Sacramento is gearing up for a massive weekend of riffs and rallies. Danny Wimmer Presents has officially released the full 2026 lineup for Aftershock, scheduled to take over Discovery Park from October 1 to October 4. The festival is expanding its footprint this year, hosting more than 140 bands across five separate stages.

The headlining spots are stacked with genre-defining acts. My Chemical Romance, Tool, Limp Bizkit, and Pierce The Veil are set to lead the four-day charge. Other confirmed artists include A Day To Remember. The diverse bill spans everything from classic metal to modern hip-hop, ensuring the City of Trees stays loud all weekend long.

Beyond the music, 2026 marks a major milestone for the festival’s infrastructure. For the first time ever, Aftershock will offer on-site camping for fans at nearby Cal Expo. This new addition aims to streamline the experience for the thousands of travelers expected to descend on the California capital for the annual October tradition.
