“This year’s Aftershock marks a bold new chapter for the festival. We’ve brought together metal, punk, emo and nu-metal to create a lineup that’s raw, youthful and unapologetic,” says festival producer Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “With TOOL anchoring the weekend and Pierce the Veil making their headlining debut, we’re breaking boundaries and redefining what Aftershock can be. And after years of fan requests, we’re finally introducing camping—giving fans the chance to fully immerse themselves in the weekend. This is a new era for Aftershock, and Sacramento is about to feel it.”

Last year, Aftershock drew 164,000 fans to Sacramento and brought in an estimated $39 million in revenue for the local economy.
