My Chem, Tool, Pierce The Veil, Bizkit and more for biggest-ever Aftershock

The biggest-ever line-up for Aftershock has been revealed!

The Sacramento, California mega-fest – which hits Discovery Park between October 1-4 – will host a whopping 140-plus bands in 2026, with colossal headline sets from surefire winners My Chemical Romance and Limp Bizkit, a Pierce The Veil bill-topping debut, and the ever-mighty Tool.

Elsewhere, The Offspring, Sublime, $UICIDEBOY$, A Day To Remember, BABYMETAL, Queens Of The Stone Age, Circa Survive, Public Enemy, AFI, The Used, Stone Temple Pilots, Cypress Hill and The Pretty Reckless will all appear, as well as the Wu-Tang Clan as part of their The Final Chamber tour.

“This year’s Aftershock marks a bold new chapter for the festival,” reveals Danny Wimmer. “We’ve brought together metal, punk, emo and nu-metal to create a line-up that’s raw, youthful, and unapologetic.

“With Tool anchoring the weekend and Pierce The Veil making their headlining debut, we’re breaking boundaries and redefining what Aftershock can be.

“And after years of fan requests, we’re finally introducing camping – giving fans the chance to fully immerse themselves in the weekend. This is a new era for Aftershock, and Sacramento is about to feel it.”
