Aftershock promised its biggest lineup yet and the fan-favorite event delivered with four nonstop days at Sacramento’s Discovery Park over October 10-13. The 12th edition of the annual festival welcomed 160,000 music fans from all 50 states and 30 countries around the world, retaining its title as the West Coast’s largest rock festival and bringing an estimated $30 million economic impact to California’s capital city.
