Earlier this year, Las Vegas hosted the first-ever edition of nu metal-leaning festival Sick New World, and today they’ve announced the lineup for its second edition, happening April 27, 2024 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Like the 2023 lineup, there’s definitely a lot of nu metal nostalgia, but there’s also industrial, hardcore, alternative rock, other types of metal, and more. This year also dips its toes more into the realm of classic slowcore and shoegaze, with Slowdive, Duster, and Drop Nineteens providing an ethereal contrast to all the heavier stuff.
System Of A Down will once again be one of the headliners, marking their first-announced show since the first Sick New World, which was also SOAD’s only show of 2023 thus far. The other headliner is Slipknot, and other big names include A Perfect Circle, Alice In Chains, Bring Me The Horizon, Danny Elfman, Primus, Swans, Lamb of God, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, and more.
Lower down on the poster, there’s Loathe, Kittie, Helmet, Kublai Khan TX, Killing Joke, Drain, Vein, Killing Joke, Code Orange, Sunami, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Front Line Assembly, Have A Nice Life, Fleshtwater, 3TEETH, Incendiary, Superheaven, Trash Talk, Better Lovers (members of Every Time I Die and The Dillinger Escape Plan), Static Dress, Zulu, Fury, Gel, Spy, and more.
Tickets go on presale Friday (10/13) at 10 AM PT, and you can sign up for the presale now.
