A blockbuster Las Vegas festival has been canceled, with promoters citing "unforeseen circumstances" as the reason for its demise. Sick New World, scheduled for April 12, 2025, at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, has been permanently canceled, disappointing fans who were anticipating performances from headliners Metallica and Linkin Park, each reportedly commanding $5 million fees.

Festival organizers announced the cancellation on their website, promising automatic refunds within 30 days for tickets purchased through Front Gate Tickets. The festival, which debuted in 2022 with System of a Down headlining, leaves questions about its future return unanswered.
