Aftershock 2024: Unleashing Rock and Metal Mayhem in Sacramento

Sacramento, California, braces itself for a sonic earthquake as the Aftershock Music Festival returns for its 12th year, bigger and badder than ever before. From October 10th to 13th, 2024, Discovery Park will transform into a haven for rock and metal enthusiasts, delivering four days of electrifying performances by a stellar lineup.

A Lineup Fit for Legends and Rising Stars

This year’s Aftershock boasts its most extensive lineup yet, featuring a potent blend of iconic legends, rising stars, and everything in between. Festivalgoers can expect headliners like Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, and Staind to take the stage and deliver unforgettable sets filled with their greatest hits. Alongside these titans of rock, a wave of exciting new voices like Falling in Reverse and Till Lindemann (of Rammstein fame) will bring fresh energy and electrifying performances.

A Genre-Bending Musical Smorgasbord

But Aftershock doesn’t stop there. The festival caters to a wide range of rock and metal subgenres, ensuring there’s something for every taste. From the anthemic melodies of Rise Against and Halestorm to the hard-hitting aggression of Seether and Dropkick Murphys, the diverse lineup offers a musical smorgasbord for fans. Don’t miss the Celtic punk energy of Flogging Molly, the progressive metal mastery of Mastodon, or the thrash metal revival of Anthrax.

Uncovering the Next Generation of Rock Royalty

Beyond the headliners, Aftershock takes pride in showcasing up-and-coming acts. Attendees can discover the next generation of rock and metal heroes with blistering sets from Architects, the political firebrand Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave), and the iconic rap-rock pioneers Cypress Hill. Industrial metal icons Ministry round out the lineup, promising a powerful and unforgettable closing act.

More Than Just Music: A Festival Experience

The festival experience extends far beyond the music. Discovery Park offers a scenic backdrop for the event, with its sprawling grounds nestled at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers. Food vendors will be on hand to cater to all palates, with a wide variety of options to keep festivalgoers fueled throughout the weekend. Merchandise booths will tempt fans with band t-shirts, memorabilia, and festival souvenirs.
