Gojira is the No. 1 reason to attend the 2025 Aftershock Festival, which runs Oct. 2-5 at Discovery Park in Sacramento.
The French quartet, which ranks on the short list of the greatest metal acts of all time, is absolutely sensational in concert and should pretty easily top Korn, Blink-182 and other big-name acts on the Aftershock bill.
Yet, Gojira is only one of the many reasons to attend what is most certainly the best metal/hard-rock festival on the West Coast.
We also are looking forward to catching Demon Hunter, a fantastic Seattle five-piece touring in support of the recently released “There Was a Light Here,” and Flyleaf, a Texas outfit led by powerhouse vocalist Lacey Sturm.
We are also interested in Rob Zombie, who’s nearly as good at playing shock rock as he is at directing horror films, and the Grammy-nominated metalcore outfit August Burns Red.
Want two more recommendations? Check out Baltimore punk act Turnstile — on the road of support of the fine new album “Never Enough” — and longtime Louisiana rockers 12 Stones.
Details: Oct. 2-5; Discovery Park, Sacramento; aftershockfestival.com
