Set Times & Lineup Changes Announced For 2026 ‘Sick New World’ Festival In Las Vegas

The full set times and updated lineup for the 2026 edition of Sick New World in Las Vegas have officially been revealed, giving fans a complete breakdown of how the massive nü-metal and alternative heavy music event will unfold next weekend at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.

This year’s flagship edition, taking place April 25th, is once again headlined by System Of A Down and Korn, with the festival continuing its reputation as one of the most stacked alternative-heavy lineups in North America.

Alongside the schedule reveal, several notable lineup changes have also been confirmed. Better Lovers have officially withdrawn from the bill following the departure of vocalist Greg Puciato earlier this year, while KMFDM have also stepped down due to severe illness. In addition, Scowl are no longer appearing, following a broader reduction in their 2026 touring plans.

Filling the gaps are Deafheaven, Showing Teeth, and Flatwounds, ensuring the festival’s four-stage format remains fully loaded across the entire day.

One of the more notable additions to the schedule is a collaborative set from Terror and Pain Of Truth, who are also set to tour together this spring.
