Sick new world set times

Are you ready to rock? Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated debut of Sick New World, a music festival showcasing electrifying performances from hard rock and nu-metal heavyweights like System Of A Down, Incubus, Korn, and many more. With a lineup tailored for those with a taste for more aggressive music, Sick New World promises to be the ultimate music festival of the year. Don’t miss out on this epic celebration of all things rock.

What is Sick New World?

Sick New World is a one-day music festival that was first held in May at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, Nev. The music festival debuted in 2023, with a lineup of music artists that cross the genres of hard rock, nu-metal, alt-rock, heavy metal, and more. C3 Presents, the company that produces this festival, is also responsible for other popular music festivals like Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees Music Festival and Austin City Limits. While similar to When We Were Young, Sick New World focuses more on nu-metal and hard rock music of the late ‘90s. 



When Is Sick New World?

Sick New World takes place on Saturday, April 27, with gates opening at 11 a.m. and closing by 12 a.m.

This Saturday, May 13, the inaugural
Sick New World Festival
will take place at the Las Vegas Fairgrounds, featuring a who’s-who of some of the biggest names of the hard rock and “nu-metal” scene of the early 2000s — as well as icons of the industrial/metal world and beyond.

On Tuesday evening, the festival revealed its schedule, which — just like When We Were Young, the punk and “emo” variant of this sort of festival that took place at the same venue last October — crams a ton of acts into four stages spread out across the grounds.



Heads up: Rock Cellar will be in attendance at Sick New World, stay tuned for extensive coverage of the madness. 



Since the initial schedule was revealed, a few adjustments have been made to avoid conflicts (such as Deftones vs. Loathe and Hoobastank vs. Incubus), and barring any future changes it looks like this:
