Sick New World is a fully stacked rock festival that is set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, next year.

Like the Las Vegas-held emo-punk festival When We Were Young, Sick New World’s bill is filled to the brim with top-tier bands, all of whom stretch across over three decades of rock music. The festival seeks to differentiate itself from When We Were Young by focusing on hard rock and metal bands, specifically with its headliners. Additionally, the festival is trying to provide younger bands with better positioning on the bill, showcasing bands such as Tunstile, Spiritbox, Scowl, and Fiddlehead, among others. However, Sick New World banking on the same mid-90s to early 2000’s nostalgia that was seen at this year’s When Were Young Festival, albeit catering towards the heavy music crowd.

When Will The Madness Take Place?

This nu-metal fest will arrive on Saturday, May 13th, 2023, at the Las Vega Festival Grounds. System of a Down, Korn, Kittie, Deftones Incubus, Death Grips, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Evanescence, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Cradle of Filth, Filter, Ministry, The Sisters Mercy, Body Count, tons more will be performing!

It will be interesting to see how Sick New World stacks up against When We Were Young, which coincidentally has already been booked for 2023. The festival promoters and organizers are likely planning to make Sick New World an annual festival attraction that caters to a specific era of rock, similar to When We Were Young.

However, a problem with festivals like Sick New World is their heavy emphasis on nostalgia. This can bury the chances of newer acts like Turnstile being showcased as headliners, which is ultimately what rock music should be focused on right now. While it makes sense for these festivals to book legacy acts as headliners, it is essential to remember that rock music is going through a monumental shift. Rock’s legacy acts are slowly retiring, and there seems to be a lack of risk-taking from these festivals in terms of platforming newer bands as headliners. The question remains, who is the next generation of rock, punk, and metal headliners? While this question is undoubtedly being explored, there is no clear answer.
