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.

7
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:37.039

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:37.840
They swirl on our head?

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:37.960
Too?

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.039
No, we were here, we just realized twenty nineteen, so

11
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:41.920
six years ago.

12
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.399
Wow. Yeah that was pre COVID, before COVID.

13
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.079
Yeah, we thought we were gonna be playing a bunch

14
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:48.880
of more shows and then I know, right, and we

15
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:49.679
didn't know what hit us.

16
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.159
So yeah, I'll look all of us. I think though,

17
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.520
one if you're gonna pick one good thing that happened

18
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.600
at Lockdown, as it gave artists a chance to like

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.119
kind of jump off the hamster wheel and create and

20
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.920
kind of maybe even reevaluate because you're so busy, like

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.680
you only didn't stop to think of how you want

22
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.959
to be as a band at that point in time.

23
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.439
Jump off the hamsterre. I like that term. That's exactly

24
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.920
how it was, kind of right, sure was so tell

25
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.359
us about I love your new album that dropped in March.

26
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.879
I already found two songs that I think are like anthems.

27
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.000
Nice which songs. Okay, so you got fuck them all.

28
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.439
That's a total anthem for twenty twenty five for sure.

29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.280
Okay, yeah, we like it a good point there, Yes,

30
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.840
you're right, right right.

31
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.719
And then the other one was going places the new video.

32
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.959
It just came out our first single, and yeah, we

33
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:48.599
love that song.

34
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.680
Well, here's why I loved I wanted to get right.

35
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.079
So it's the first time ever I put eight notes,

36
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.040
tell my boss go jump in the lake, tell my

37
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.799
boss get the fuck out of my place. I'm like,

38
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.560
that's another there, that's another twenty twenty five and there

39
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:04.680
you go.

40
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.359
Yeah, exactly, yeahs real life, you know what I mean.

41
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:08.960
Yeah, totally, we've been there.

42
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.240
We don't want to go to work.

43
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.319
We back when you if maybe you have ex's or

44
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.680
relationship I any right, work, relationships, money, you know all

45
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.680
that stuff, and just you just want to you want

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.360
to do what you want to do.

47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.439
Ye, And that's like the whole reason we started music.

48
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.639
We just wanted to go.

49
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.599
Places like whether that's physically like doing that or just metaphorically. Yeah,

50
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.960
you don't want to you don't do with that other

51
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.039
other crap. So that's we just had fun with it.

52
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.560
And as an artist, you should be saying fuck everybody

53
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.800
because you should be your own creative person. Like I'm

54
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.800
a big believer, let the artist be the creative. Everybody

55
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.719
else in the business can do their job, but don't

56
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.360
tell the artists how to create their music. Amen.

57
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.719
And that's what we did with that song and some

58
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.759
others certainly fuck them on. That was a fun one. Yeah, yeah,

59
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.120
right on pretty much means exactly what the title is.

60
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.879
So and it does sound like one of those anthem

61
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.199
songs like forget the words for a second, just the

62
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.719
music itself.

63
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.360
It has that vibe man.

64
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.479
Yeah, yeah, in a minute, I heard it, like in

65
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.599
the first ten seconds.

66
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.439
I'm like, when you get little kids chanting it too,

67
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.879
that's always fun, all right, So that's fun.

68
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.439
How about your kids? Did they chant it? Maybe? You

69
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.080
know what's it you? Yeah?

70
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.080
My daughter is almost four now, but she when the

71
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.919
album came out or even before, like we had that

72
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.080
as a demo years ago and a couple of years ago,

73
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:29.759
and she would sing it.

74
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.520
She was like two years old and saying fun. We

75
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.919
had to like say she literally would say, funk, I'm

76
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.400
doing what I want to. Fuck, We're like like, can't. Yeah,

77
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.639
it was pretty funny. Well that's kind of like when

78
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.560
my kids were kids and Nirvana came out with rape me.

79
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.199
Oh yeah, yeah. My kids were singing it, but they

80
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.479
thought I said rave me, and I let them believe

81
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.039
that that's a good right, Like, yeah, like word to

82
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.840
go in place of that. That's I guess, right, Zach

83
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.439
rave me. Yeah, they didn't know, so it was except

84
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.479
but it is. Have you seen like on socials the

85
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.960
funny videos of the kids saying curse words like little

86
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.319
babies and todd So that's what I was imagining when

87
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.120
you were talking about that. Yeah, I was like, you

88
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.800
should have created a TikTok of that. Yeah, I know, right. Yeah.

89
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.720
Our producer at the time it was his kids, who's

90
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.839
two kids and they write it was two of them.

91
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.120
Yeah, a friend so and then he was kind of like, oh,

92
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.639
do you guys want to come do something real quick?

93
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.399
Coming in here, and then he was like, okay, so

94
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.279
this is the only time that you can use this word,

95
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.040
but can you sing this? And so he had him

96
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.079
sing it, but then had to precurse it with like

97
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.879
don't say this outside of this is the right time.

98
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.800
But yeah, it worked out really well.

99
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.399
Yeah, I want to know if it really worked out

100
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.519
well them not saying it any other time, it's like, yeah,

101
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.040
we don't know. It's like now I have permission, Like

102
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.839
they don't hear it, not only here, it's like I

103
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.879
have permission. Yea. So do you feel after Shocked the

104
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.040
vibe here has changed since you last played here?

105
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.319
I don't think so. I think it's pretty rocking, just

106
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:09.120
as much as Zepa.

107
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.360
It seems like so you know, I mean, Danny Wember

108
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.240
puts on the best festivals there are, so and we

109
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.079
came from an era to where we started playing like

110
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.800
where it was just like Rock on the Range back

111
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.720
in the day was the only one and now there's

112
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.480
like five of them or whatever now and so all

113
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.879
over the country. So we're just lucky enough to be

114
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.959
able to play them all by now in a couple

115
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.800
of times, I guess, and we're just stoked.

116
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.240
Yeah, it's great. And since you brought up Wimmer, I

117
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.240
want to find out how he treats you as an arse.

118
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:35.360
I ask every artists.

119
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.959
I'm sure they all have the same answer. He treats

120
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.720
everyone with respect and just amazingly.

121
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.399
Yeah, I don't know, yes, Sam, just we're back at

122
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.120
another festival.

123
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.519
So that's all you need to know.

124
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.959
I guess we didn't mess up too bad, I know, right.

125
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.160
So you have a new part of it.

126
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.279
He put everything on like on a world class level, really,

127
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:54.920
you know, because before it was not that it was

128
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.319
bad or anything, but it's just like there's world class

129
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.199
festivals in America now, which we didn't have for a

130
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.439
long time, you know, and we we had those in Europe,

131
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.399
and every band you would talk to you would be like, Oh,

132
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.680
in Europe they have all these festivals, And now there's

133
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.439
these festivals in America and they're on par with everything

134
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:08.839
in the world.

135
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.720
So it's amazing. Well it's interesting too. You brought up

136
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.000
Europe because as I go and do those festivals there,

137
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.160
but I found out somebody told me Whimmer went to

138
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.759
hell Fest to use that as a model. That makes sense, Yeah, like,

139
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.920
and that's a great fest to do that way.

140
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.720
Yeah, we haven't done that one, but we've heard a

141
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:26.199
lot of stories.

142
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.800
Oh my god, it's you guys have to do it.

143
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.959
I'm playing it out there right now. I'm like telling

144
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.160
the promoters of hellfests. They need to do it there.

145
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.040
It is. It is a badass festival. But you know

146
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.759
what's wild is that's why Danny Tracy are so well

147
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.480
because the same thing there, Like I was talking to

148
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.439
our sound checks like five minutes and it's perfect. You know,

149
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.800
there's no stress and load in is like no problem,

150
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.399
and that it's not one band ever goes off late,

151
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.759
like that year that after COVID which three hundred and

152
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.680
sixty bands, not one went off late.

153
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.439
It's a different level. It's just a pro level all around, right,

154
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:02.959
It's great.

155
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.279
Yeah, and we have really easy getting in today. Everything

156
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.480
was just smooth, a lot of people to help wherever

157
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.680
we needed to go. I mean sounds simple enough, but

158
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.319
there's a lot of pieces.

159
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
Here and when you got it, you gotta get that mastered.

160
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.279
So and it's so important for the artists because there's

161
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:22.560
nothing worse than having stress with load in, stress with

162
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.680
sound check or things that happen on stage, like it

163
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.439
kind of kills the zone to perform at your peak.

164
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.079
Definitely, Yeah, exactly. There's so many little things that can

165
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.439
go wrong and if a few of those, if too

166
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.000
many of those go wrong, as us to sort of

167
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.480
like skew the day, but you're right, like for that reason,

168
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.920
everything is organized, like everything that you could think of

169
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.800
has already been thought of. So it definitely makes things

170
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.800
a lot easier for sure.

171
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.759
And we have free pizza back here later too, so

172
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.800
you're gonna have to stick around. I'll be here for sure. Right.

173
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.399
It's really good too. And I'm from New York in

174
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.759
New Jersey, so I'm pizza not nice. Okay, well that

175
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.839
must be good. It's really good. And then of course

176
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.639
you got to drip bar as like a line to

177
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.240
Australia like every day really Yeah. The coffee bar is

178
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.120
that is coffee juices, teas smooth. Yeah, we don't have

179
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.439
to get it. They even have health shots, like you

180
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.560
know the shots you get at Let's go do that.

181
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.560
Oh yeah, like I had to wait like an hour

182
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:31.160
went first open, Like it's just ridiculous. Yeah, So just

183
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.000
another example of Danny Wimmer going above and beyond to

184
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.200
take care of everybody.

185
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.200
Speaking of that, as a woman, the bathroom situation is

186
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.360
a pretty important and also to the bathrooms here are

187
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.919
amazing clean and nice and so as a woman, very

188
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:48.799
much appreciated.

189
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.840
Seen how since I've never seen the women's one obviously,

190
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.159
but I do know, especially having three daughters, how important

191
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.399
that is and how disgusting it could be has been.

192
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.879
In outher situations, especially touring too around the world. I

193
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.919
mean we've seen some pretty gnally bathrooms, I'm sure.

194
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.279
I mean it goes back to the Wimmer thing with

195
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.360
the being on world class level, Like that's one thing

196
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.279
you don't really think about as bathrooms, but it's actually

197
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.559
a huge thing for the artists. So like people don't

198
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.000
and people that are in festival goers everyone, so right,

199
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.200
and a nice bathroom is like on tour especially, it's like, right,

200
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.159
the nicest.

201
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.240
Thing ever because sometimes that's the only like that, like

202
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.080
when you brush your teeth and like you know what

203
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.000
I mean, Like you're traveling and you're like, oh, I

204
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.799
need to get wash my face and whatnot.

205
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.639
So it's yeah, there's showers here, which never happened the festival.

206
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.600
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, see that's pretty cool because like,

207
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.159
especially when it gets hot like here and you're performing,

208
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.879
it'd be nice to be able to take a shower

209
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.320
that's not on the tour bus or some shit like that.

210
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:45.799
You know.

211
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.279
Yeah, it's never even on the tour bus.

212
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.320
It's sometimes you're lucky if it's at the venue, but

213
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.120
when it's at an outdoor festival, that's very rare.

214
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.799
So it's nice, totally rare gym. As you would say,

215
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.200
which is your favorite Wimmer festival so far? Oh?

216
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:06.759
Man, Well, probably louder than Life, I mean after up

217
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.679
there too, But I mean they're all, I mean, they're

218
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:09.279
all pretty great.

219
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:10.759
They're all that quality.

220
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.080
And Life has the best like crowd that people just

221
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.639
there just show up, I mean all of them do.

222
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.200
But there's something different, like in Louisville, there's like feels

223
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.000
like there's like a special vibe there.

224
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.480
I don't know, I think they're kind of like obsessed. No,

225
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.639
Sacramento is a little different area than even most of California, true,

226
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:33.480
but Louville, like how often do they have stuff like that? There? Too?

227
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.080
Is a thing. And how about this year at lard

228
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:41.039
in Life they included the amusement park. If you're intendee,

229
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.360
oh really yeah, I mean like if you're attendee, you

230
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.519
had an amusement park too with your festival. Oh that's awesome.

231
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:52.600
Ye see. Now next time you guys got to perform

232
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.799
from the roller coaster. Yeah, that's that would be a

233
00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.360
first probably cool. Right, So what's going to be coming

234
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.399
out later in twenty twenty six that we should look

235
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.200
out for that he want us to know.

236
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.600
I mean, we're just this festival is probably like we're

237
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.159
winding up the end of the year, so this this

238
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.080
might be one of our last shows, but just probably

239
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.759
hopefully get on some more festivals like this next year.

240
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.159
We'll see.

241
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.399
We're in talks, so I don't know. It's up in

242
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:20.720
the air right now a little bit, but well, we're

243
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:21.720
hopefully coming to come back.

244
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.960
Yeah, And what's your favorite European festival? Since we talked that,

245
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.120
we haven't done a lot. Which ones have we done

246
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.240
with the We haven't done a lot of tour festivals.

247
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.799
Probably we did Never Rocks some years back, and that

248
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.480
was awesome.

249
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.360
I just heard yesterday because that was on my radar.

250
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.080
It's one I wanted to do that haven't done yet.

251
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.360
I just heard yesterday how badass that festival is, so

252
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.159
now I have to build.

253
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.879
The other one was Rock for People in check That

254
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:47.480
was awesome.

255
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.120
Yeah, we just did that one. That's a really good one. Nice. Yeah,

256
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.360
and then the Hurricane that was a cool one. Yeah.

257
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.919
Is there a place you've played in the world that

258
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.480
you didn't get back to be good. Yeah, that was,

259
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.320
or just in general the vibe for you as an artist,

260
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.360
where you liked being at that festival that you didn't expect,

261
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.840
that you would have never thought of.

262
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.159
It wasn't a festival, but we played a well it

263
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.799
kind of wash.

264
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.639
Yes, it didn't have to be.

265
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.200
It was a place in Estonia, Okay, played like an

266
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.679
American car show. But it was also like on the

267
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.759
backdrop of like a castle. It was so memorable.

268
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.279
I'll always remember that was the backdrop was like a yeah,

269
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.360
a castle, and and it was ironic kind of because

270
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.080
it was an American and we're like from a meg

271
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:30.480
Live car.

272
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.759
So it was like for them it was like very exotic,

273
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:33.360
but for us.

274
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.080
It was more like, oh yeah, just like a Ford

275
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.039
like whatever like Mustang Old muscle cars or whatever, and

276
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.000
so it was it was just cool to play in

277
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.039
Estonia in general.

278
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.440
So that was cool. Yeah, that's why I love about incarceration.

279
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.159
You were talking about the castle, like Shawshank Prison. My

280
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.639
daughter show called me all the time. She's like, before

281
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.879
a festival, So are you excited about this festival? I'm like,

282
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.840
I really love it, but I don't know I've been

283
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.039
covering the festival for fifteen years and I'm on one

284
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.320
every weekend, so I don't know if excited as the work.

285
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.639
But then the first time I did inc, I called

286
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.240
her from the prison yard. I'm like, I'm calling you

287
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.440
from Shawshank prison yard. Now I'm excited. It's so cool.

288
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.320
That's like my favorite movie as long as with a

289
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.879
lot of people, it's tell the best movie all the time.

290
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.360
And just to play there and see the prison where

291
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.480
they shot it and everything, like this is so cool.

292
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.759
It is wild. Did you get to do the tour

293
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.720
and the did you do the blood prison? No? We

294
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.159
did a small tour.

295
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.240
We didn't really get a full tour, were we Yeah,

296
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.519
Like we got a small tour of like where the

297
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.879
hole was, Yeah, but like and some of the prison sales,

298
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.399
but not like some of the band's got like full tours.

299
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.879
But if you had time to do it, but we

300
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.039
didn't have time that day. Side. It was fun though,

301
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.960
But it's cool too. There's a new prison right next door,

302
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.600
so while you guys are playing there or any band.

303
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.039
Like an actual like working prison now yeah, yeah, yeah.

304
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.159
It's right. I've seen inmates out in the yard while

305
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.519
the festival's going on. I'm like, man, this is like

306
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:02.120
Johnny Cash. Oh wow, yeah and fulsom I know, right.

307
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.440
Anything else you want to tell listeners we haven't covered

308
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.840
already and tell them your socials and where they can

309
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:09.840
get your merch and all that.
