The broadcast will air live on the Danny Wimmer Presents Twitch Channel and will document the finale of the festival calendar for 2021.
Bookending what has been a historic year for hard rock and metal specialists Danny Wimmer Presents, the production company’s grand finale for 2021 will now have a global reach. The four-day pilgrimage of Daytona Beach, FL’s Welcome to Rockville will now be livestreamed to a worldwide audience via the DWP Presents Twitch Channel.
Though the broadcast will not include the weekend’s top-billed, two-day anchors in Metallica, nearly all of the remaining artists on the four-day bill will participate in the livestream simulcast. Among the heavyweights showcasing their stage time via the stream include, Slipknot, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, Staind, Anthrax, Cypress Hill, Social Distortion and so many more.
Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Welcome to Rockville banner, DWPresents will not only broadcast daily performances but will gift the streaming audience with the reveal of the line-up for the 2022 edition of Welcome to Rockville. The daily broadcast schedule will be helmed by DWPresents programming anchor That Space Zebra Show’s Bobby Schubenski, Terry Beez, Josh Balz and producer Jake Miller.
“Twitch has provided us with a unique platform to not only have unprecedented daily engagement with our fans but to also discover and interact with the bands of the future,” says Danny Hayes, CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents. “The new Twitch Stage is going to give us the opportunity to showcase some of the amazing new artists we have found on the platform.”
“Twitch is the leader in live, interactive entertainment, and the DWP/Space Zebra team built a channel from the ground-up that engages the rock community through music, humor, and fandom,” said Brian Rucker, Head of Music Content at Twitch. “We can’t wait to see Welcome To Rockville come to life through Twitch.”
The expanded, four-day destination will showcase some 70 different artists at the iconic Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida from November 11-14th. Welcome to Rockville also caps the 2021 partnership between Metallica and DWP, with the band making their final two-day, two unique set appearance at the Floridian festival.
