We knew Metallica was the headliner.

Now we know the rest of Sick New World’s 2025 lineup.

And it’s a doozy.

Among the bands set to perform at the heavy music fest’s return April 12 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds: Linkin Park with their new singer Emily Armstrong, rockers Queens of the Stone Age, goth punks AFI, Swedish prog-metallers Meshuggah, industrial metallers Ministry, alt-rockers the Flaming Lips, reunited sludge metallers Acid Bath, punk rockers The Hives, their fellow Swedes Refused on their farewell and dozens more, covering death metal (Cannibal Corpse, Carcass), black metal (Mayhem, Cradle of Filth), thrash (Exodus, Testament), noisy outliers (Tomahawk, Melvins) and many more.

Now in its third year, Sick New World has become one of the country’s leading hard music festivals.
