Sick New World Festival
2027
Sick New World takes over Vegas in...
Rock & Metal Collide in the Desert!
Sick New World has rapidly established itself as one of the premier rock and metal festivals in the country. Held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, this single-day event brings together a massive lineup of heavy hitters — from nu-metal legends and alt-rock icons to hardcore and industrial heavyweights. The 2026 edition featured System of a Down, Korn, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, and many more.
The festival captures a unique energy that blends the intensity of the music with the over-the-top atmosphere of Las Vegas. Multiple stages run simultaneously, meaning there's always something crushing happening no matter where you are on the grounds. If you're into anything heavy — metal, hardcore, industrial, goth, nu-metal — Sick New World is your festival.

Your Guide to Sick New World 2027
Sick New World launched in 2023 as a festival dedicated to the heavier side of rock and metal, and it has quickly become one of the most anticipated events on the festival calendar for fans of the genre. Produced by the team behind When We Were Young and held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, the single-day festival packs an enormous lineup across multiple stages for a full day of heavy music in the desert.
The festival's lineups have been staggering in scope. The 2026 edition featured System of a Down, Korn, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Danny Elfman, Knocked Loose, Ministry, AFI, Cypress Hill, and Acid Bath among dozens of other acts. Previous years have drawn equally massive bills, establishing Sick New World as the go-to destination for fans of nu-metal, industrial, goth, hardcore, and alternative metal.
The Las Vegas Festival Grounds sit on the north end of the Strip, providing easy access from any Las Vegas hotel. The outdoor venue features multiple stages running simultaneously, so there's always something heavy happening. The desert heat adds to the intensity — it's a full-sensory experience that matches the weight of the music. Food vendors, merch tents, and art installations fill out the grounds between stages.
Sick New World has also expanded beyond Las Vegas, with a Texas edition announced for 2026. The brand's growth signals strong demand for a dedicated heavy music festival experience — something that had been underserved in the festival landscape for years. Fans have responded with massive ticket sales and genuine enthusiasm for the curated lineups.
