with that object you had to bring back to your car. So other than dealing with stupidity, it was great. A lot of great bands. Expensive food and drinks obviously (no re-entry so easy way to make money). Definitely worth going to. If you can get past the irritating security and prices of food and drink haha. It is veryyy crowded tho.

The entire show was awesome! Korn had the top performance! Five finger death punch gained a new fan, and staind, avenge sevenfold and vol beat rocked out as well! One of the best weekends of my life, even though I walked away with a foot injury....it was well worth it! I would do it all over again!!!!

Wow! What an amazing weekend of music! So many great bands. Avenge Sevenfold ended Sat night with a re-memorable performance and fireworks! Lacuna Coil were amazing Sun!! Five Finger Death Punch were outstanding! And Staind played for the first time in over 2 years and had an unforgettable performance!!

I still cannot believe $125 got me in to see all these top-notch rock bands. Very well-run show. Minimal lines for bathrooms, food, or drinks.

The over all festival was a huge success, as was last year. My only disappointment came when it was Theory Of a Dead Man's turn to play, as much as i was looking forward to them i was just as much wishing it was over.I thought they really weren't all that good, their stage presents was stagnant and the vocals were awful. I Would Not go out of my way to see them again. Korn and Rob Zombie whom I've seen may times of course did not disappoint at all. They gave their all and came threw once again. I thank them for a wonderful show and i appreciate their talents, well worth the money and then some.

Awesome event. The bands absolutey rocked. Will attend again. Love the location

This concert was one of the BEST I have ever been to. It was located in Jacksonville and I drove every bit of 16 hours from Indiana to see these guys perform and it was worth every bit of time cramped into the car! Avenged Sevenfold put on a show that I will never forget, Chiodos came out with so much energy and put on a good show, and ADTR came out and performed fantastically! It was just the concert I needed to prepare me for Vans Warped Tour this July! Overall awesome concert!

This was my second time at Rockville. I Flew in from Boston and I purchased VIP tickets. I however was disappointed this year compared to last. They had the 2 main stages at opposite ends of the park so it was tiring walking back and forth all day long in the heat. Last year they had the 2 main stages next to each other so it was convenient going back and fourth from stage to stage. If you wanted to see the smaller bands then walks back and forth were because you chose. The air conditioned bathroom wasn't in the VIP section this year like last and their was less vendors. They added a second VIP section which was nice but they put it on a hill so you couldn't see the stage. Food prices were a little high but the alcohol was comparable to sporting venues. Overall I most likely will go back next year. However it would be more convenient if Monster Energy would add a Festival up here in New England for the World's Loudest Month for New Englanders to experience.

So between the line-up if a life time and the most intense fans, Welcome to Rockville was absolutely insane. Can't wait to do it all over again next year!!!!

The whole weekend was great. Stages could have been laid out a bit better, but overall great. The Pre-party with Rev Theory was well done too. Great vendors and food. Definitely going again next year. Loved Lacuna Coil, Rob Zombie, 5FDP, Rev Theory, and especially Twelve Foot Ninja.

The venue itself was one of the nicer open air venues I've been to recently. The surplus of available bathrooms was nice but not very well maintained. It was hot and the staff entertained the crowd by hosing them off. Pyrotechnics were great. The wait between artists was a bit much with standing in the heat for sometimes an hour waiting on bands to start. That got a little tiresome in the heat. I also wish that I didn't have to compromise seeing one band for the other because they were playing at the same time( I.e. Five finger death punch and motionless in white) My main complaint is that events like this should not be all ages. The cameramen were very vigilant in displaying, on the huge screens, all the girls showing off their chests. This is expected at most concerts but I'm bothered by the fact that there were tons of young children there exposed to it. Shows like this really need to be 18 and up.

Where else could one see this many great, current, and up-&-coming bands in one place..., in one weekend..., period. The experience was nothing short of Excellent! Great Time! However, I think someone got fired during Buckcherry's set.

Flipping AWESOME....Absolutely LOVED it.....Definitely going next time!!!!

this was an amazing show, and i most definitely look forward to going again each and every time !!!!!! it was elbow to elbow fun!! This is not a show to miss if you like rock n roll !!!!

I had never been to Metro park before. Great venue. Wish that they had left more time between bands . Also wish that there weren't more than one playing at the same time. Before the line up changed , my girls were trying to decide how much of Hollywood Undead they could see before running over to Motionless in White. Plenty of food, no long lines at vendors. The first day it took us an HOUR to get in. They needed more than 4 gates going in. Second day we had no wait. Merch was about the same price as other venues. Good selection. I'm not sure why Lynard Skynard got put into this mix?? I wish I had known the line up prior to making reservations. I would have checked out sunday, and after Shinedown ,played driving a few hours toward home. Then my Monday drive would have been shorter. Security was there, effective, but not aggressive. LOTS of places to sit and take a load off.

The event was great. I love it and cannot wait until next year.

Let's start with the venue...OUTSTANDING! Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville is a great concert venue. There is shade everywhere and REAL bathrooms! The lineup was amazing. I have never seen so many big acts in one place before. For anyone wanting to see Alice in Chains, let me just say...their new singer sounds amazingly like Layne Staley. Other great acts: Hollywood Undead tore it up and brought a young kid from the crowd up on stage with them. Steel Panther...it is like the 80's reborn meets This is Spinal Tap...they were great! My only complaint is not really a complaint because I know bands have to start at the bottom and earn their way to a main stage, but Device (lead singer David Draiman of Disturbed) should have been on a main stage if Red and Asking Alexandria were. We trekked back to one of the smaller stages to see them and it would have been worth it to walk 100 miles. They may have been the best act there although it is hard to just be cavalier with handing out that title. Overall, if you want to see a great festival, I would HIGHLY recommend this one for the venue and the overall production. Well done, Jacksonville!

I would go every year all the remains, in this moment, all the bands were awesone I had a blast

I saw so many of my favorites and rocked so hard i cannot begin to explain my excitement

I absolutely LOVED this event! The location was amazing and there were plenty of places to rehydrate. You also had a great view of the stages without having to be right in the crowd if you wanted. I am thoroughly looking forward to this event next year if the line up is as epic as it was this year!

Show was awesome Shinedown and halestorm rocked the house

The show was awesome!!! I went to see Trivium. I wanted to see them the most. I'd already seen them twice before and knew they'd rock the place. They are really cool guys too. They had a meet and greet after their time on stage. I got their autographs, shook their hands, and got to kiss Corey on the cheek. I was happy. I got more than what I went for and went home after that. POD was playing while I was waiting in line to meet Trivium. They were great and that was the last band I saw.

All these shows rocked!!! Amy lee was sexy as usuall!!! Korn was super awsome and had the whole crowds attention!

The whole event was an amazing experiance! I saw the good the bad and the UGLY! Lacuna Coil blew me away! Trivium was kick ass! POD could have been better but i'm not a huge fan of them anyways. Five Finger Death Punch stole the whole event! I hope next year is just as good or better.

This is my favorite festival in the World's Loudest Month. I was very disappointed with the main stages being on opposite sides of the venue. Please bring back the twin main stages! Other than that..... The lineup is always epic and I hope to never miss this festival! Bring back the twin main stages and that 5th star will be included in the rating \\m/

This was by far the best music event I've ever been to! While I'm not a big fan of Jacksonville as a city; the venue choice that was made is just kicks! There is so much room to spread out and you don't feel like people are on top of you the whole day. The LINEUP - is just killer. I wish t-shirts weren't $30/piece - - but hey, you don't have to buy one if you don't want. 2015 was my first year at this event - - - - - - - - but it won't be the last. Driving from NOLa to be there was worth it.

More good than bad, venue wasn't that great but it was pretty laid back over all.

I haven't been to a rock show like this in a long time. This exceeded every expectation I had! This may have been one of the best days in my life! My daughter got to meet Motionless in White and that experience alone was unforgettable!!! I was not disappointed in any of the performances. My favorite was MIW as we were right in the front row!

Overall the event was amazing except for the VIP experience which was very poorly managed for the cost! There were a total of two security guards for the main VIP area and I spent more time fighting through crowds of people that did not have VIP access in the VIP areas!!! I would've expected a little more security given the cost of those VIP areas. The festival never announced that Hollywood Undead was being canceled as droves of people anxiously awaited for them to start playing only to have another band come on. The meet and greets went very well and there was a lot of access to a lot of different bands.

It was our third year to attend this event and we are already looking forward to next year. The lineup just keeps getting better & better.

3rd year going and it just keeps getting bigger. I liked the new set up with the shaded underpass. I hope they keep building it up and making Rockville the best it can be.

Each year gets better. We are starting to plan our vacations around Rockville. Rain couldn't keep us away on Saturday. Got hurt by a crowd surfer during Slipknot, but it was worth it.

The festival was amazing. We love all available structure. We left Brazil to have the opportunity to see much of our favorite bands on the same day, especially Tremonti, who although he made a short show, was our most special moment.

The show is usually great, but all of the first day was ruined. I understand that weather can't be helped, but the way it was handled was terrible. The announcement for the storm asked everyone to evacuate to their cars. They didn't tell you that you needed your tickets to get back in and ours got soaked in the rain and fell apart. They also didn't tell anyone bands were getting canceled. 2-3 got canceled in the first wave of storms. We waited it out to see Halestorm though. We managed to get to the front and right before they came on the warning went up again and we were told to evacuate. With no information from anyone at the festival, we figured they would be canceled too. We finally decided to leave because of that, got completely drenched trying to get to our cars only to hear them start playing after about 20 minutes of waiting for the rest of our party. Even when people asked, no one would tell them what was going on. We were all pretty angry with the concert staff for failing to tell anyone anything besides the storm was coming and to evacuate.

Awesome show! All the bands were great. Except marylin Manson. He looked sloppy. Metallachi was a great addition as well. Very entertaining. The only complaint I could give is that this is a 2 day show that lasts a long time (11ish to midnight) and once they scan your ticket, you can't get back out. It was very unfair to lock people in a place like that all day without being able to leave. Thankfully it rained out a couple times during saturday and we were allowed to walk back to the car and tailgate some without having to pay 10 bucks for half a chicken breast on a stick!! Overall though we had a great time and do plan to attend next year.

best festival I've been to with probably the best rock line up assembled

2nd year going...last year only 1 day; this year both days! Absolutely well done event right from parking to the bands to the venue to the variety of food. Hatebreed, Slayer and Godsmack were favorites but discovered 2 new bands that are really good; Shattered Sun and Sanre. I recommend VIP tickets highly; definitely worth the extra $s.

Due to my job being in emergency management I was not able to come over on Saturday for day 1 of the festival. The weather cleared on Sunday and I was able to make it. I loved Slash's set...he had a mixture of songs off of his albums along with classic Guns 'N' Roses songs. Godsmack was very good as well. Surprise guest Nothing More sounded awesome, and the Butcher Babies and Tremonti as well as the Pretty Reckless all sounded amazing.

Sunday was great, so many years since I last saw Slipknot. Definitely worth the wait

It was our first time attending WTR and it was awesome, can't wait to do it next year!

This show was awesome. Always a great time. Hated the rain but it cleared out and we were able to enjoy the later shows. Can't wait for next year.

everything was great at the Omni. I loved the VIP section at Monster main stage but the other VIP at JD main stage was a joke... So small. Couple of future suggestions is that VIP have reenrty since our hotels are so close it would be nice to go change for the night shows. Lockers were a good idea. More big screens.

Welcome to Rockville was awesome! This was my first time attending it and I was impressed, minus the weather which can't be controlled. There were so many good bands playing I had to make it down to Jacksonville from Michigan to check it out. I plan on attending again.

The lineup was amazing and the secret performance was the best part by far. Even though the weather was not optimal on Saturday they picked the show back up and started when the weather cleared not once but twice! The only thing I could say that could be better is if there was a closer view to the stage from VIP especially by the main monster stage. You could see the big monitors but its not the same experience as you get by being closer to the acts and after paying the money you do its not as great. The bathrooms and tables under the bypass were a great choice when the weather was not so nice and also when the sun was blazing on Sunday.

Welcome to Rockville was a great experience. The hotel and vip package were well worth it. Saw more great bands than I can count. Only complaint is they need more accommodations for severe weather. There were very few places in the venue to get out of the storm if you did not drive. Lots of food, drink and merchandise options. If you like heavy metal, get to one of these events.

Great Line up for a reasonable cost. My only issue was there was a rain storm that came in at the beginning of the first day and they would not let us into the show and i a few acts were cancelled because of this. It did say on the ticket rain or shine, yet because there was some lightning the show did not go on this this stopped. I was a little concerned because i drove 876 miles from New Jersey to Florida to make the show. Once the rain stopped the show was pretty amazing. Only issues were the camera men who shot video for the main stages did a poor job and beings it was a festival i saw a lot of the shows from the screens and also in order to get a water you had to wait in the beer lines which were very long, the prices were good just i felt you should have been able to get water at the food vendors instead of a 15 minute wait, in which i bought 1 water each day because i didn't feel like waiting in line.

Except for the weather on Saturday which they could not help, the event was great. Lots of great bands every year to see. I like how they set up this year's event with utilizing the stadium parking which is a lot closer and less walking!

The first day was miserable. It rained hard and a lot of the bands were cancelled. Would have been nice if we could have brought umbrellas but they were prohibited. Second day was much nicer. Got to see and hear some great music.

The main reason we got tickets was to see Hollywood Undead. We saw Stars in Stereo, they were great! Then they set up HU. It started to rain,for about 2.5 hours. We got ran off, we were at the stage. When we returned we couldn't get near the stage. Then they tore down HU stage. Just wow! The next band, Of Mice and Men played then we left. Worst concert experience of my life. The tickets said rain or shine! I heard eight bands didn't play that day. I wouldn't ever drive 6 hours to go there again!

Shocktop is not a "Craft Beer" - stop selling for $9 each. No water or beer sold during rain sessions. So, everyone water hours with no beverages and was told to go to their cars for shelter. TWICE throughout the festival on Sat. 4/25. Fire Marshall stopped booth from selling parasols for shade in 90 degree hot weather. Minimal shade was available near the stages. IF IT WASNT FOR SLIPKNOT BEING AS KICK ASS AS THEY WERE ON SUNDAY, the whole 2-festival would have been a complete waste of time, money & energy. Too bad there was a ton of mud everywhere... at least they threw SOME mulch down.

Ministry and slipknot killed it. Not a lot of shade but it was worth it.

I went to Rockville on Saturday April 25 and though I wasn't able to make it at the opening time, I learned upon my arrival at 5 pm that I hadn't missed much. I got my VIP pass and geaded to the stages. Many of the bands had been cancelled due to weather conditions, but I still got to see two of the four bands I wanted to see most of all: Halestorm and Marilyn Manson. Halestorm put on a great show, even jesting about naming your band carefully to avoid inclimate weather. They played their biggest hits and a few songs off the new album before handing the stage over to Slayer. The fun and games started long before Manson took the stage. The mud pit was already churned to ankle depth by the time I got to the stage and there were intermittent shoving matches all around. A good day so far. I even found a tent selling gluten-free goodies so all was well. I had never attended a Manson concert before so I was uncertain if the low energy was building to something greater towards the end. I ended up waiting for a crescendo that never came. Several times Manson mumbled through songs and even added a "whatever" as the always sexy Ziggy carried the band through the performance. I'm not sure if the resentment was mutual but he clearly had no love for Jacksonville. Finally I attended part of the Korn concert. There was an abundance of energy to be had, but ranther a lack of focus. Most of the songs played were either so old or so new I didn't recognize a single stanza, even as I left the grounds and walked to my car. (Where I had to pay $20 to park). The VIP pass in my opinion was a complete waste of money. The VIP area was so far from the stage I would have been better off mixing it up in the mosh pit. There was no parking included either. The VIP services consisted of a few vendors, mostly selling the same stuff - T-shirts and cheap beer - at a premium. The information posted on the grounds and/or given by the staff was incorrect about 99% of the time. There were multiple signings I would have liked to attend, but couldn't get any information as to where and when they would be. In closing, the weather certainly added an element of chaos to the event, but there was a clear lack of communication between the bands and the staff. Save your money and buy the cheap tickets because you can't bring a professional camera/ camcorder or binoculars into the event either. Might as well see it up close and personal even if you do wind up leaving bruised and covered in mud.

The line up was great and that brought in a pretty interesting crowd to watch some first rate performances. Korn's set was perfect, they came off as being exactly the band I dreamed they were. It was a ton of fun and I cant wait till next year!

Rain, Tornadoes, Evacuations, Mud and obstructed views. All that money and I got to see Marylin Manson and Slipknot only. Never going back!

This event is one of my favorites and I schedule it into my calendar and my budget every year. The only reason I did not give this year's event 5 stars was because of the way they changed the setup. Having two main stages opposite each other makes it difficult to get to the stage without missing the first couple songs of each band. Not to mention, you don't have enough time to get to a good viewing area. At the end of the day, it doesn't make me want to purchase more food or merchandise by making me walk past the vendors multiple times - it makes me TIRED. And because of that, I opted to leave early and missed out on almost all of SLIPKNOT. Additionally, the two smaller stages were really close to the Monster Stage and they played on top of the bands on the Monster Stage, making it hard to hear the music. VERY distracting!

I missed out on half the bands because of overlapping set times. You had to pick and chose what bands to see. The muddy main stage grounds smelled like cow manure. Thanks to the Jack Daniels they sold, I didn't lose it.

even with the rain it was still awesome. I had a great time and cannot wait for next year!

The weather was terrible the first day, it rained and even had a tornado watch. We missed out seeing Hollywood Undead, Halestorm, and Devil Wears Prada. Second day of Rockville was just awesome. The weather kept and we got to see everyone. It made up for the first day though some of the bands were scheduled right on top of each other so you couldn't see a whole show if you wanted to see both bands. It didn't last as late as Rockville last year either.

The package that we purchased included hotel, tickets, and souvenirs. Everything went very smoothly, all staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly, would definitely do it again in the future.

Had a great time after the rain quiet. Like a Storm is one of my new favorit bands

All bands were awesome !! We will continue to Go to this venue every year!!

This is my third year attending Welcome to Rockville and it was just as awesome as before. Yes, there were some rain delays but I feel like there wasn't really anything else they could do about that. They had to keep people safe. I love seeing the changes made each year to make the show better and better. The only thing that kind of sucked this year is the bottle necking/crowd flow at the entrance and exit. That was kind of a nightmare.

The bands were great but the way the event was layed out with the 2 main stages on oppsite sides of the park ment 20000 people walking back and forth. Last tim ewe went the 2 main stages were together and we could see all the bands we wanted to see with out walking miles for the day. Also I got the impression the event was over sold for where it was held. Should have cut off ticket sales and planned for a bigger location next year.

3rd time to go to Rockville... Was a great show from beginning to end. Weather perfect and all the bands were awesome. Was surprised to see Nothing More. They do a awesome show. saw them there last year. Cant wait to see what next year has in store for us.

By far best concert event I've been to in past couple years

It rained the first day and was hot the next, but still saw amazing bands! Ministry, Manson, Breaking Benjamin, and Godsmack were great!

The concert went well until it got shut down due to the rain even though it was a rain or shine event. We lost 2-4 hours of music. Vip section was not worth it. The seats were far from the stage.

The show and the venue were awesome! Alot if folks getting together to enjoy the bands, the atmosphere. Food was good to.

Despite the show stopping 2 times for severe weather I had a blast. Good music and great bands. This was my first time seeing Slayer and even though I'm not a fan I was impressed by how fast they played. KoRn played the best I have ever seen them play (9 times). Congrats on 20 years guys. Sunday was great also. Breaking Benjamin killed it. Great to see them back. PaPa Roach was great and so was Godsmack. Seeing Slash was awesome. I can't wait to do it again next year. Bring back Breaking Benjamin and KoRn.

Great shows and lots of fun! Just don't buy mixed drinks there and wear comfortable shoes. I caught one of the so called bartenders under pouring. Needless to say that was my one and only drink I bought there that day! Monster main stage area could of used more mulch put down on ground after all that rain. All in all it is well worth the money loved seeing Slash, Hailstorm etc...and Nothing more was a awesome addition to the already rocking line up! I had a great time and would recommend going to everyone who loves rock.

Rain evacuations on Saturday, yes I understand weather can be bad but bands did not play, we had to pay $40 in parking for 2 days when it should have got free parking on sunday due to the weather atleast. On Sunday we were held in the parking lot 30 minutes after gates were supposed to open. I use to love going to rockville, but I will never go again. Treat your customers better.

To start off, these tickets were very pricey, ended up paying $160 for two people, thought I would get more than my money's worth. I was totally wrong. The event got rained out, which led all of the attendees to be forced under a covered overpass side by side cramped, for about an hour and a half. When the storm had passed, so did the bands that were scheduled to play. They picked up on the schedule and I was willing to keep the positivity and have a good time....the band I came to see, Slayer, decided to wait and play their set an hour after they were scheduled to, and by the time they began to play, the other headliner, who I wanted to see as well, Marilyn Manson, was scheduled to play. I skipped Slayer to see Manson, and this was the highlight. I saw one person play out of 10 that I paid money to see. Definitely would give anything to have my money back. Not to mention, the bathroom situation at the fest was disgusting. Porta-potties that were covered in vomit. And with all of the rain, I must not forget to mention that we were wading in muddy water to walk around. Horrible atmosphere, horrible location, horrible scheduling, overpaid for one of the least exciting events I have ever been to. Highly disappointed. Thought the event was rain or shine...must have been false advertisement.

this event was a rain or shine event, but yet, when it rained, they stopped all music and purchases.

The shows were amazing!!! I hope for more lockers next year.

This was my first concert in Jax. I enjoyed the hotel, the hospitality and ....the concert!...the lineup was simply amazing! We decided to omit the Orlando EDBD to go to this event and (sorry JRR) glad we did. However, I was very disappointed that I did not get to see Scott Weiland Saturday due to the storms. Highlight of Saturday for me was Marilyn Manson! He sounded phenomenal and was very entertaining....which I expected from him. He did not disappoint. Sunday was more jam packed! The weather cooperated with the event and got to see more bands....Slash feat. Myles Kennedy, Motionless in White, Hatebreed, Godsmack, etc....and the main headliner....Slipknot! which drew me to go in the first place! Saying they were amazing just doesn't cover it. They were bad ass to the bone!! They made all the pushing, shoving and stampede of inconsiderate assholes worth it! Would I do it again? Hell yeah!
