You can officially map out your day if you plan to attend this year’s return of the ‘Sick New World‘ festival in Las Vegas, NV next weekend. Nü-metal stars System Of A Down and Korn headline this year’s flagship edition of that fest, which in a first, will also be staged in Fort Worth, TX this October with an alternate lineup.
This year’s first ‘Sick New World‘ event will be held April 25th at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, NV. With the release of the daily schedule comes the announcement of several lineup changes. By no surprise, Better Lovers have withdrawn from the roster. This past February that metalcore supergroup parted ways with vocalist Greg Puciato.
Another departure from the bill is industrial legends KMFDM, who have been sidelined by severe illness, and melodic hardcore band Scowl, whose decision to largely vacate their 2026 touring plans has led to many rumors about their current status.
Newly filling those voids are blackgazers Deafheaven, metalcore artist Showing Teeth, and grungy groove metal band Flatwounds. While not entirely new, an interesting listing on the below daily schedule is a joint set from hardcore outfits Terror and Pain Of Truth, who will also be touring together this spring.
