Fans can also grab a cold beverage and kick back at Parlor Soda Shop, Topo Chico Cantina, Coors Light Chill Zone and The Desnuda Outpost.
New in 2026, check out Cantina del Diablo, an open-air spot tucked under the trees serving Mexican street fare, tequila and mezcal cocktails, and cold cerveza—hosted by Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. The Aftershock x Jungle Bird Tiki Bar also expands from its one-day 2025 pop-up to the full festival weekend, bringing Sacramento’s favorite tiki bar onsite with curated cocktails in an air-conditioned, island-inspired hideaway. Fans can also catch the biggest regional and national games throughout the weekend at Overtime Sports Bar, just steps from The Point Stage Presented by Coors Light.
There’s plenty to experience beyond the bars, too. Take Me Home gives fans the chance to score exclusive merch and signed items from their favorite bands while helping save animal lives, while Body Art Express, a veteran-owned mobile tattoo shop, offers onsite tattooing and piercing for fans looking to commemorate the weekend.
Check out all the Aftershock onsite experiences on the festival website here.
Limited Aftershock 4-Day, 2-Day and Single Day General Admission, VIP, and Capital Club passes remain and are available here, with layaway options available. The Capitol Club offers an all-inclusive oasis with premium amenities and elevated views of the main stage.

Thankfully there were no lightning storms forcing evacuations, which has seemed to plague so many outdoor rock festivals.

Once again, there were too many bands playing too many stages, and the concert you missed was probably as good as the concert you saw.

Starset ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Between dodging raindrops and hiding under stages protecting my camera equipment, I was able to capture Butcher Babies, Adelitas Way, Powerman 5000, Mushroomhead, Starset (both acoustic and electric headliner set, complete with pyro and fireworks), Motionless In White, Skillet and Tenacious D featuring Kyle Gass and Jack Black.

Skillet ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

The show I didn’t see included The Dead Daisies, Crowbar, Upon A Burning Body, The Word Alive, Apocalyptica, Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills, Queensryche, From Ashes To New, God Forbid, Thrice, Pierce The Veil, Gwar, Pennywise, I Prevail and Slipknot.

Mushroomhead ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Sion (featuring Howard Jones) and Lacuna Coil (featuring Cristina Scabbia) were late scratches, and unfortunately did not perform.

Despite days of exhaustion, muddy grounds and soaked clothing, the crowd never let up on their passion and physicality.

Rainy Fans ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Tickets and campsites are already selling well for next year, proving that die hard metal fans will endure anything to experience the power of live music, and the feeling of connecting with other people who are just as mental about metal as they are.
