The lineup for this year’s third annual Monster Energy’s Aftershock Festival has been unveiled, and a wide-ranging run of rock is in store for Sacramento on Sept 13 & 14. Weezer, Rob Zombie, Mastodon, AWOLNATION, Five Finger Death Punch, Bad Religion and more will descend on Discovery Park near downtown Sacramento for two days of musical mayhem. With an Aftershock lineup like this, there’s something for every rock lover under the sun.
After the major success of last year’s festival (sold-out with 32,000 in attendance), California’s biggest rock festival is expanding to four stages in 2014, offering more bands than ever. Crave’s going to be hooking a few lucky winners up with some kickass access, so keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks.

The Offspring plans to play their Smash album in its entirety, with other surprises planned for the two-day event. Frontman Dexter Holland says, “We’re thrilled to cap off our summer tour at Aftershock 2014 and play our Smash album in its entirety for NorCal music fans. It’s going to be an epic weekend.”
“After a sold out 2013, I’m excited to bring a more diverse lineup to Aftershock with many of the top artists of the last two decades in rock, alternative, punk and metal,” says festival creator/producer Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “The addition of a third main stage this year and the expanded rock genres will only add to the excitement of what makes Monster Energy’s Aftershock a one of a kind experience.”
