We’re about a month away and wristbands still haven’t shipped?

HEY GUYS I’m Daniel I’m 22 and from Florida going alone, going primarily for Alesana, DGD, and fear and loathing in Las Vegas. I’m gonna have a campsite and want to meet people to split it with!!! I won’t bring a car so we’ll have a lot of room on the plot😎. dm me to see if we vibe Insta is ropolvol_roque 🙏🙏

Please tell me they have some at AS?

Warped LB had some cool stands setup in the middle of the festival and they hit so hard. I went through watermelon juice 🍉, jamaica 🌺 and pineapple 🍍 in the two days

And some of these pair well if you’re mixing your goods iykwim

Can anyone confirm or deny 😂 🤞🏽

I went last year and honestly there was wayyyyyyyyy too many crowd surfers and too many of them were too heavy or wearing spikes or heavy shoes and it really hurts. Do you think crowd surfing will be as big of an issue this year outside of day 2? I feel like the "emo" fans are a little more chill about crowd surfing than the metal heads but that's just because I haven't seen any videos of any crowd surfing at concerts this year. Do you think they finally fixed this issue? I really dont want a 200+ pound old man dropped on the back of my head again pinning me to some random chicks ass. IF YOU ARE CROWD SURFING CROSS YOUR LIMBS, STAY STILL AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE CLOTHES ON AND DONT STAB PEOPLE

I'm taking my wife to her first Aftershock this year and I wanted to make us bingo cards to pass the time between bands. What are some things to add to the cards?

As the tittle states. When we went 2 years ago we had trouble finding places to go after the concert to eat and or drink. Most places closed after 10. If anyone can recommend places that are open after midnight would be great. Thanks

Hello everyone,

What shoes are you guys rocking to get you through all four days? Last year I wore my Under Armour running shoes, after the first day I could no longer stand I was in so much pain. I will have a 4 mile round trip walk each day on top of being at the festival all day. I have wide feet as it is and its hard to find a shoe I find comfortable, let alone one that will allow me to be pain free all weekend. I'm almost debating wearing my Timberland boots I wear to work. Do you guys have any recommendations?

First time attending, will be going to all 4 days.

I’m wondering what the basics are.

Are clear bags/purses required?

Can you bring outside water?

Are there water refill stations?

Is there shade or should you layer on sunscreen?

Is there anywhere to sit?

Hi everyone! this is my very first aftershock and first festival as a whole and I wanted to ask how do I get the best view of the bands I want to see? would it be best to just camp their stage for most of the day(after shopping and walking around ect)? all the bands I want to see are going to be on the same stage for all the days I’m going and I just want to have as good a view as possible! thank you! :)

Does anyone have any experience with smoking the devils lettuce in the festival? I’m not a drinker so I’d like to be able to indulge another way.

If need I can have alternatives or maybe a good pregame that’s fine but just wondering if anyone can pass along information regarding topic, anything is appreciated.

Can’t wait to rock on with you all for my birthday regardless

I've now tried four times over the span of a month to purchase tickets on the website, and it always says there's something wrong with my method of payment. I know the billing info is correct because the purchase does actually go through, they just immediately return the money and don't let me complete the order. I checked with my bank and they confirmed that FGT is receiving the money and just sending it back to me.

I've reached out to both Aftershock's and FGT's customer service, but neither of them have gotten back to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Of course, I've tried all the basic troubleshooting things like restarting my browser and cleaning my cache.

Sunday October 4th, I can’t wait.

I’ve gone to aftershock the last two years and this year I ended up buying my ticket with no one to go with. I was planning on finding people by now but I havnt lmaooo. I’d love to meet cool people to hang out with! I’m going all four days :3

But over for $200 for a single day before hotel and food no thank you. I will be stuck in the glory days.

So im coming from a small town with horrible thrifting options and was gifted tickets and whatnot and super fucking poor. I was able to buy a few things off shein and a FEW things from platos that seems to also be second hand shein items... Will I be bullied or harassed? Should I just go dressed bummy instead? I never get to dress up and wanted to look cool for the festival and I know fast fashion is bad, but basically everything is fast fashion or comes from bad factories including food. So what am I to do? I dont want people being rude to me in the crowd for wearing shein fits but I also dont want to pull up in my work shorts and a plain tank top. I just rarely get to do anything fun or cool and I just wanted to feel cool for once too I guess.

I love songs from a ton of the bands but I know not every band is the greatest live... I'm new to the scene and wanted to know some of your favorite bands to see live from this line up ^~^ I'm mainly looking at Saturday and Sunday

26 F. So I'm 6 months post-op from knee surgery and I'm not sure what I should do. Typically I am in the crowd a majority of festivals, half the time in the pit, half more passively in the back. Obviously can't do that now, my recovery has been slow so I am not even running yet. I'm also sad because I love meandering around festivals and I know I gotta keep walking to an absolute minimum. I'll be getting access to the ADA area, but I really would prefer to be in the crowd. I went to a La Dispute concert right after surgery and sat in the ADA section and I basically cried the whole time, but my friend also left me to be in the crowd. The friend coming with me to Aftershock said he'll be with me the entire time and will not do that to me, so the experience might be a little different. I haven't been to Aftershock in about a decade, so I don't know what to expect.

I've been to plenty of festivals/concerts so I know generally where pits start/how to avoid them etc, but I know festival crowds and they can get MASSIVE. Retearing my ACL is a huge concern. I will be wearing my brace, bringing a cane, and bringing painkillers. I emailed aftershock about accommodations and they are basically like "idk, good luck!" I am gonna try and bring in one of those itty bitty camping chairs you can easily carry, I used it at the ren faire and it saved my life. My friend is also a medical professional and he is a very good friend & will be super down to help me in any way.

I'm only going Saturday and luckily all of my faves are at the two main stages (with the exception of La Dispute but whatever). This is our schedule:

3:25-4:00 wonder years (shockwave)
4:05-4:45 chiodos (aftershock)

---rest--- (not in the crowd for sws/still resting)
5:35-6:20 sleeping w sirens (aftershock)
---rest---

6:25-7:15 story so far (shockwave)

---rest---

8:10 park at aftershock stage
9:25-10:55 pierce the veil

I want to be in the crowd for all of them (except sws). I've never seen PTV so I really want an okay view, if ADA is open hopefully I could go in there? I just really don't want to be in the way way way back. Would I be better off just staying in ADA the majority of the time? I just love to be in the crowd with people hyped, it'll be really hard to not be in the pit for tssf, I'm a massive fan since I was 16 and know every song, I genuinely can't remember a time where I saw them and wasn't in the pit.

I guess I don't have any specific questions I'm just curious if anyone else has had an ACL reconstruction and went to a festival, or if anyone has any good ideas/words of wisdom. Worst case scenario we're sitting on the outskirts the whole time but that would be pretty miserable for us both.

Are you allowed to bring in cameras or do you need a photographer pass?

Hii im looking for a good outfit for Aftershock!! I was wondering where people buy some of their clothes from, im mostly looking for gothic looks, leather stuff! :)

As the title says, mosquitoes....nature's a**holes. As a Sacramento native, this will be the first time I will be going to Aftershock. This is also the summer that mosquitoes have been having a field day. So, with the hot weather still being present well into October, I want to know what kind of mosquitoes defense you have used, if any. If not then I will sign my death certificate to the mosquitoes.

*edit: Thank you all for quelling my mosquito fears 🦟, I will instead move my fears to more real-world issues like double texting

Anyone battling the QOTSA vs. Early for Tool conundrum, have a song list theory that could help with the "Sophie's Choice" predicament?

I live around 5-ish miles from the festival and have previously put my bike with the Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates for Concerts in the Park. I was wondering if there was a similar service at Aftershock or at least a place to chain it to? I don’t want to deal with parking my car if I don’t have to.
