The West Coast’s Largest Rock Festival returns to Sacramento this fall

Aftershock returns to Discovery Park in Sacramento, CA from October 10-13 for its 12th year with its biggest lineup yet. The four-day destination festival will feature the only US festival play for Iron Maiden, the exclusive West Coast performance for Slayer–one of only three shows in nearly five years–Slipknot as one of the number one requested bands, and the first Aftershock appearance for Mötley Crüe, making it an event not to be missed!

The ultimate destination for hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts will include back-to-back headlining performances from Slayer and Pantera on Thursday; Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch on Friday; Iron Maiden and Judas Priest on Saturday; and Mötley Crüe and Disturbed on Sunday. In addition, Aftershock will feature four full days and nights of performances from top artists including Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Falling in Reverse, Till Lindemann, Rise Against, Halestorm, Seether, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Mastodon, Anthrax, Architects, Tom Morello, Cypress Hill, Ministry and many others.

The West Coast’s Largest Rock Festival is adding a fifth stage, expanding the lineup to a total of 130+ bands.

The JamPack hotel package allows patrons to save by bundling festival passes, hotel and more. Weekend and daily Park & Ride passes are also available for purchase as an add-on option for a convenient way to get to the festival grounds, as there is no on-site parking at Aftershock.
