Whelp, nothing we can do about the election now, no matter what side of the political fence you reside on. Politics aside, one positive entity that the future of this country holds is Sick New World Fest, returning to downtown Las Vegas on April 12th, 2025. Being held again at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, Sick New World 2025 is officially set to melt the minds of metalheads, punk rockers, and alt lovers alike.
Fusing all genres of awesome together into one giant day of insanity… well, that’s Vegas in a nutshell, right?
And this isn’t a drill. The world is seeing the return of Linkin Park (you heard us right) headlining next to metal lords Metallica. How, you ask, will the band hold up without Chester Bennington? We will just have to show and see… but hopefully well. Queens of the Stone Age supports with Evanescence, The Sisters of Mercy, Ministry, 311, and AFI. There’s something about watching Davey Havok wreak havoc all over a stage that really makes the world a better place.
Even if it’s a Sick New World, that is. The captivating contagion continues with Gojira, Acid Bath, The Flaming Lips, Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, Three Days Grace, Cannibal Corpse, Down, Meshuggah, Tomahawk., The Melvins, Testament, Mastodon, Underoath, Lacuna Coil, and SO MANY OTHERS. There’s The Hives for garage rockers, X for old-school punks, Nuovo Testamento and Twin Tribes for goths, and Stabbing Westward, Dope, and Orgy turning up the industrial rock. It’s truly a return to the early to mid-2000s this year!
