Sick New World Festival Roars Back with Stacked 2026 Lineups
24 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Sick New World Festival canceled in 2025, now returning in 2026
- Lineups announced for shows in Las Vegas and Fort Worth, Texas
- System of a Down, Deftones, Slayer among headliners
In a surprising turn of events, the organizers of the Sick New World Festival have announced the lineups for the festival's 2026 editions. The festival, which was canceled last year due to low ticket sales, is set to make a comeback with shows in Las Vegas and Fort Worth, Texas.
The Las Vegas show is scheduled for April 25 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, while the Texas show will take place on October 24th at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Headlining the festival will be System of a Down, who were the headliners of the first two editions in 2023 and 2024. They will be joined by a diverse lineup of rock and metal acts, including Korn, Bring Me the Horizon, Ministry, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, and many others.
The inaugural Fort Worth edition will feature an equally impressive lineup, with System of a Down, Deftones, Slayer, Evanescence, Ministry, and more taking the stage. Organizers are hoping that the return of the festival, coupled with these high-profile acts, will help revive the event's popularity and draw in large crowds.
