The band was formed in 1988 by frontman and vocalist Chris Moreno. The current lineup of the band also features lead guitarist Stephen Carpenter, drummer Abe Cunningham, and keyboardist Frank Delgado.
The band has released several hit singles over the years with the single Elite winning a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance in 2001. The song was featured on the band’s third album, White Pony, which is their highest selling album till date.
Also among the headliners is American rock band Incubus, who are set to separately hit the road for their 2023 tour from January 31 for four days. The band was formed by three high-school friends - vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer José Pasillas in 1991. Boyd released a new album earlier this year, titled Echoes & Cocoons.
As per reports, Sick New World Festival will also feature Death Grips, who are performing for the first time in four years, and Flyleaf, who will reunite with their original singer, Lacey Sturm, at the festival.
