Aftershock Single Day and Weekend General Admission and VIP passes are on sale now starting at $10.00 down, with payments amortized over five months (April-August).

KXTV ABC 10 News has called Aftershock "the largest rock and heavy metal festival in the western United States [that] is attracting fans near and far."
