Aftershock Festival 2025 Lineup and Ticket Schedule

The biggest names in rock and metal are once again descending on Sacramento, CA, for Aftershock Festival 2025, happening October 2–5 at Discovery Park. For four straight days, fans will experience one of the most stacked lineups in heavy music.

Who kicks things off on Thursday? None other than blink-182, joined by fellow pop-punk staples All Time Low, Good Charlotte, and State Champs. You’ll also get a dose of sludge metal from Acid Beach (reuniting after nearly 20 years,) emo from Taking Back Sunday, and punk from Alkaline Trio…making this day of Aftershock feel like the golden age of Warped Tour.

Friday brings the heavy with hometown heroes Deftones at the top, plus Turnstile, Knocked Loose, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Rounding it out are A Perfect Circle, Lamb of God, Bruce Dickinson, and Kerry King. Needless to say, we hope you’re ready to “oepn up this f***king pit,” because these sets both start the weekend and arguably the heaviest day of the Aftershock Festival. 

Saturday explodes with Korn, Gojira, and Chevelle, supported by some of your favorite “newer” bands in the metal scene. These include Bad Omens for a metal-pop mashup that even TikTok approves of — along with Three Days Grace, Trivium, and Dayseeker. The bottom line? Expect walls of sound and some of the most-recorded sets of the weekend.

Sunday closes out with Bring Me the Horizon on top, joined by Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White, and Black Veil Brides, Story of the Year, and The Plot in You. Meanwhile, legends Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, In This Moment, Machine Head, and Static-X bring Aftershock 2025 to an insane finale.

Aftershock Festival isn’t just about mosh pits, either…it’s also a full-fledged playground for metalheads everywhere. Featuring gourmet food trucks, craft beer gardens, sponsor activations, and plenty of space to relax between sets, you’ll never be bored for even a second. There’s never been a better place to make friends with the same music taste as you!

Whether you’re here to scream along to “Sugar” with Korn, lose yourself in the chaos of Deftones, or bounce to blink-182 nostalgia, Aftershock Festival is the must-see rock event of 2025. Verified resale tickets are available now from TicketSales — lock in your spot before it sells out.
