System Of A Down, Deftones, Slayer, Korn & More to Perform at 2026 ‘Sick New World’ Festivals
After numerous hints and clues, the lineup for the ‘Sick New World’ festival in 2026 has been officially announced. System Of A Down, who previously headlined the festival, will return as the main act this year. It has been hinted for months that they would be making a comeback, and fans can finally see them performing again. This upcoming festival will also mark the first time that the event expands to a new city – Fort Worth, TX.
The festival’s flagship edition will take place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25th, featuring a stellar lineup including Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, and more. Korn will be one of the notable performers at this Las Vegas event. On the other hand, the Fort Worth, TX location at the Texas Motor Speedway on October 24th will present a slightly different lineup, with Deftones as the second headlining band and Slayer performing to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their album “Reign In Blood.”
The unfortunate cancellation of the festival in 2025 due to overbooking and slow ticket sales did not deter the organizers, and they are coming back stronger this year. Fans can expect an exciting roster of artists at both locations. The Las Vegas event will see performances by a variety of bands including Bring Me The Horizon, Cypress Hill, Filter, and many more. Meanwhile, the Texas event will feature bands like The Prodigy, Power Trip, Boy Harsher, and others.
With a diverse lineup that caters to different tastes in music, the ‘Sick New World’ festival promises to be an electrifying experience for attendees. Fans eagerly anticipate the opportunity to see their favorite bands perform live once again after a hiatus. The pre-sale for tickets will be available to those who sign up for the newsletter, with early access starting soon.
As excited as fans are for the return of the ‘Sick New World’ festival, there has been some backlash surrounding the inclusion of Marilyn Manson in the lineup. Allegations against him during the pandemic have raised concerns among some potential festival-goers. Despite this controversy, the festival organizers are moving forward with their plans and are gearing up to deliver an unforgettable experience for music lovers.
The ‘Sick New World’ festival has become a staple event for fans of rock and metal music, and this year’s lineup promises to be no exception.
