I survived my first day at Aftershock in Sacramento. Here are 4 things I wish I knew before
Briefly

The experience of going to Aftershock was different from my usual concerts, especially with the crowd mentality that encourages physicality and moshing.
Seeing Pantera live was a significant moment, especially after their cancellation last year. Nostalgia for my dad's love for their music motivated me to be there.
There was an exhilarating energy at the festival, with fans participating in moshing and crowd surfing, creating an intense atmosphere unique to metal festivals.
The festival-goers ranged from juggalos to metalheads, all finding common ground in the love of live music and the thrill of the mosh pit.
