Aftershock Sets Record and Announces 2022 Dates
From SACCOUNTY NEWS, October 14, 2021
After a two-year hiatus, Aftershock Festival returned to Sacramento County’s Discovery Park this last weekend, welcoming a record-setting 145,000 fans. For the first time in the event’s history, Aftershock spanned four days.
This year’s event, which sold out for the fifth consecutive year, is estimated to have brought in $30 million to the local economy, according to Visit Sacramento. Roughly 75 percent of attendees traveled to Aftershock from outside the region.
Safety was a top concern for festival organizer, Danny Wimmer Presents. To protect the health of fans, artists, staff and crew, all attendees were required to show proof of either full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within 72 hours of the festival. Additional COVID-19 protocols were in place to ensure a safe and healthy event.
