Aftershock 2025 Draws Record-Breaking Crowd Of Over 164,000 Fans, The Largest In The Festival’s History
The West Coast’s Ultimate Rock, Punk & Metal Destination 115+ Bands • 4 Unforgettable Days • Fans From Every Corner of the Globe
Danny Wimmer Presents’ record-breaking 2025 festival season concluded October 2–5 with the largest Aftershock in history — drawing over 164,000 fans from all 50 states and more than 30 countries to Sacramento’s Discovery Park, generating an estimated $35 million in local economic impact.
The West Coast’s biggest rock, punk, and metal festival reached new heights in 2025.
Debuting in 2025, Aftershock introduced several new fan-favorite experiences that elevated the festival weekend to new heights. The Capitol Club offered an all-inclusive oasis with premium amenities and elevated views of the main stage, while Tremors Dive Bar kept the energy high with a pop-up set by DJ Rock Feed with surprise guests My Darkest Days, and a special Sunday takeover by Sacramento’s own The Jungle Bird. Fans also discovered spontaneous performances at Beatbox and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it speakeasy hidden beneath the underpass — each adding to the sense of discovery and excitement that defined this year’s festival.
To celebrate DWP’s cultural and economic impact to the region, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Senator Angelique Ashby, and Assemblymember Maggy Krell honored Danny Wimmer Presents with official recognitions from the City of Sacramento, the California State Senate, and the California State Assembly. The proclamation and resolutions celebrate Aftershock’s decade-long legacy, recognizing its profound cultural, economic, and charitable contributions to the Sacramento community and beyond, and highlighting how the festival has firmly established the city as a premier destination for live music in California.
The 2026 dates for Aftershock will be announced in the coming months along with early bird tickets, allowing fans to lock-in lower level pricing and maximum payment plan options. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the festival’s official social media channels and AftershockFestival.com.
In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Aftershock featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Animal Place, Astral Tequila, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft, Body Art Express, California Army National Guard, Coors Light, Don Julio, Eargasm, Freak On a Leash, Fxck Cancer, Golden State Cider, Hyatt Vacation Club, Jack Daniel's, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Little Rocker Clothing, Mortus Viventi, Nowhere Fast, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Sierra Nevada, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Pretty Cult, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, and Waterloo Sparkling Water.
Aftershock is proud to partner with Visit Sacramento and is produced by Los Angeles-based Danny Wimmer Presents, one of the largest independent producers of destination music festivals in America.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hy you lunt, Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Why crazy young.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four
C Y Radio And I'm here with Flu.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I'm Flu the singer from Lendmarks, and I'm Nico the guitar.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Player Nice here at after Shock. Have you guys played
after Shock before?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is it's your first first time ever?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
What do you think of it so far?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That was insane? We loved it. Actually, we didn't expect
that much people to come see us. That was fucked.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That was a crazy thing about the Danny Webber festivals,
Like it doesn't matter what time of day, Yeah, who
the band is, people are gonna show up. And I'm
sure you made a lot of new fans today for sure.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh definitely, definitely. We know is that most of the
people here weren't into our band, like they were just
discovering us today's And that's crazy because they stayed the
whole set. Nice seems like they enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
How does that make you, guys feel when you're seeing
that and like people that have never seen you before
and they're just there for the whole thing, Because not
even when you like bands, sometimes you're going from set
to set.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I mean it's the best, like does and that's the
main point of the festival, forming like us, just.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Seeing us making us proud, like playing in front of
new people, and like, if you can reach more people
with your music, that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And so where did this journey start for both of
you when you knew music was what you needed to
do m music in general?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah, oh well it starts when I was I don't know,
like seven eight, with discovering bands like Oasis, Iron Maiden,
So yeah, like it started really yeah, I was young.
I think it's the same for you, Flow, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I mean at some point, I think the click was
when we started playing guitar, both of us, Like when
we started really getting into guitar and playing playing guitar,
learn reefs, learning the riffs, and just figuring out how
to play the songs we were in love with. I
(02:32):
remember playing like eight hours a day. So that's that's what.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It takes too, man.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, Like I played guitar, but I sucked because I
didn't I didn't practice for eight hours a day and
I got bored with doing scales and shit like that.
Like I just want to get up there fucking rock,
But you gotta.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Put the work in man, true, true, And I remember
it wasn't like I never get bored of it. I
was like, it's just it. It held fun every time
playing guitar. So that's probably I'm talking about myself, but
I know Nico is the same. For Nico, that's probably
when we realized that music wasn't really important in a
(03:12):
life and I was on main focus. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I remember like playing playing the guitar alone in my
room and like pretending I was like in a huge
festival and like shout out to the crowd, like it
was like nobody, so.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I you did it for real.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I did it for real. So yeah, life's complete, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Man, So what prompted you to pick the guitar.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It's the same for both of us. Like our father
was playing the guitar, so it was easier. Like I
had the guitar like in the house so at home,
so that was like the easiest I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think like seeing the videos with people playing the guitar,
like the electric guitar. Because my father is playing like
the like ecoc guitar, it was easy like to tell
(03:55):
him like hey, I want to do the guitar. But
I want to electric guitar. It was like soped like, yeah, okay,
I'm gonna bring you to the cash store like I
don't know like the name of the shop, and it
was like, I'm going to buy you one, like a
really cheap one.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So it was like proud. So our fathers definitely.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
See that's so important because how many people like their
parents are like that's just a dream, get a real job.
So that's great to hear, especially if you do something
different because maybe your father would why do you play
acoustic instaying like, oh, you don't want exactly.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Like it helps definitely, like having like parents being like
I mean my father being like a musician.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, and like.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
You have a kid who's having interest in like doing music,
because I have a sister. She's not into music at all.
She's older than me. So he was like, okay, it's
not bad. But when I was like really into it, it
was like okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I'm down. And it did it well, I.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Guess obviously because you guys killed it here.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
So what's next for you guys?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Like, now, how do you top this.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Next? We need to come back and do it a
bigger stage.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Right there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Maybe we are currently on tour. We're doing our first
headline tour in the US. It's been two weeks already,
we have like two weeks left. So this is like
already a huge step for us, like headlining in the US,
it's our first time in here. Then we have a
headline tour in Europe in December. We are supporting architects
in January, and like we have like tours coming and yeah,
(05:32):
this and then we have to write music again.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So yeah, it's classic, classic, classic rucin in frontier.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And so how would you compare the Danny Wimmer festivals
to like the European festivals like hell fest or because
the US has never really been known for festivals and
sure we.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are true exactly exact. It actually feels a lot. Would
you say comparable, No, I don't know where the comparable
to the to the European festival looks the same, like
the the the the I don't know. I don't know.
It's our first festival run. Like we did two festival
this year in the US and it's the first time
(06:20):
we play US festival, so we don't know how it
was before. But this year for a first time. It
looks very familiar. Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So if we have to compare what I would love
to have in the US, it's like a tour of
festivals like we used to have that in Europe, Like
we have like a full months tour of only festivals.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
If it could be the same in the US, Like, yeah,
there's so many festivals that we can do a whole
tour the whole summer just doing festivals in Europe and
that will be actually pretty sick to do the exact
same thing in the US. It's like a summer camp.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Everybody you're Chile and you're seeing like bandmates and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So I mean it used to be one the Warp tour.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah yeah, and they'll bring it back.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
They bring It's only a few this year, but we'll
see what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
But I think that's what Danny Wimmer is doing too,
because he's got multiple festivals and he really like, well,
you tell me, how do you feel he treats you
as an artist.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Today? For example, Oh yeah, oh very great, very great,
good food, very good backstage area. We're currently in the
VIP media press area, which and it looks and it
looks very good and it's chill. You got pizzas Margarita's Yeah,
oh good. I know.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
This is see what I heard.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Somebody told me they Wimmer went to hell Fest like
attended to look at why everybody thinks European festivals.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, all right, yeah, I mean health Fest is
a real example of how to do a festival in
a good way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Go with hell Fest like they honed the land. Yeah,
so they all building stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I try to.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So it's really impressive when you are on the side
and that's you're like Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it's really right. And also everything is everything
is perfectly like the the I don't know the words,
but like between two stages, between the buckstage area, everything
is smooth. Everything as well, how'd you say, think thing organized?
Things organized?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know what I like about hell Faster is you
got okay, you got the two main stages, but then
you have like the black metal stage, the death metal stage.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I love the hard Yeah stage exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
If you're into this, you don't have to be going
back and forth.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I agree. I agree, it's insane. Yeah, and it's great.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
For the band because you have a constant crowd in Eric.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh yeah, it's your people so exactly. It's seek to
have stages dedicated to a general music. That's a fucking
great idea, right.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And the first time I covered hell feste my mind
when it got dark and then everything's up fire everything,
like I'm like, oh I am in hell Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
They're walking like on the visuals and stuff. It's very
impressively by night definitely.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I've also heard, like talking to interviewing bands over there,
everyone said that like their sound check.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Was like perfect in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, like everything runs so smoothly, and that's why here
over here too.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
With that, and there was like so many people working
on the festival, like I don't know how to say benivol,
but like the people who are working for free, working
for free, yeah yeah, yeah, there's maybe a thousand, and
every year is getting more and more, so everybody's getting
really involved in that festival.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We're so proud to have such a huge festival in
France because Friends is not really known for the rock
and the metal music in general, so it feels insane
that we have one of the best festival metal festival
in the world and it's not in Paris and it's not.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, well that's what cracks me up that you're saying,
you know, about not really having metal presence, And I
go there and cliffs on and like I'm like, I've
never seen this main metal heads in one place type
of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I think it's bigger than Vaking.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Now it might be fucking might be bigger in terms
of people actually come in, but I mean it competes.
So it's just it's just insane to have this in France.
That's crazy as French I can tell you. That's fucking
not to have to have this opportunity to have this festival. Yeah,
so it's great.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
It feels it and like not compering like the festivals
in Europe, but it's great like to see something different, right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, we love it and the lineup is actually crazy,
right yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So so so tell everybody how they reach out to
you on socials on the web by your merch because
it's you get to do more festivals because you need
to gas money to get true and just anything.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You got coming up you want them to know about.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
So yeah, like we are currently on tour in the US,
so like if you have the chance to grab a chicken,
go on no website, lendmarks dot com, grub a shirt
grab like, listen to us on like Spotify, Apple Music.
These are whatever you want, YouTube whatever, like go to
everybody's concert like go see like Bends in general, not
(11:30):
only us. Go to your closest venue and support the Bends.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I love that attitude because that is these festivals, in
my opinions, how you find your new favorite bands exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like I do them all the time, and I still
like whoa.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I mean, it's great to see like the well known bands,
but it's great also like to discover bands, and festivals
are here for that.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah yeah, the right place to discover bands, no doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, I'm glad you were here it after shot, thank
you and killed it here.

headline tour in Europe in December. We are supporting architects
in January, and like we have like tours coming and yeah,
(05:32):
this and then we have to write music again.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So yeah, it's classic, classic, classic rucin in frontier.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And so how would you compare the Danny Wimmer festivals
to like the European festivals like hell fest or because
the US has never really been known for festivals and
sure we.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are true exactly exact. It actually feels a lot. Would
you say comparable, No, I don't know where the comparable
to the to the European festival looks the same, like
the the the the I don't know. I don't know.
It's our first festival run. Like we did two festival
this year in the US and it's the first time
(06:20):
we play US festival, so we don't know how it
was before. But this year for a first time. It
looks very familiar. Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So if we have to compare what I would love
to have in the US, it's like a tour of
festivals like we used to have that in Europe, Like
we have like a full months tour of only festivals.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
If it could be the same in the US, Like, yeah,
there's so many festivals that we can do a whole
tour the whole summer just doing festivals in Europe and
that will be actually pretty sick to do the exact
same thing in the US. It's like a summer camp.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Everybody you're Chile and you're seeing like bandmates and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So I mean it used to be one the Warp tour.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah yeah, and they'll bring it back.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
They bring It's only a few this year, but we'll
see what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
But I think that's what Danny Wimmer is doing too,
because he's got multiple festivals and he really like, well,
you tell me, how do you feel he treats you
as an artist.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Today? For example, Oh yeah, oh very great, very great,
good food, very good backstage area. We're currently in the
VIP media press area, which and it looks and it
looks very good and it's chill. You got pizzas Margarita's Yeah,
oh good. I know.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
This is see what I heard.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Somebody told me they Wimmer went to hell Fest like
attended to look at why everybody thinks European festivals.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, all right, yeah, I mean health Fest is
a real example of how to do a festival in
a good way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Go with hell Fest like they honed the land. Yeah,
so they all building stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I try to.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So it's really impressive when you are on the side
and that's you're like Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it's really right. And also everything is everything
is perfectly like the the I don't know the words,
but like between two stages, between the buckstage area, everything
is smooth. Everything as well, how'd you say, think thing organized?
Things organized?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know what I like about hell Faster is you
got okay, you got the two main stages, but then
you have like the black metal stage, the death metal stage.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I love the hard Yeah stage exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
If you're into this, you don't have to be going
back and forth.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I agree. I agree, it's insane. Yeah, and it's great.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
For the band because you have a constant crowd in Eric.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh yeah, it's your people so exactly. It's seek to
have stages dedicated to a general music. That's a fucking
great idea, right.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And the first time I covered hell feste my mind
when it got dark and then everything's up fire everything,
like I'm like, oh I am in hell Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
They're walking like on the visuals and stuff. It's very
impressively by night definitely.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I've also heard, like talking to interviewing bands over there,
everyone said that like their sound check.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Was like perfect in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, like everything runs so smoothly, and that's why here
over here too.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
With that, and there was like so many people working
on the festival, like I don't know how to say benivol,
but like the people who are working for free, working
for free, yeah yeah, yeah, there's maybe a thousand, and
every year is getting more and more, so everybody's getting
really involved in that festival.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We're so proud to have such a huge festival in
France because Friends is not really known for the rock
and the metal music in general, so it feels insane
that we have one of the best festival metal festival
in the world and it's not in Paris and it's not.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, well that's what cracks me up that you're saying,
you know, about not really having metal presence, And I
go there and cliffs on and like I'm like, I've
never seen this main metal heads in one place type
of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I think it's bigger than Vaking.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Now it might be fucking might be bigger in terms
of people actually come in, but I mean it competes.
So it's just it's just insane to have this in France.
That's crazy as French I can tell you. That's fucking
not to have to have this opportunity to have this festival. Yeah,
so it's great.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
It feels it and like not compering like the festivals
in Europe, but it's great like to see something different, right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, we love it and the lineup is actually crazy,
right yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So so so tell everybody how they reach out to
you on socials on the web by your merch because
it's you get to do more festivals because you need
to gas money to get true and just anything.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You got coming up you want them to know about.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
So yeah, like we are currently on tour in the US,
so like if you have the chance to grab a chicken,
go on no website, lendmarks dot com, grub a shirt
grab like, listen to us on like Spotify, Apple Music.
These are whatever you want, YouTube whatever, like go to
everybody's concert like go see like Bends in general, not
(11:30):
only us. Go to your closest venue and support the Bends.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I love that attitude because that is these festivals, in
my opinions, how you find your new favorite bands exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like I do them all the time, and I still
like whoa.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I mean, it's great to see like the well known bands,
but it's great also like to discover bands, and festivals
are here for that.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah yeah, the right place to discover bands, no doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, I'm glad you were here it after shot, thank
you and killed it here.
