This coming weekend, Aftershock returns to Discovery Park in Sacramento, California for four blockbuster days of rock and metal mayhem. Joining headliners Slayer, Slipknot, Iron Maiden and Mötley Crüe are the likes of Evanescence, Judas Priest, Disturbed, Halestorm, Architects, Clutch, Seether, Anthrax, Mastodon, Poppy and many more huge names from right across the alternative music spectrum, making this year's lineup one of the most stacked of 2024.

WIth that in mind, here are 10 upcoming bands you need to check out if you're heading to Discovery Park this weekend.
