The Sick New World 2026 lineup has arrived, and it’s massive.
Next year, the one-day rock and metal festival will take place in two cities: Las Vegas on April 25 and Texas on October 24. The new Texas edition will be held at the Texas Motor Speedway.
The announcement comes a year after organizers canceled the 2025 event due to unforeseen issues.
Headliners and Lineups
System Of A Down will headline both shows.
The Las Vegas lineup includes KoRn, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, AFI, Knocked Loose, Danny Elfman, Acid Bath, Cypress Hill, Melvins, Mastodon, and Underoath.
In Texas, fans will see Deftones, Slayer (celebrating Reign In Blood’s 40th anniversary), The Prodigy, Evanescence, Power Trip, Ministry, AFI, Mastodon, Knocked Loose, Underoath, Clutch, Down, and Melvins.
Ticket Information
Pre-sale access for Las Vegas begins at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday, October 23. Fans can sign up through the festival’s website.
The Texas pre-sale opens at the same time on Friday, October 24. Registration is available online as well.
Band Updates
System Of A Down recently announced a UK and European stadium tour with Queens Of The Stone Age. The run includes two huge London shows, marking the band’s first UK performances since 2017.
Bring Me The Horizon will kick off their ‘Ascension Program 2’ North American tour in 2026. They’re also set to play Rock For People, Nova Rock, and Tons Of Rock next summer.
Deftones released Private Music earlier this year and wrapped up a sold-out North American tour. They’ll return to Europe and the UK in early 2026.
The Return of Sick New World
When organizers called off Sick New World 2025, they thanked fans for their support and vowed to return stronger.
Now, with a lineup spanning metal, goth, industrial, and alternative rock, Sick New World 2026 is back — and it looks ready to reclaim its spot as one of the year’s biggest heavy music festivals.
