Aftershock Announces The Original Misfits Will Replace My Chemical Romance in 2021 Lineup

Aftershock Festival has announced their lineup for 2021, as shared by Dave Lombardo on his Instagram account. The festival is set for the dates October 7-10 of 2021 and is located at Discovery Park, which is near Sacramento, California. The official website explains how to get to the park. The headliners for Friday and Sunday are Metallica and for Saturday, the original members of Misfits. The original line up of Misfits will have Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only.


Last year, Metallica was set to play many festivals, including Welcome to Rockville, where similarly they had planned to headline two shows, but due to the pandemic, the Rockville Festival was canceled. The band had also canceled their Sonic Temple and Louder Than Life festival shows due to singer James Hetfield’s medical treatment for mental health and substance abuse.

Other acts that are set to play the Aftershock Festival are Suicidal Tendencies, Anti-Flag, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit, Rancid, Social Distortion, Rise Against, Machine Gun Kelly and many more.
