At Welcome to Rockville, Grammy-winning hardcore group Turnstile hit the stage with their signature high-energy performance. Despite a slight delay due to the tropical Florida weather, the Baltimore-based band thrilled the crowd with hits like “MYSTERY,” “HOLIDAY,” and newer releases “BIRDS” and “Never Enough,” which soared to the top of Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in 2025.
Even rock legend Dave Grohl couldn’t contain his excitement, giving Turnstile a shoutout during the Foo Fighters set. “Nothing gets you pumped up like watching f**king Turnstile right before you go on,” Grohl proclaimed to the cheering audience. The band’s electrifying set left a lasting impression on fans and fellow musicians alike.
The performance comes on the heels of legal issues involving the band’s former guitarist, Brady Ebert, who was recently indicted on an upgraded charge of attempted first-degree murder in Maryland. Ebert allegedly struck William Yates, the father of lead singer Brendan Yates, with his vehicle before fleeing the scene. Despite the turmoil, Turnstile has pressed forward with a busy tour schedule, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza this year.
Rockville, which started as a modest Florida rock gathering in 2011, has grown into a massive four-day event drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees to Daytona Beach annually. The festival, held at the iconic Daytona International Speedway, boasts five stages, carnival rides, and delectable food options for music enthusiasts.
Featuring powerhouse bands like My Chemical Romance, Guns N’ Roses, and Alice Cooper, this year’s lineup promises to deliver unforgettable performances. With Turnstile’s unwavering dedication to their music and their fans, the band continues to make their mark on the music scene, leaving audiences energized and inspired.
