The absolutely epic quadruple-whammy of Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot and KISS are set to headline Aftershock 2022.

The headliners join over 90 bands for the massive Sacramento fest, which takes place from October 6 – 9 at Discovery Park. Elsewhere on the bill, the likes of Rob Zombie, Judas Priest, Shinedown, Papa Roach, Evanescence, Lamb Of God, Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember will be playing, plus a whole load of awesome newcomers like Vended, Bloodywood, POORSTACY and Wargasm. Basically: it's just a massive mix of all the best rock and metal you could wish for.

"I am over-the-moon stoked to be one of the headliners of Aftershock this year," says Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix. "Honestly, this is like a dream come true. We have worked our whole career for moments like this, and cannot wait to be back in Sacramento, where it all began, for the hometown throwdown! NorCal better be fucking ready, ’cause it’s about to go down at Aftershock 2022!”

“We are so stoked to play at Aftershock in Sacramento this fall!" adds Evanescence's Amy Lee. "MCR, Foo Fighters, KISS, Slipknot, there’s so much to look forward to! We absolutely cannot wait for this epic festival.”
