Aftershock 2024 Aftermath | The Official Weekend Recap

Soak it all in. This was what WE got to experience this year in Sacramento, California as over 120 bands took the stage for over 130,000 fans. And if you didn't get to join us, you now know you should.

With more than 130+ bands across five full stages, the Aftershock weekend hosted a number of special performances and guest appearances including Slayer’s highly-anticipated reunion set (one of just two shows from the metal legends in 2024); Slipknot who marked 25 years of their self-titled debut album, released in 1999; Iron Maiden’s two-hour performance and only 2024 U.S. festival appearance; and Mötley Crüe’s final show in a massive two-year world tour.
 
In addition, Disturbed singer David Draiman made a very special appearance in Nothing More’s set for a performance of their collaborative hit “Angel Song,” while singer Royale Lynn guested with Disturbed for Ann Wilson’s part on the track “Don’t Tell Me.” Breaking Benjamin and Tom Morello also had guests in their sets that hit close to home – Benjamin Burnley’s son Benjamin Jackson Burnley V joined to offer vocals and guitar while Tom Morello’s son Roman Morello joined his father to play guitar on the Rage Against The Machine classic “Killing In The Name.”
 
Sen Dog from Cypress Hill also performed with Biohazard on the song “How It Is,” and Dead Poet Society linked up with The Warning drummer Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Vélez on the track “The Hurt.” There were also incredible sets from Till Lindemann (Rammstein) in one of his first solo shows in the U.S., Mastodon celebrating the 20th anniversary of their classic album Leviathan by playing it in full, Marky Ramone playing all the classic hits from The Ramones and a rare appearance from Insane Clown Posse, among other highlights.

The bands at the Coors Light Stage attracted huge crowds of some of the most dedicated death metal and metalcore fans over the four days, including impressive performances from Kublai Khan, Whitechapel, and Lorna Shore.
