Foo Fighters, Tool and Korn to headline Epicenter Festival 2019

Epicenter Festival – a new 3-day destination music experience from premier independent U.S. music festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents – brings a massive music lineup to its 2019 debut, with over 65 music artists performing on four stages, led by FOO FIGHTERS, TOOL and KORN. The inaugural festival takes place in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic region, at the newly created Rockingham Festival Grounds in Richmond County, North Carolina on Friday, May 10, Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12, 2019.
 
Epicenter will also feature sets from ROB ZOMBIE, JUDAS PRIEST, BRING ME THE HORIZON, THE PRODIGY, THE CULT, 311, EVANESCENCE, BUSH, +LIVE+ and dozens more. The expansive Rockingham Festival Grounds, being developed in coordination with Rockingham Dragway, The Rock (Rockingham Speedway), and other local land owners, promise nonstop entertainment, extensive camping options, and no curfew. 

There are many defining moments that dramatically mark a band’s history, and one such moment in time happened in North Carolina with Korn. NC holds a special place in Korn’s heart, as we unexpectedly reunited with our old friend Head. It’s been a great 6+ years with Head back in Korn and we look forward to rocking NC again with Foo Fighters, Tool and many other great bands – Korn

The daily music lineup for Epicenter Festival is as follows (subject to change):

Camping options will include immersive, Premium Spaces on the North Side of the site as well as free options in the South Side campgrounds.
