Korn will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their iconic self-titled album—featuring their breakthrough hits "Blind" and "Shoots and Ladders"—at Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville by playing the album in its entirety. Festival creator and producer Danny Wimmer says, "Korn is one of the most important bands of the last 20 years. They almost single-handedly created a genre of music. When they offered to perform this seminal album front to back, I had to have this special moment for my home town."

21st century hard rock titans Godsmack have sold over 20 million records worldwide and are on the road in support of their sixth full length album 1000hp.
