Orlando’s Ultimate Music Weekend: Rolling Loud and Welcome to Rockville 2026

 

Central Florida is the center of the music universe this weekend, May 7–10, 2026. In a rare “double-header” for festival fans, Orlando plays host to the only U.S. stop of Rolling Loud at Camping World Stadium, while just an hour north, Welcome to Rockville celebrates its 15th anniversary at the Daytona International Speedway.

Whether you’re looking for the biggest names in hip-hop or the heavy hitters of rock and metal, this is the ultimate weekend for live music.

Rolling Loud Orlando 2026: The Only U.S. Stop

In a major shift for 2026, Rolling Loud has moved its primary U.S. event from Miami to Orlando. Taking place at Camping World Stadium from May 8–10, this is the only chance for American fans to experience the world’s largest hip-hop festival this year.

The Headliners

  • Friday, May 8: Don Toliver
  • Saturday, May 9: Playboi Carti
  • Sunday, May 10: Ken Carson (Newly added as Sunday headliner)

Expect a massive “RL Week” atmosphere in downtown Orlando, with official takeovers and after-parties happening at venues like Wall Street Plaza and The Vanguard.

Welcome to Rockville 2026: 15 Years of Rock

Celebrating a milestone 15th anniversary, Welcome to Rockville returns to the Daytona International Speedway from May 7–10. With over 160 bands across five stages, it remains one of the largest rock festivals in North America.

The Headliners

  • Thursday, May 7: Guns N’ Roses and Five Finger Death Punch
  • Friday, May 8: Foo Fighters and The Offspring
  • Saturday, May 9: Bring Me The Horizon and Breaking Benjamin
  • Sunday, May 10: My Chemical Romance and A Day To Remember

Local Tip

With over 300,000 fans expected across both cities this weekend, I-4 and the 408 will be extremely congested. If you are traveling between Orlando and Daytona, allow at least two hours of travel time. For Rolling Loud attendees, utilize the Downtown Orlando Shuttles to avoid the limited and expensive parking directly at Camping World Stadium.
