The 6th annual Welcome to Rockville tour part of Danny Wimmer Presents The worlds loudest month rolled into Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville Florida on April 30th and May 1st.  With over 20 bands playing on 4 stages each day concert goers were sure to get their fix of music from bands like Lamb of God , Hellyeah , Clutch , Sixx  AM , Rob Zombie , Disturbed and plenty more.

 

With the construction of an amphitheater to begin in front of Jaguar stadium in the near future the  2 festival stages were condensed to inside the park unlike last year where Gator Bowl BLVD was closed to accommodate the large sold out crowd that came to town for the tour. And even though many were worried about what is known as the Metropolitan being un useable as it was closed for repairs late last year , the city managed to get it operational for the show and built 2 side by side main stages on the firehouse museum side of the field.
