Another year, another massive lineup reveal for the annual four-day music festival known around the world as Aftershock. Set to take place once again from October 2 to October 5 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California, the festival will feature more than 115 bands across four stages, with many additional activities for attendees to enjoy throughout the weekend.
Speaking of this year’s event was none other than Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Productions. Having put on a few festivals in his time, he explained that this year’s event is gong to be one hell of a show.
“Aftershock is the biggest rock, punk, and metal festival on the West Coast, and this year, it lined up perfectly for California fans. We’ve got legendary reunions, rare performances, and more California bands on this lineup than any Aftershock before. Year after year, we’ve broken attendance records, and this one is set to be the biggest yet. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it. I hope to see you there.”
