Sick New World debuted in 2023 with SYSTEM OF A DOWN headlining and returned this past April with a massive, sold-out crowd, with the same band topping the bill again along with dozens of other bands performing on five stages.

When the Sick New World organizers announced the 2024 lineup, they called the hard rock and alternative music festival’s inaugural year “meteorically successful”.
