Biggest Aftershock 2026 Set-Time Clashes
With five stages running simultaneously, fans will have to make some difficult choices.
Some of the major late-day overlaps include:
- Thursday: My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage and STARSET
- Friday: Limp Bizkit, $uicideboy$, Coheed And Cambria and Dethklok
- Saturday: Pierce The Veil, A Day To Remember and Black Label Society
- Sunday: TOOL, Queens of the Stone Age, Body Count and Dance Gavin Dance
The exact choice depends on which bands you want to see, but checking your personal itinerary before arriving can save time moving between stages.
How to Plan Your Aftershock 2026 Schedule
The easiest way to plan your weekend is to start with the bands you absolutely don’t want to miss.
1. Pick your must-see bands
Start with your top three to five artists for each day.
2. Check their stages
Aftershock’s five-stage layout means two artists you want to see may be performing at different locations at similar times.
3. Leave time between sets
Don’t build an itinerary that requires you to run from one side of Discovery Park to another for every performance.
4. Check the schedule again before each day
Festival schedules can change. Aftershock has encouraged fans to use its official festival app, which allows attendees to build personalized itineraries.
