After Sick New World was canceled in 2025, fans worried that the heavy-hitting festival may never return. Fear not! Organizers have just revealed plans for two versions of Sick New World in 2026, and the lineups are impressive.
The first event will take place in Las Vegas, the same location as previous years. The one-day fest will be held on April 25 at the Las Vegas festival showgrounds, with System of a Down, Korn, and Bring Me the Horizon among the acts.
The second version of Sick New World will be held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth on October 24. System of a Down will again be among the headliners, along with Deftones and Slayer. Evanescence, AFI, Marilyn Manson, Knocked Loose, Mastodon, Underoath, Ministry, and Filter are among the acts who will pull double duty, performing at both versions of the festival.
Tickets for both Sick New World dates will soon be available through the festival’s website. The pre-sale for Las Vegas will take place on October 23 at 10AM PT, while pre-sale for the Texas date is set for October 24 at 10AM CT. There are both general admission and VIP packages along with special offers that include hotel packages available as well.
