The Aftershock Festival 2026 lineup — headlined by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (Thursday), Limp Bizkit (Friday), Pierce the Veil (Saturday), and TOOL (Sunday) — continued to generate intense coverage throughout mid-March. Danny Wimmer Presents announced that pre-sale demand for the Sacramento festival, set for the first four days of October at Discovery Park, had surpassed all previous years.
The four-day event features over 140 acts across five stages, making it the largest Aftershock lineup in the festival's 14-year history. TOOL's headlining slot generated exceptional demand, with floor ticket pre-sales selling out within hours. The lineup also features DEFTONES, KORN, Bring Me the Horizon, and Spiritbox.
