Gojira is the No. 1 reason to attend the 2025 Aftershock Festival this weekend at Discovery Park in Sacramento. The French quartet, which ranks on the short list of the greatest metal acts of all time, is absolutely sensational in concert and should pretty easily top Korn, Blink-182 and other big-name acts on the Aftershock bill. Yet, Gojira is only one of the many reasons to attend what is most certainly the best metal/hard-rock festival on the West Coast.

On Oct. 5, the cities will fete their very special relationship in a very special way - wistfully gazing at the same moon. It's a Supermoon, to be precise, or a full moon that appears swollen due to its seasonal closeness to earth. As it happens, this month's Supermoon has the charming nickname of " Blood Moon," because it historically appeared at the start of hunting season.
