Sick New World plans massive 2026 festivals in Las Vegas Texas

The Sick New World festival is making a major comeback in 2026 with two full-scale events: one in Las Vegas on April 25 and the inaugural edition in Fort Worth, Texas on October 24. Both festivals will be headlined by System of a Down, with the Las Vegas lineup also featuring Korn, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, and many others, while the Fort Worth event showcases Deftones, Slayer performing 'Reign in Blood,' Evanescence, and more. The 2025 festival was canceled, but organizers have returned with expanded offerings and massive lineups celebrating nü-metal and alternative rock genres. Ticket presales for both events begin on October 23, with various ticket tiers including GA, VIP, and VIP Cabanas available. The festivals are set at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds and the Texas Motor Speedway, respectively, and are all-ages events with no camping options. These events highlight Sick New World's growth and resilience in the rock festival scene, promising diverse musical experiences for fans across two major U.S. cities.
