Sick New World returns with dual 2026 festivals in Las Vegas and Fort Worth
Las Vegas metal festival Sick New World returns in 2026 after organizers canceled this year’s event weeks following the lineup announcement. The April 25 show at Las Vegas Festival Grounds features System Of A Down and Korn as headliners alongside Bring Me The Horizon and Evanescence. A separate October 24 event at Texas Motor Speedway pairs System Of A Down with Deftones and Slayer.
Both festivals feature industrial and hardcore acts, including Ministry and Knocked Loose. The Vegas date adds Cypress Hill and Danny Elfman, while Fort Worth books the Prodigy and Power Trip. Marilyn Manson appears on both bills despite recent controversies. The single-day events replace the multi-day format originally planned before the 2025 cancellation, attributed to unspecified circumstances.
