‘Sick New World’ looks to be the latest fully stacked rock festival set in Las Vegas, Nevada for next year. Similar to the Las Vegas held emo-punk festival ‘When We Were Young,’ Sick New World’s bill is absolutely filled to the brim with top tier bands, all of whom stretch across over three decades of rock music.

Differentiating itself from ‘When We Were Young, the theme of ‘Sick New World’s bill seems to be focused on hard rock, alternative and metal bands, specifically with its headliners System Of A Down, Korn, Deftones, and Incubus and with the inclusion of post-punk/alt-rock legends Killing Joke and The Sisters Of Mercy.

Additionally, this festival is making more an effort in providing younger bands better positioning on the bill as well, showcasing bands such as Turnstile, Spiritbox, Scowl, and Fiddlehead to name a few. However, ‘Sick New World’ is banking on the same mid-90’s early 2000’s nostalgia that was seen at this year’s When Were Young Festival, albeit Sick New World is doing so whilst catering toward the heavy music crowd.
