As usual, the undercard is packed with cult classics like X, Refused, Quicksand, Melvins and Cannibal Corpse, plus scene veterans like Underoath, Mudvayne, Kittie, Orgy, Lacuna Coil and Stabbing Westward. Louisiana sludge metal band Acid Bath also reunites at Sick New World for their first performance since 1997.

Since launching in 2023, Sick New World has hosted some of the few System of a Down performances of the past five years. “I had more fun there than on many other tours, and that’s why we’re doing it again,” frontman Serj Tankian told SPIN after the first edition. “It was great. We’ve rehearsed just enough to know our chops, and then the rest, who the fuck knows? Let’s see what happens on stage.”
