Las Vegas is home to what appears to be an increasing number of niche music festivals. Stereogum staff just got back from the second-wave emo-heavy Best Friends Forever, and aughts pop-punk nostalgia will runneth over at When We Were Young this weekend. For those who like their music as heavy as their eyeliner, the third annual Sick New World will return to Sin City on Apr. 12, headlined by Metallica, Linkin Park (interesting choice!), and Acid Bath’s first show in nearly 30 years.
