Festival organizer Danny Wimmer expressed his excitement and gratitude for the recent line-up, which saw 210,000 people in attendance and record-breaking temperatures.

"Fifteen years in, Rockville has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. Last year's record-breaking crowd raised the bar for what this festival could be, and this year's lineup lives up to that energy, he said, per Louder Sound.

"Rock only grows when every era and every sound has a place, and it's important to me that all corners of this world are represented here," he added. "Being able to deliver a lineup like this in my home state is something I'm truly grateful for."
