Sick New World Plans Dual 2026 Festivals Featuring System Of A Down, Korn, Slayer Across Las Vegas, Texas

The Sick New World festival is set to return in 2026 with two major events: the original Las Vegas edition on April 25 and a new Texas edition on October 24 at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. The Las Vegas lineup is headlined by System Of A Down and Korn, with additional acts including Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Danny Elfman, Knocked Loose, Ministry, AFI, Cypress Hill, and more. The Texas event will be headlined by System Of A Down and Deftones, with Slayer celebrating 40 years of their album "Reign In Blood," along with Evanescence, The Prodigy, Marilyn Manson, AFI, Ministry, Knocked Loose, Mastodon, and Power Trip. Both festivals offer various ticket options, including GA, GA+, VIP, and VIP Cabanas, each with different amenities. Presales start October 23 for Las Vegas and October 24 for Texas, with signups available on the official Sick New World website. This two-pronged festival comeback follows the cancellation of the 2025 edition due to overbooking and slow ticket sales, marking a strong return for the event with an expansive, star-studded lineup.
