Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival is a go for 2023. Here’s when, and how to get passes
After posting a major success this year, Aftershock Festival is officially on for 2023.
Sacramento’s biggest annual hard rock music festival will return to Discovery Park next year, running Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, event organizer Danny Wimmer Presents announced Monday.
The new GoldenSky Country Music Festival, the first taking place last month, will also return next year to Discovery Park, on Oct. 14 and Oct. 15, according to the concert promoter.
Early-bird passes for both festivals will go on sale starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, available online at AftershockFestival.com and GoldenSkyFestival.com.
Lineups for each festival are expected next spring, organizers said in a news release.
Last month’s Aftershock, the 10th edition of the growing hard rock and metal festival, set a record with about 160,000 fans attending the four-day event, headlined by Slipknot, Kiss, My Chemical Romance and Muse. That total broke the previous record of 145,000, set in 2021.
After cancellation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aftershock in 2021 expanded from three days to four.
