The bill in running order — headliner first.
Kiss (often stylized as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973. Well known for its members' white and black face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics. Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band.
Lamb of God is an American heavy metal band from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1990, the group consists of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler. The band is considered to be a part of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement. Since its formation, Lamb of God has released six studio albums, one live album, one compilation album and three DVDs. The band's cumulative sales equal almost two million in the United States. In 2007 the band received a Grammy nomination for their 2006 album Sacrament.
Judas Priest are a British heavy metal band formed in Birmingham, England in 1969. Known for twin lead guitars, a wide operatic vocal style, and for introducing the S&M leather-and-studs look into heavy metal, they have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. After an early career as a secondary act dogged by unsympathetic producers and lineup changes, the band found considerable commercial success in the 1980s. In 1989, they were named as defendants in an unsuccessful lawsuit alleging that subliminal messages on their albums had caused the suicide attempts of two young men.

The venue
Aftershock returns as Northern California’s loudest fest and the largest hard rock festival on the West Coast with four full days of music in Sacramento’s Discovery Park Oct. 6 to 9. While the bill is heavy on rock, Aftershock boasts an eclectic range of headliners in Slipknot, KISS, My Chemical Romance and Muse.
It’ll will be followed the following week by the inaugural country music GoldenSky Festival, also presented by promoter Danny Wimmer Presents. DWP will keep some of its infrastructure in place for the event, headlined by Tim McGraw and Sam Hunt. Tickets for Aftershock are available online.
Unlike BottleRock Napa and Outside Lands, which entices attendees with culinary and drink offerings, Aftershock has always emphasized the music, with two main stages and two side stages. There are, however, a handful of beer, spirits, wine and cannabis vendors.
Aftershock has seen consistent growth from its 2012 inception, when Stone Temple Pilots headlined the inaugural one-day event. The event has been at Discovery Park every year, save one, when it was moved to the nearby Gibson Ranch.
Northern California is an infrequent stop for hard rock acts, and Aftershock is the lone festival here specifically targeting fans of heavy bands and artists.
