Aftershock Festival 2026 announces a massive lineup of over 140 artists spanning hip-hop, metal, punk, and alt-rock genres. The four-day festival runs October 1-4 at Discovery Park in Sacramento. Tool anchors the weekend as a headliner, with Pierce The Veil making their headlining debut. Other notable acts include My Chemical Romance, Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, The Offspring, Danny Elfman, Zakk Sabbath, and Queens of the Stone Age. Promoter Danny Wimmer describes this year as a bold new chapter, combining metal, punk, emo, and nu-metal into a raw, youthful lineup.
