In a statement posted on social media yesterday (November 29), the festival said that “Despite our best efforts, we’ve encountered unforeseen circumstances that we are unable to overcome for next year’s show. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated SNW fans who had made plans to join us for another cultural celebration of hard rock, goth, alternative, and heavy music. Please stay tuned for further and future information regarding Sick New World.”

The third edition of the Las Vegas event would have featured co-headliners Metallica and Linkin Park alongside the likes of Evanescence, Queens Of The Stone Age and AFI.
