Sick New World updates
Sick New World released set times and revised its Las Vegas lineup for the April 25 comeback, confirming the festival after its 2025 cancellation and announcing the schedule on April 13 ( ). Important swaps: Better Lovers, Scowl, and KMFDM were pulled and replaced by Deafheaven, Showing Teeth, and Flatwounds — a lineup shuffle that matters if you’re planning to catch specific bands (lambgoat.com).
Sick New World has posted set times for its April 25 return in Las Vegas and quietly reshuffled part of the bill days before gates open. (sicknewworldfest.com) The one-day festival is set for Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Las Vegas Festival Grounds, with System Of A Down closing the Purple Stage at 10:25 p.m. and Korn closing the Green Stage at 9:00 p.m. (sicknewworldfest.com) The updated schedule shows three lineup swaps: Better Lovers, Scowl, and KMFDM are off the bill, while Deafheaven, Showing Teeth, and Flatwounds have been added. Lambgoat reported the changes on April 13 after the revised daily schedule went live. (lambgoat.com) The replacements were slotted into early and mid-evening sets on the Diablo Stage, with Flatwounds at 11:40 a.m., Showing Teeth at 12:05 p.m., and Deafheaven at 5:55 p.m. The same stage now ends with Underoath at 9:25 p.m. (sicknewworldfest.com) The schedule drop also confirms that Sick New World is back after skipping 2025. The festival’s official site now lists the Las Vegas date as active, after organizers announced in 2024 that the 2025 edition would not happen. (sicknewworldfest.com, theprp.com) That matters for fans who bought travel around specific sets, because the event runs as a single-day, multi-stage festival with overlapping performances from late morning through the night. The posted timetable starts at 11:10 a.m. on the Purple Stage and ends at 11:50 p.m. with System Of A Down. (sicknewworldfest.com) Beyond the headliners, the top lines of the day include Bring Me The Horizon at 7:55 p.m. on Purple, Evanescence at 6:50 p.m. on Green, and Danny Elfman at 9:30 p.m. on Spiral. Ministry, Marilyn Manson, Knocked Loose, Acid Bath, Cypress Hill, and Glassjaw are also on the posted running order. (theprp.com) The revised timetable also keeps a billed collaboration on the schedule: Terror x Pain Of Truth plays the Diablo Stage at 6:30 p.m. That set sits between Deafheaven and Superheaven in one of the day’s denser heavy-music blocks. (lambgoat.com, sicknewworldfest.com) For now, the practical update is simple: the festival is on, the set times are public, and anyone planning April 25 around Better Lovers, Scowl, or KMFDM will need a new map of the day.
