Closing out the weekend at Welcome to Rockville with two of my favorite clients, Enter Shikari and Architects, was a dream come true. No one puts on a show quite like Enter Shikari, and Architects is putting out some of my favorite music in metal at the moment. It was a blast all weekend, and ending it on such a high note (especially with Slipknot and Evanescence later) was more than I could ask for.

Welcome to Rockville’s Saturday date could not have been stronger. Amidst legendary bands that day like Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, Nova Twins and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes showed up early, and they showed out.

Nova Twins were first on one of the main stages, and although they’re known as a duo, between their production quality, performance, and energy, they filled the space incredibly well. One of the highlights for me was the song Choose your Fighter, where they had custom, Mortal Kombat-esque visuals to accompany an already amazing song. It was a complete package and I cannot wait to see them again, at a dedicated show.

Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes were next, with one of the best performances I saw all weekend. Frank Carter himself jumped into the crowd to perform an entire song, surrounded by fans. Later on, he jumps back in again and starts a massive circle pit, creating a hurricane with his performance in the center of it. With all the exaggerated swagger of a tough, UK lad, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes like getting rowdy, and I can’t wait to throw down with them again.

Welcome to Rockville might be my most anticipated event of the year, pending the return of Warped Tour. With six clients across three days, it will be quite the undertaking. Starting the weekend off with In Flames and The Amity Afflicition was, without a doubt, starting off on the right foot.
