"The 2025 Aftershock festival took place in Sacramento from Thursday, October 2nd, through Sunday, October 5th. Stretching four days and spread out on four stages, this year's festival once again had something for everyone, as Danny Wimmer Presents continues to expand and diversify the lineup. Although the weather went from pouring rain to unseasonably warm in the blink of an eye, that didn't stop festival-goers from enjoying every minute of the festival."
"Day 1 was headlined by pop-punk stalwarts blink-182, who last topped the bill at Aftershock in 2019. They were the band that most people came to see, and they did not disappoint, playing a 90-minute, 22-song set, highlighted by a cover of Descendents' "Hope." Good Charlotte closed out the Shockwave stage right before blink-182, while other highlights from the day included High on Fire, Testament, and the recently reunited Acid Bath, who drew a huge audience over on the Coors Light stage."
"Deftones headlined Day 2, playing a near two-hour set to their hometown, and had the grounds around the Aftershock stage jam-packed. Highlights included "Digital Bath," "Hole in the Earth" and "Around the Fur," but it was "Cherry Waves" that had the fans most pumped up. A Perfect Circle had the audience singing along to every word, while Lamb of God also drew a massive crowd, delivering the live debut of their new single "Sepsis.""
