Psycho Las Vegas At Resort World August 19-21

Psycho Las Vegas will bring its sixth edition to a new site on the Las Vegas Strip, festival organizers have announced—and it just happens to be the Strip’s newest property: Resorts World.

The three-day gathering, which focuses on metal and psychedelic music with a sprinkling of other genres, will run August 19-21 this year, with a Psycho Swim pre-party set for August 18.

Psycho debuted at the Hard Rock Hotel in 2018, spending its first three years there before moving to Mandalay Bay for its 2019 and 2021 editions.

Also unveiled: more than 50 acts on the bill, topped by Danish metal veterans Mercyful Fate, longtime California band Suicidal Tendencies and Norwegian metal favorites Emperor.

Among other notable names on the lineup are Wu-Tang Clan rappers GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, LA indie rockers Warpaint, U.S. stoner-rock survivors Monster Magnet, English death-metal band Carcass, Japanese drone-rock outfit Boris, Brooklyn black-metal act Liturgy and singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler.

Tickets for the festival cost $349 plus taxes and fees and can be purchased at vivapsycho.com. Psycho Swim passes ($99 plus taxes and fees) are available at the same site.
