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.

W four c Y Radio, and I'm.

4

Here with Clifforgano dry Kill Logic.

5
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.359
Nice here at Aftershock. Guess sir, oh man, you're making

6
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.719
the rounds and the Danny Wimmer festivals. Man, that's so cool.

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:35.679
We're just so grateful to be a part of all this.

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.119
We've been a we played this one, played Rockville, we

9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.280
played Incarceration, and each one is just a masterclass in

10
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:42.880
live events.

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:43.679
So we're just stoked.

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.280
And they're all so different too, like the vibe, it's different.

13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.759
I love Ink because it's at Shawshank Prison. That's like

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:51.640
kind of insane.

15
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:51.960
Yep.

16
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.560
One year I was there. I was taking pictures. Exeth

17
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.920
the artis was taking pictures and he's like, hey, can

18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.520
you take my picture? I'll take yours. Look at us.

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.039
We're fanboying out on Shawshank Prison.

20
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.400
And seriously, and and to put it at incits in

21
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.159
a prison at rock Villa, it's in the infield of

22
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:14.599
racist It's like like that's real experience for folks, and

23
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.120
they've just got it so well mapped out that it's

24
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.280
like it's just wild to be a part of.

25
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.480
Well. I love hearing after Shock. It has all the trees,

26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.719
the vibe like I've watched in previous years where people

27
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.840
are like sitting in the trees watching it.

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.200
No shit, really, that's pretty awesome, right, Yeah, that's super cool.

29
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.200
So it's been like twenty years since you played Cali.

30
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.079
Yeah, wild right, twenty years man, since two since two

31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.359
thousand and six. We were touring on the second record

32
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.920
and we came off the road actually two thousand and five,

33
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.400
as a matter of fact, in two thousand and six,

34
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.480
we came off the road in the US wrote a

35
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.879
Vengeance and Violence, and then we toured twice in Europe

36
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.439
and once in Australia. We never toured again in the

37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.280
US after we came off the road for the Dead

38
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.200
and Dreaming. By two thousand and seven, we were kind

39
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.959
of on high. So it's like we've only been here

40
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.680
on the second album for the first two So, like

41
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.360
it's crazy now twenty years later to come back and everybody's.

42
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.080
Much more familiar with the music than they were the

43
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.479
first time.

44
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.759
I was kind of weird too, right, Like I see

45
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.000
a trend to that happening, like acid Bath, first time

46
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.080
in twenty eight years, and like most of the people

47
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.639
that are into them aren't even from twenty eight years.

48
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.520
Again, well that's the other part too, it's not necessarily

49
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.680
people just coming back after twenty years.

50
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.879
There's the audience is so varied. It's awesome.

51
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.439
It's just a wild witness because you definitely see folks

52
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.479
who were there in the beginning, and then you see

53
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.159
folks who clearly of the age where they couldn't have been,

54
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.439
and it's just.

55
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.560
So cool to see them all in the same crowd.

56
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.479
So yeah, and you know what I think's cool is

57
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.199
you go back to like the eighties. I would have

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.080
never as a teenager gone to see people my age

59
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.520
and the band right, and certainly my dad was never

60
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.719
going to take me to a metal show or any

61
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:07.680
kind of rock shroo. But yet today you see parents, grandparents, kids,

62
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.960
like every generation showing up at festivals like this. I

63
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.439
think it's fucking cool.

64
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.680
It's really cool. And I noticed this. We're back.

65
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.400
We start playing again and now we rehearse, so we're

66
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.800
in reversal studios and we go to local bars to

67
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.599
watch other bands, like and it's really interesting because like

68
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.080
you come here and you see the bands perform and

69
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.560
you look in the audience and you see an audience

70
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.439
it's like totally resonating with the band of all ages.

71
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.360
But then like now for us, we're in the studios

72
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.120
and the bars, and we see the audience in their

73
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.319
own bands playing and kind of emulating what they see,

74
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.840
and like you see, you're like, oh you love metal,

75
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.599
and like you go to the shows and you're in

76
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.560
your own band and you write your own songs and

77
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.560
you stand on that stage and you fucking live it

78
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.439
the same way you take from the bands that are

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.080
on there. But the part that's most exciting is that

80
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.400
in those small bars and in those studios, the audience

81
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.199
for those local bands are they're little brothers and little sisters,

82
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.400
and they look up to them the same way that

83
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:05.719
man looks up to the part.

84
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.719
And if you'd see it, you can see.

85
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.280
This generational connection to your point where when a show

86
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.040
comes to town, dad and your uncles and your kids

87
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.120
all want to go because you all have this communal

88
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.560
appreciation of it. I don't see that very often in

89
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.120
many other genres of music, with like singular artists that way.

90
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.519
Yeah, you can be an argument it happens, but it

91
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.040
doesn't seem as prevalent as it does. That's in metal.

92
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.480
That's why I have this idea, if we want to

93
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.319
solve all the world's problems, we need to have one

94
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.839
music festival for the whole world's required to attend. Because

95
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.639
we're all insiders here and we're all united here. We're

96
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.560
one big family, and we have no problems here. And

97
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.240
I think we could work it all out that.

98
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.000
All your problems could be solved in the pit.

99
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:51.360
There.

100
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.000
It is. That's you an't gonna come out of here

101
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.639
lined exactly one way or the other, are coming out

102
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.040
of here.

103
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.399
Aline, And I think people don't understand that's what the

104
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.240
pit's all about. It's not about being violent. It's about

105
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.839
not about hurting maymon people. It's actually about so you're

106
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.639
not violent, hurt and maymen people on the outside. Yeah,

107
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.160
when I have shit going on in my life, I

108
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:12.839
go leave it all in the pit and then I'm

109
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.920
not kicking the shit out of somebody in real life.

110
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.160
Yeah, it's true. I mean, listen, you produce energy throughout

111
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.480
a day. You gotta let it out somehow otherwise it

112
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.600
just becomes unproductive. And that's where the power of heavy

113
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.720
music really starts to transcend just a genre, or it

114
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.800
starts to change how you think about things. That has

115
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.240
the power to do that. And that's the wild, wildest

116
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:32.720
part of it all.

117
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.000
I think it's amazing. And you guys also have new music, right, Yeah.

118
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.680
We put out a song in May and now you

119
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.680
Belong with the Dad. It's our first single in five

120
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.040
or six years. It was really well received. I think

121
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.920
now the time has come for us to write a record.

122
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:46.399
Nice.

123
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.800
Yeah, so we're gonna this is our last show and

124
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.839
then we commence writing the next albums.

125
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.160
How do you feel the writing process is for you

126
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.959
now compared to twenty years ago.

127
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.519
You know, it's a great question. I think now we

128
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.519
have the benefit of time, Yes, so we can be

129
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.079
thoughtful about do we like this, do we not like this?

130
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.240
If yes, why, if know why, and we can spend

131
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.600
time focusing on the songs and standing in service to

132
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.199
the songs. Where previously it's like you got four months, right,

133
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.319
crack out a record. You know, So you'll go in

134
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.759
and write a bunch of guitar riffs, You'll go in

135
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.319
and write a bunch of drums to them. I'll come

136
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.839
back with some lyrics and some patterns and let's just

137
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.279
go to the studio and you never really do the.

138
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.279
Diligence to be like, have we landed it? Could it

139
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:30.560
be better?

140
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.199
And I always feel like at least I can always

141
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.879
be for me. But like when I'll go back over

142
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.720
time and I'll listen to lyrics, I'll be like, Dad,

143
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.759
I could have been better. Ah, I could have nailed

144
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:39.000
that one.

145
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:39.279
Right.

146
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.399
So but again now, I think having the time and

147
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.480
being able to put in the rigor to that part

148
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.360
is probably the biggest difference between now and then.

149
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.839
But we're all older now too, that right plays and

150
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.439
part well.

151
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.040
And I also think COVID played a part. I've said

152
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.160
for a while that what COVID did for artists has

153
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.959
allowed them to jump off the hamster wheel that you're

154
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.759
talking about. It's like co tour, write songs on the bus,

155
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.399
you have to submit it by a certain time. It's

156
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.079
not really finished, but it has to be. Whereas COVID

157
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.800
allowed ours to stop and think of how they really

158
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.360
wanted their music to sound right truth, And that's what

159
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.519
you're game to do now. And I think and it

160
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.240
is part of being older that is to benefit because

161
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.120
you think a little differently and you take a little

162
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.360
more control of your art.

163
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.079
That's truth. Yeah, you're absolutely right. You said it quite well.

164
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.240
At the end of the day, I think now we're

165
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.399
not necessarily going to out energy our younger selves, right,

166
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.759
And I think that's probably impossible, but I probably we

167
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.519
can spend a little bit more time out thinking our

168
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.639
younger selves and putting that into the rigor of songwriting

169
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:41.319
and performance.

170
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.639
And that's been exciting. When we think about live shows.

171
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.600
Where we think about new music, we never really thought

172
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.839
about it as well, how can we be like the

173
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.199
best performers, right, we just thought about it, get on

174
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.920
the stage and smash. And now it's just a different approach.

175
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.560
I largely because we're so goddamn old. Everything hurts soon.

176
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.120
And maybe that is why kids today are appreciating the

177
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.000
older bands, because like when we were younger, most of

178
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.600
the bands kind of sucked, like especially in like the

179
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.800
punk arena because and bands I love, but it's like,

180
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.240
why do you become a punk musician because you didn't

181
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.399
know how to play an instrument?

182
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.360
Yeah right, right, right? You know, yeah, well listen to

183
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:16.839
that point.

184
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.480
Like we used to laugh because our bible was getting

185
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.319
the van from Henry Rollins and we.

186
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.279
Used to laugh all the time.

187
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.279
We'd just be like fucking Rollins would Rollins would play

188
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.079
the show, Ronins would get in the van, You get

189
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:28.519
in the van.

190
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:28.759
You know.

191
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.399
It's funny because that ethos, to your point, was like

192
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.879
the driving factor. It was the spirit of the thing

193
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.879
that kept you moving. And maybe that's yeah, to your point,

194
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.080
maybe that's part of the appeal of living in a

195
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.159
time when that could be the sole driver of your destiny,

196
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.919
was just getting the fucking.

197
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.600
Van right, right. And then now that you're older, it's

198
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.600
like I've learned how to actually do this.

199
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.440
Yeah, seriously, right, right, right, No, it's true.

200
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.840
You're right, it is anything else you want to let

201
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720
the listeners know that we haven't covered already.

202
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.799
You know, we're gonna start writing this record. I'll tell

203
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.879
you the title, drum roll. Your sins will find you.

204
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.559
They find me all the exactly, man.

205
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.279
Yeah, you can't run from them. We don't have a

206
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.960
release date or anything like that yet. And then we're

207
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.200
gonna be releasing some new tour dates pretty soon. For

208
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.759
twenty twenty six, we're gonna be doing more headline shows.

209
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.879
So we've got some stuff coming up. It's called the

210
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.000
decades of distance tour, and it's gonna be like dates

211
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:24.840
spread out through the US.

212
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.159
Play just again, places we haven't been in twenty years.

213
