Las Vegas nu metal festival Sick New World has announced the cancellation of its 2025 edition due to "unforeseen circumstances."
Organizers wrote in a post:
It is with great disappointment that we announce that Sick New World will no longer take place in Las Vegas on April 12, 2025. Despite our best efforts, we've encountered unforeseen circumstances that we are unable to overcome for next year's show. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated SNW fans who had made plans to join us for another cultural celebration of hard rock, goth, alternative, and heavy music. Please stay tuned for further and future information regarding Sick New World. Tickets purchased directly from Front Gate Tickets will be automatically refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days.
The festival had only just revealed its lineup in October. Metallica, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Queens of the Stone Age and more were set to perform.
