During last year's festival, Aftershock's Danny Wimmer Presents announced Metallica is scheduled to play two sets on two different days in 2020. The rock icons won't just be in Sacramento in 2020, Metallica will headline five of Wimmer's U.S. rock festivals, performing two separate headlining sets at each event. The fests included are:
- Epicenter (May 1st-3rd) in Charlotte, North Carolina

At Aftershock 2020, Metallica is scheduled to play on Oct. 9 and 11. Tickets for this year's event are already on sale.
The full festival announcement is expected to be released soon.
If you can't make it to Aftershock, or if the festival sells out again like it has for the last five years, the band announced a full tour itinerary, including a stop in Oakland prior to their appearance at Aftershock on Oct. 6.
