Aftershock is set to make its 12th annual appearance at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California from October 10-13, boasting its most impressive lineup to date. This four-day destination festival will showcase exclusive performances, including IRON MAIDEN‘s sole U.S. festival appearance, SLAYER‘s highly anticipated West Coast show (one of just three in nearly five years), the eagerly awaited presence of SLIPKNOT as one of the most requested bands, and the first Aftershock performance by MÖTLEY CRÜE. This promises to be an unmissable event!
The ultimate destination for hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts will include back-to-back headlining performances from SLAYER and PANTERA (Thursday); SLIPKNOT and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (Friday); IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST (Saturday); and MÖTLEY CRÜE and DISTURBED (Sunday). In addition, Aftershock will feature four full days and nights of performances from top artists including: EVANESCENCE, BREAKING BENJAMIN, STAIND, FALLING IN REVERSE, Till Lindemann, RISE AGAINST, HALESTORM, SEETHER, DROPKICK MURPHYS, FLOGGING MOLLY, MASTODON, ANTHRAX, ARCHITECTS, Tom Morello, CYPRESS HILL, MINISTRY and many others.
SLAYER said in a statement: “There’s been a lot of excited fans out there about our playing a couple of festival dates, so it’s great to be able to add this last one.”
