Sick New World Festivals Revived with Massive Lineups in Las Vegas and Texas
21 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Sick New World festival returning in 2023 with events in Las Vegas and Fort Worth
- Headliners include System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, and Slayer
- Lineup features over 30 big-name acts spanning nü-metal, goth, industrial, and more
In the past few years, the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas has focused on celebrating the nü-metal genre and associated styles like goth, industrial, and hardcore. Earlier this year, the festival was set to feature Metallica and Linkin Park as headliners, but it was canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances."
However, Sick New World is making a comeback in 2023 with not one, but two separate festivals. The first will take place in Las Vegas on April 25, while the second is scheduled for October 24 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Las Vegas edition of Sick New World will feature a massive lineup, with System of a Down and Korn serving as the headliners. The bill also includes Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Knocked Loose, Cypress Hill, Mastodon, and many other notable acts spanning the nü-metal, goth, industrial, and metal genres.
