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.

And that's your schools, with your churches, what's your institutional
living facilities?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I remember there it is? So who else would you
say or your guys inspiration to become musicians as far
as bands?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
For me, originally as a guitar player. I didn't become
a singer until later on in life. But I was
inspired by Randy Rhoades and slashes God slashes, God slashes God.
As far as singers, I would have to put Lane
Saley at the top of my list, with a Fillinselmo
in there, and a little bit of Max Cavalira and
a little fucking Chino Moreno dabbled in there.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So that's me.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
That's a lot. Hey, you know, how do you keep
all those personalities going?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm an inspirational horror.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I love it. See I called myself a publicity horror.
So now I'm gonna give you horror. Or if you publicity,
give you publicity?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, where does the badge of honor?
Speaker 6 (02:38):

Speaker 5 (02:38):
We?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So I'm a.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Hua And how about how about you me.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
When I first started, it was like, yeah, who Cliff Burton,
Rex Vote the fillinglo stuff like that. Man was more
off Brian Wilson and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And Paul McCartney, Oh bye way. I saw Randy Rhodes
live nice right before he died. Ozzie played a New
Year's Eve show and here was here. It's a trippy story, man.
I told my dad I was sleeping over my bro's house.
My bro told his parentcy's sleeping over my house. And
(03:19):
then we went to go see Ozzy. And then at
after we went. I lived in Lake Lindero and Agra
and it was a hill down in the lake and
we just hung out there till we could go home
in the in the morning and my next door neighbor,
the wife comes out and she goes, hey, boys, what
you just said to Ozzie show? Because we had all
the Ozzie schwag on and we're like, fuck, we're busting.
(03:43):
She goes, hold on, I'm getting my husband and we're like, uh, oh,
husband brings us up the house. My next door neighbor
never knew go in this room. It's his studio with
wall the wall cassette tapes. Turns out's Assie's fucking from
Oh that's awesome. Oh yeah, and he gives you this tape.
(04:04):
He says it's bans line to the US, yet they'll
be here in six months and here you go. And
that tape had the song fast as a Shark on it.
It was accept before they ever got to the States.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So that's why Randy Road story.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, you were older enough.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah, I went to high school with Randy Roads.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh you were in the school orchestra with them, right, yeah,
that's right. Now.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I think all of us had the same kind of
influences with Slayer, Pantera. Unfortunately, Metallica the first four records
are awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You want to know why I laughed. I went to
first Metallica show ever, and when they came out with
the Black album, me and the other twenty four hardcore
fans from the beginning were like, fucking poser setouts.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
That's where I was, and they haven't been good since.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How about Slayers the best, the Kings fucking Slay, Yeah,
but Alison chains that kind of ship.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
So yeah, pretty much the same, but also like a
lot of old school new York hardcore like like like
Promags and yeah, and like Rum Suckers. Yeah, I like
like Judge is probably one of my all time favorite bands.
And then bands like Gorilla Biscuits, Oh yeah, Bold like
(05:31):
all those old hardcore bands. And then I'd say Rocky
George from Suicidal.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, he is a badass.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So Prong they were like.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
A big influence early on too, and they're here.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Beck to Differ is one of my all time favorite albums,
so way ahead of its time.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You guys are speaking my language, all of you. I
could tell. I could tell, but we were just talking
about Nirvana the whole last interview.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
That's I mean, that's one of them.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's go what beatles?
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Of course I love the beat Smashing Pumpkins, my Bloody Valentine,
like a bunch of nineties.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I love nineties. See. It's good though, because you guys
sprinkles little of this and a little of that to
make a real unique sound. Especially nowadays, there's so many
bands that like use this formula to make music, and
it can only be this way. I'd rather bands like
you to have all these influences, just throw them all in.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
The pot oasis. Sorry, naming them.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
How you like my eighties battle vests?

like Welcome Rockvieller Ending the Wimmer festivals where bands like
you guys are bringing in one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
We did that single handling, by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:43):

tour bus with you?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I think it would be fucking awesome, right, we would
finally not be the messy ones. Is probably even cleaner
than us to clean up after themselves. Yeah so, but
but that would be cool.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But what they would rub their three penises on you?

first Metallica show ever, and when they came out with
the Black album, me and the other twenty four hardcore
fans from the beginning were like, fucking poser setouts.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
That's where I was, and they haven't been good since.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How about Slayers the best, the Kings fucking Slay, Yeah,
but Alison chains that kind of ship.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
So yeah, pretty much the same, but also like a
lot of old school new York hardcore like like like
Promags and yeah, and like Rum Suckers. Yeah, I like
like Judge is probably one of my all time favorite bands.
And then bands like Gorilla Biscuits, Oh yeah, Bold like
(05:31):
all those old hardcore bands. And then I'd say Rocky
George from Suicidal.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, he is a badass.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So Prong they were like.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
A big influence early on too, and they're here.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Beck to Differ is one of my all time favorite albums,
so way ahead of its time.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You guys are speaking my language, all of you. I
could tell. I could tell, but we were just talking
about Nirvana the whole last interview.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
That's I mean, that's one of them.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's go what beatles?
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Of course I love the beat Smashing Pumpkins, my Bloody Valentine,
like a bunch of nineties.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I love nineties. See. It's good though, because you guys
sprinkles little of this and a little of that to
make a real unique sound. Especially nowadays, there's so many
bands that like use this formula to make music, and
it can only be this way. I'd rather bands like
you to have all these influences, just throw them all in.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
The pot oasis. Sorry, naming them.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):

Speaker 6 (09:41):
We did that single handling, by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:43):

Filth. Yeah, well, it sounds like there are some stories
in those bunks.

have something to do with Gar.

With what with Gar?
Speaker 1 (11:08):

No, no, no, not yet.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I mean, what would you do if Gar shared the
tour bus with you?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I think it would be fucking awesome, right, we would
finally not be the messy ones. Is probably even cleaner
than us to clean up after themselves. Yeah so, but
but that would be cool.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But what they would rub their three penises on you?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Well, dude, that's half the guys in this band. That's
their biggest dream.

See there you go, So you have now reached a dream.
You're here it after shock, you're playing that Welcome to Rockville,
and Gar is going to join you on tour just
to be in the tour bus and you don't get

everyone exactly.
