Aftershock Festival is coming back between October 5 and 8 at the Discovery Park in Sacramento, CA. You can check out the full lineup below, but there are few interesting things to note about it:
- Turnstile is one of the headliners for October 5 alongside Incubus and Avenged Sevenfold. That band got huge fast.
- Of course we're going to see a lot more of Avenged Sevenfold now that they've announced their new album.
- Megadeth is opening for Tool, Limp Bizkit, and Godsmack on October 6.
- Tool playing a festival in October maybe means we're a little closer to that tour announcement?
- 311 is headlining alongside Korn and Pantera on October 7. What a weird combination, made even more interesting by the fact that Pantera isn't the headliner that day.
- Dethklok is playing on October 7. Hell yeah.
- Sleep Token is also playing on October 7. also hell yeah.
- Queens Of The Stone Age is back, baby! October 8!
