Aftershock Festival has unveiled its 2026 edition lineup — the largest in the festival's 14-year history, featuring over 140 artists across five stages. The four-day event takes place October 1–4 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California.
Headliners are spread across the four nights: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (Thursday), LIMP BIZKIT (Friday), PIERCE THE VEIL (Saturday), and TOOL (Sunday). The broader lineup is stacked: Thursday also features KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SEVENDUST, THE USED, THE PRETTY RECKLESS, and THE OFFSPRING. Friday sees WU-TANG CLAN, CYPRESS HILL, and SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL. Saturday includes BABYMETAL, A DAY TO REMEMBER, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, and DOWN. Tool's Sunday is joined by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and Danny Elfman.
For the first time in Aftershock history, the festival adds a dedicated camping area at Cal Expo, allowing tent and RV setups. A fifth stage is also being added to the grounds.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 13. Full lineup and schedules are available at aftershockfestival.com.
