Superstar metallurgists Metallica will headline next year’s Sick New World festival on April 12, 2025 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The festival will serve as the kickoff for a new long of Metallica’s M72 World Tur, which it launched in 2023.
The last time Metallica performed in town, in February 2022, it headlined what became the largest metal concert in Las Vegas history when it sold out Allegiant Stadium
The other acts on the lineup won’t be announced for a few more weeks, along with ticket info.
Not-So-New Kids
as New Kids on the Block will perform their first Las Vegas residency at Park MGM’s Dolby Live over 16 dates next year. Dubbed “The Right Stuff,” it will feature the entire original lineup: Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood.
The last time NKOTB played in Las Vegas was July 10-13, 2014 in Planet Hollywood on their “Block After Dark” tour.
This time, the dates will be June 20, 21, 25, 27 and 28; July 2, 3 and 5; and Nov. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14 and 15.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. PT this morning here.
Anti-F1 Festival Sets Headliners
Let’s be honest. The Neon City Festival , taking place Nov. 22-24, is downtown Las Vegas’s eff-you to F1.
It was conceived of by Derek Stevens — co-owner of Circa, the Golden Gate and the D – only because last year’s inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix not only ignored downtown but cut it entirely off from the rest of Las Vegas — and its usual gaming and entertainment revenue.
So if the headliners the festival announced on Thursday night don’t impress you because they’re not household names yet, just realize that this festival — presented in partnership with all the downtown casinos — embodies the rebel, underdog spirit of rock n’ roll probably better than any concert staged in Las Vegas since the ‘60s.
OK, time to be unimpressed by the lineup now. Its biggest names are Utah pop-rockers Neon Trees, Seattle rapper Macklemore, Australian DJ Alison Wonderland, country-pop crooner Russell Dickerkson and adventurous DJ/producer Seven Lions.
These and dozens of other acts will perform on four stages — three on the Fremont Street Experience and one at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.
Neon City will be free and open to all ages. Visit neoncityfestival.com for more information.
