Here’s a sample of what the press had to say about Monster Energy Aftershock:

 

“They came by the thousands to Discovery Park, from as close as Modesto and as far away as Moscow…The crowds have doubled since that [first] 2012 event. Millions of dollars went into the local economy this weekend, and perhaps most importantly, everyone had a safe experience at a big outdoor concert.”

–CBS Sacramento, 10/23/17

 

“The sixth installment of the Aftershock Festival took place at Sacramento’s Discovery Park this past weekend, and proved to be the biggest (and loudest) one yet…a spectacular Day 1…Day Two of Aftershock wasted no time in picking up right where Nine Inch Nails had left off…one of California’s premiere festivals.”

–Loudwire, 10/23/17

 

“The annual Aftershock Festival in Sacramento was a great reminder that we’re all in this world together and we all have to lookout for each other. Roughly 50,000 people came out to Discovery Park this weekend to enjoy some amazing performances, unbelievable weather, and good times.”

–Juxtapoz, 10/22/17
