Sick New World proves once again why it’s one of North America’s most exciting festivals. The fest is returning for its third iteration to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 12, 2025. The stacked lineup includes over 50 bands from the worlds of metal, nu-metal, metalcore, hard rock, and more.
While Metallica isn’t a total surprise since they announced they would be playing with their world tour announcement a few weeks ago, the addition of recently reunited Linkin Park is a pleasant surprise. Joining them are vets Queens Of The Stone Age, Evanescence, Goijira, Three Days Grace, and AFI, just to name a few.
If you want your fix of metalcore and hardcore, the fest has you covered there as well. Glassjaw, Refused, Underoath, Terror, Scowl, ERRA, Poison The Well, and System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian’s Seven Hours After Violet are leading the charge on that front.
Ticket pre-sale starts this Friday, October 18, at 10 AM PT. You can sign up for that here. Any remaining tickets following the presale will go on sale to the public later that day at 2 PM PT. GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum tickets will be available, with layaway payment plans starting at $19.99 down.
