It’s lucky year 13 for Aftershock as producer Danny Wimmer Presents announces the highly anticipated lineup for The West Coast’s Largest Rock, Punk & Metal Festival, coming back to Discovery Park in Sacramento, California October 2 - 5, 2025.
The four-day destination event will feature 115+ bands on 4 stages, with a lineup of icons and emerging stars topped by Blink-182, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Deftones, A Perfect Circle, TURNSTILE, Korn, Bad Omens, Gojira, Bring Me The Horizon, Rob Zombie, and Marilyn Manson.
“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,” says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “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.”
“We can’t wait to welcome Aftershock back to Sacramento this fall,” said Visit Sacramento President & CEO Mike Testa. “What began as a one-day event has become a totally immersive hard rock experience for some of the best fans in the world, and we’re excited that our city can be a part of it all.”
