DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Welcome to Rockville music festival announced the line-up for its 2021 event in Daytona Beach on Wednesday.

The announcement comes after the coronavirus pandemic caused the festival planners to cancel the event in May 2020. It was set to be the first year for the event to take place in Daytona Beach after calling Jacksonville home for its first nine years.

After the delay, the original three-day event has now been extended to four days of music with thrash metal icons Metallica headlining two of those days, playing a unique set each time, according to the festival. The headliners for the other two nights are Disturbed and Nine Inch Nails.

The hard rock music festival is set for Nov. 11-14 at Daytona International Speedway.
