SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After a record-breaking year in 2026, Aftershock is set to return to Sacramento’s Discovery Park for its 15th year, with four days of rock and metal on the calendar.

On Tuesday festival production company Danny Wimmer Presents announced the rock and metal festival’s 2027 dates and when tickets will go on sale.

In 2027, Aftershock will come right before the return of the GoldenSky country festival, and fans will be able to purchase tickets for both festivals at a bundled price, according to Danny Wimmer Presents, which produces both events.

More than 180,000 attendees passed through the festival gates in 2026, marking four sold-out days at Discovery Park. More than 140 bands performed across five stages. Pierce the Veil, My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit and Tool headlined, while a number of bands from Sacramento also hit the stage.

Here’s what to know about Aftershock 2027.

When will Aftershock 2027 be held?

According to the festival’s news release, Aftershock is scheduled for Sept. 30 through Oct. 3, 2027, at Discovery Park, 100 Garden Highway in Sacramento.

The following week, Oct. 9-10, GoldenSky will replace the heavy drums and metal vocals filling the park with a country twang. Singers Zach Bryan and Megan Moroney are slated to headline the return of GoldenSky, which was on hiatus in 2025 and 2026. The rock festival’s lineup had no announced release date as of Tuesday. In 2026, the Aftershock lineup was released in March.

When are Aftershock 2027 tickets going on sale?

Weekend passes and VIP tickets will be up for sale to the public starting Monday, Nov. 16, at noon Pacific time on the Aftershock website. Fans who sign up on the festival’s website will have access to a presale starting at noon Pacific time on Friday, Nov. 13.

Hotel packages were already available on the Jampack website as of Tuesday afternoon.

A new 916 Pass will offer general admission to all six days across the Aftershock and GoldenSky festivals, according to the festival producer.

Ticket prices for the 2027 festival had not been announced as of Tuesday.

Will Aftershock attendees be able to camp again?

RV and tent camping spots will once again be available for festival attendees after the lodging option at Cal Expo, 1600 Exposition Blvd. in Sacramento, was introduced in 2026. Camping spots will go on sale alongside tickets on Monday, Nov. 16, at noon Pacific time.

Next year, the festival’s dates are set to overlap with the California State Fair, which is scheduled for Sept. 17 through Oct. 3, 2027, at Cal Expo.

Still, Aftershock camping is set to be held at the same venue, according to Danny Wimmer Presents.
