Aftershock returns to Discovery Park on October 1 to 4, and the scale of this thing is properly absurd. Beyond headliners My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit, Pierce The Veil and Tool, you’re looking at a bill so deep it could comfortably split into half a dozen separate festivals, with Killswitch Engage, Sleep Theory, A Day To Remember, Queens Of The Stone Age and Danny Elfman all somewhere in the mix.

With that many bands across five stages, clashes are inevitable. The full stage times are out now, so here’s everything you need to start mapping your weekend.
