See Blink-182 headline Day 1 of 2025 Aftershock festival in Sacramento

The Aftershock music festival returned to Sacramento on Thursday with pop-punk band Blink-182 headlining the event’s four stages in Sacramento’s Discovery Park.

The four-day festival features more than 115 rock, punk and metal bands, and its organizers bill it as the largest such event on the West Coast. The festival welcomed 160,000 fans in 2024.

Sacramento’s own Deftones will headline the Friday lineup. Korn and Bring Me The Horizon will headline on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
