Warped Tour, Mayhem Festival & Aftershock Festival With Aaron

In this episode of Festies, we are joined by our friend Aaron Apple, a longtime rock and metal fan and festival regular, to talk about the evolution of festivals from Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival to Aftershock Festival.

We dive into how Warped Tour shaped a generation of punk and alternative fans, how Mayhem Festival brought major metal lineups to cities across the country, and how events like Aftershock Festival in Sacramento became a modern home for rock and metal lovers. Clark and Aaron also reminisce about their day at Aftershock, the bands, the chaos, the nostalgia, and what makes festivals like these stick with you years later.

If you grew up on Warped Tour or found your scene at Aftershock Festival, this episode is for you.
