With heavy hearts, we announce the cancellation of the highly awaited Sick New World Festival 2025, scheduled to take place on April 12th in Las Vegas. The organizers announced that it was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances that they were unable to overcome.
The lineup for Sick New World 2025 was nothing short of spectacular, with headliners such as Metallica and Linkin Park, plus a much-anticipated reunion of Acid Bath, who hadn’t performed in nearly 30 years. Fans were also looking forward to seeing Tomahawk and Dir En Grey, so the cancellation was all the more disappointing.
In a statement, organizers said thanks from the heart to all Sick New World fans who planned to celebrate the culture of hard rock, goth, alternative, and heavy music. They said tickets purchased through Front Gate Tickets would automatically be refunded within 30 days.
While the cancellation is undoubtedly a disappointment, we are optimistic about future versions of Sick New World. Keep an eye out for further updates and information concerning the festival’s return.
