Aftershock has announced the 2026 lineup, and I can, in fact, confirm I will never financially recover from this festival season’s stacked lineups.
Aftershock is a hard rock festival that takes place in Sacramento, Calif., Oct. 1-4. Headliners this year include My Chemical Romance, who have been celebrating 20 years of their record The Black Parade on tour since 2025, Limp Bizkit, Pierce The Veil fresh off the biggest tour of their career, and Tool.
Other notable acts include The Offspring, A Day To Remember, The Pretty Reckless, AFI and Danny Elfman, who I am personally most excited to see.
Aftershock tickets are currently on sale, and offer layaway plans starting at $1 down (my wallet is already crying) and they will be selling General Admission, VIP and Capital Club passes which includes a private elevated mainstage viewing platform, in an air conditioned lounge, and a ton of other perks. There are also student tickets, and for the very first time, RV + Car and Tent camping.
Festival season is so stacked this year, let us know which festivals you’re heading to this year!
