The 2025 Welcome to Rockville festival is set to feature an extensive lineup of bands at the Daytona International Speedway from May 15 to 18, including well-known headliner Green Day. Among the more than 150 bands, some possess distinctive names that pique curiosity, and a quiz has been crafted to test how familiar fans are with the real performers.
Fans of the festival can challenge their knowledge with questions that present three band names, where only one is genuine. For instance, one band is named after a famous children’s author and plans to release albums titled ‘Antibloom’ and ‘Pink Moon’ in 2025. It goes by the name Silverstein, competing against imaginative but fictitious options such as Seuss Army Knife and Beatrix Is For Kids.
Another query involves a metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio, that gained attention with their single ‘Don’t Dink and Drance.’ This band’s name is derived from a well-known Meryl Streep film, identified as The Devil Wears Prada, with The Iron Lady and Ironwood as decoys.
A group originating from Gilbert, Arizona, with a name inspired by a Cap’n Jazz song, is Scary Kids Scaring Kids. This real band’s existence is juxtaposed against the fake Puddlesplashers and Planet Shhh.
An interesting challenge asks about a band that co-headlined shows with Knuckle Puck, with the correct answer being Real Friends, leaving options like Eternal Friends and Lifelong Friends in the realm of fiction.
Gamers might recognize a Florida alt-rock group’s contribution to ‘Madden ’07.’ This band, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, stands out against the fabricated Blue Overalls Device and Purple Spacesuit Paraphernalia.
From Donetsk, Ukraine, a progressive metal band named Jinjer emerged in 2009, contrasting with the non-existent Güldenrad and Quoquonut.
A group from Troy, Michigan, originally named This Emergency, has rebranded as We Came As Romans. The quiz misleads with Romulus and Ramen as false alternatives.
Originating their career at a New Year’s Eve party in Richmond, Virginia, the band Municipal Waste is a correct option against names like Toxic Dump and Garbage Patch.
Miami is home to a post-hardcore group known for the song ‘Beauty is in the Eye of the Beerholder.’ Their true identity, I Set My Friends on Fire, is obscured by fictional I Stole Your Wallet and I Slashed Her Tires.
Finally, when it comes to bands with death-related names, the trick lies in knowing that all options—Obituary, Bodybox, and Caskets—are indeed genuine bands.
With such an eclectic mix of band names, the Welcome to Rockville festival not only promises a thrilling lineup but also challenges attendees to discern the real talents from cleverly crafted fakes. This playful quiz underscores the diverse and dynamic nature of the music scene.
