The 2025 ‘Sick New World‘ festival has officially been canceled. A statement issued by the festival’s organizers today, November 29th, reads:
“It is with great disappointment that we announce that Sick New World will no longer take place in Las Vegas April 12, 2025.
Despite our best efforts, we’ve encountered unforeseen circumstances that we are unable to overcome for next year’s show. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the all the dedicated SNW fans who had made plans to join us for another cultural celebration of hard rock, goth, alternative and heavy music. Please stay tuned for further and future information regarding Sick New World.
