    In addition to the music, Aftershock offers a variety of fan-favorite onsite experiences designed to take the festival weekend to the next level.
    Aftershock 2026 brings plenty of places to grab a drink, cool off and hang between sets. Step into Tremors Dive Bar, a proper air-conditioned dive with strong drinks and music all day, or stop by Jack’s House for the Jack Daniel’s karaoke trailer, photo ops and Jack Daniel’s curated beverages. Fans can also grab a cold beverage and kick back at Parlor Soda Shop, Topo Chico Cantina, Coors Light Chill Zone and The Desnuda Outpost.
    New in 2026, check out Cantina del Diablo, an open-air spot tucked under the trees serving Mexican street fare, tequila and mezcal cocktails, and cold cerveza—hosted by Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. The Aftershock x Jungle Bird Tiki Bar also expands from its one-day 2025 pop-up to the full festival weekend, bringing Sacramento’s favorite tiki bar onsite with curated cocktails in an air-conditioned, island-inspired hideaway. Fans can also catch the biggest regional and national games throughout the weekend at Overtime Sports Bar, just steps from The Point Stage Presented by Coors Light.
    There’s plenty to experience beyond the bars, too. Take Me Home gives fans the chance to score exclusive merch and signed items from their favorite bands while helping save animal lives, while Body Art Express, a veteran-owned mobile tattoo shop, offers onsite tattooing and piercing for fans looking to commemorate the weekend.
