Sick New World Festival (Las Vegas) Tour

https://www.theprp.com/2022/11/06/n...o-play-2023-nu-metal-festival-sick-new-world/

Bands reportedly confirmed thus far:

System Of A Down
Incubus
Deftones
Korn
Evanescence
Chevelle

This may be the alternative/nu-metal version of When We Were Young

 

My wish list:
TrustCompany
Taproot
Reveille
36 Crazyfists (probably not going to happen)
Blindside
Crossfade reunion
Element Eighty
Onesidezero
Pulse Ultra
Switched

 

Don't really have a dog in this race (although I'm dying to see SOAD) but I could see these bands being added:

Seether
Three Days Grace
Smile Empty Soul
Trapt
Head PE
Papa Roach
Staind
Hoobastank

 

the website design is similar for wwwy so its def being put on by the same people who are doing wwwy

 

insanely stoked for this lol

 

At least 3 of these bands are MAGA heads or conspiracy nuts

 

Looks like Lacey is back with Flyleaf, they are both following the fest's IG page

 

Health is also following their IG

 

Tickets are on sale Friday $249

 

Picture is taken from alien ant farms Facebook page. Looks like they jumped the gun

 

Turnstile is everywhere ha. I get they blew up (still comparatively to being actually huge), but they must have one hell of an agent.

Also, this lineup is way weaker than I expected from the beginning so I no longer have FOMO. A lot of the nu-metal classics, are left off of here.

 

Officially Announced

 

Also how long does this mega 'genre' specific, nostalgia fueled fest trend last? A few years? I had a blast at wwwy and am happy to go again next year, but I also don't want every fest to be niche, targeted and a massive expense.

 

Temperature in Vegas in may is apparently already in the 100s

 

Yeah that sounds miserable in May. October-April is the only time a festival in Vegas doesn’t sound awful lol

 

Honestly this would've been better. RIP Aaron Carter

 

This seems less nu-metal and more mall goth.

 

This lineup is way better than I expected and I really wanna go haha

 

yeah it's definitely more hot topic mall goth than it is nu-metal. vampire freaks-core

 

I've been to PRB in May, it's not that bad.. can get hot, but no humidity

 

I keep getting reminded of this:

 

um where's Limp Bizkit

 

not really mall goth, and they had to cancel a tour recently due to illness.

 

They have to save some bands for 2024..

They should've booked Pantera, because I don't know if they will still be a thing in 2024

 

yeah the illness thing and them not on this lineup has me a bit concerned about Fred, hope he's Ok
