Returning as host for the second year is Jose "Metal Ambassador" Mangin.

"GODSMACK is coming in hot this year. Come join us and GUNS N' ROSES! TOOL! KORN! and so many other killer bands at this year's massive Aftershock! We can't wait for everyone to hear our new album 'Lighting Up The Sky', which just came out! LET'S DO THIS!!!" says GODSMACK front man Sully Erna.

"We are so excited for what will be the biggest Aftershock in the festival's 11-year history," says Danny Hayes, CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents. "We are grateful for our partnership with the city and county of Sacramento and together we have built an amazing brand that showcases Sacramento to attendees from all over the globe."

"Aftershock has become synonymous with Sacramento, and we couldn't be more excited for the festival to be back this fall with such an incredible lineup," said Mike Testa, president and CEO of Visit Sacramento.
