SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Sacramento\u2019s biggest rock festival is coming back with its largest lineup yet.<\/p>\n
Organizers announced the 2026 Aftershock Festival will return to Discovery Park on October first through fourth. Officials said more than 140 artists will perform across five stages \u2014 the biggest lineup in the festival\u2019s history. Headliners include My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit, Pierce The Veil, and TOOL.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s Aftershock marks a bold new chapter for the festival. We\u2019ve brought together metal, punk, emo, and nu-metal to create a lineup that\u2019s raw, youthful, and unapologetic,\u201d says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. \u201cWith TOOL anchoring the weekend and Pierce The Veil making their headlining debut, we\u2019re breaking boundaries and redefining what Aftershock can be. And after years of fan requests, we\u2019re finally introducing camping \u2014 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organizers also said the festival site is expanding this year, and for the first time, fans will be able to camp in nearby at Cal Expo. Passes are on sale now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAftershock continues to be a seminal moment for Sacramento, not just for the fans, but for the people who live and work here every day,\u201d said Visit Sacramento President & CEO Mike Testa. \u201cThe festival brings thousands of people to our city for four incredible days, generating more than $39 million in economic impact. Those dollars translate into critical support for our business community and civic partners. Maybe the best part is that Aftershock fans are often discovering Sacramento while they\u2019re here and are making their experience synonymous with the city. We\u2019re grateful for our partnership with DWP and can\u2019t wait to welcome everyone back later this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n
