Sat., Sept. 14, through Sun., Sept. 15; Aftershock 2013

Just go ahead and plan to be sick on Monday, because after the Aftershock 2013 festival, you won't be fit to work. P.O.D. still brings it like nobody's business; Skillet gives you plenty of reasons to bang your head; Shinedown and Korn will sonically pummel you to death if the guys in the pit don't do that to you first; and then there's one of metal's “big four”: Megadeth. Local rock heroes and one of the last remaining bands from the rock-metal hybrid invasion of the late 1990s, Papa Roach (pictured), will also be appearing, as will rock stalwarts Avenged Sevenfold and up-and-comers Halestorm and Five Finger Death Punch. 1600 Garden Highway, www.aftershockconcert.com.
