Sacramento became the hottest place to be for rock music fans as the Aftershock Festival took over Discovery Park from Oct. 2-5. According to festival organizer Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP), over 164,000 estimated attendees from all over the globe crowded the grounds to listen to their favorite bands for the four-day event, generating over $35 million in revenue for hotels, transportation and businesses throughout the greater Sacramento area. This year’s festival was headlined by Blink 182, Deftones, Korn and Bring Me the Horizon.
