Sick New World has risen from the grave. The heavy rock and nu-metal festival, thought to be extinct after this year’s cancellation, will return to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25 with Korn and System of a Down headlining.
After teasing a comeback at the recent When We Were Young festival, Sick New World announced its lineup of more than 40 acts, including Bring Me the Horizon, Evanescence, Knocked Loose, Marilyn Manson, AFI, Melvins, Underoath, Ministry, and sonic curveballs like film composer Danny Elfman, hip-hop group Cypress Hill and dark synth artist Carpenter Brut.
Sick New World will also expand the festival to Fort Worth, Texas, next October with performances by Deftones, Slayer and System of a Down.
Presale for Sick New World Las Vegas begins October 23 at 10 a.m. and fans can sign up at sicknewworldfest.com/vegas to receive an access code. A same-day public sale will follow.
