It was a party all weekend long at Discovery Park in Sacramento with rock and metal fans from across the world coming for the four-day Aftershock festival.

Among the festival goers was a 24-year-old reporter — that’s me — filled with excitement and a little bit of terror. I’m a seasoned music festival and concertgoer, but this marked my first trip to Aftershock.
