Sick New World festival announces Las Vegas sideshows

Ready for some nü metal at a swimming pool?

That’s a rhetorical question this time of year, as the Sick New World sideshows have been announced.

Among the concerts that will take place the night before the massive heavy music gathering returns to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25 are rap-rockers P.O.D. performing with Alien Ant Farm, a reunited Snot and Teenwolf at the official pre-party event at AYU Night Swim at Resorts World Las Vegas on April 24.

Other shows include metalcore favorites Poison The Well with Terror, Pain of Truth and End It at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay and progressive metallers Mastodon with Melvins and Flatwounds at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, both on April 24 as well.

Tickets for these side shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at ticketmaster.com/explore/snwsideshowsvegas.
