Sick New World is leveling up in 2026. The nu-metal and alternative festival phenomenon will return to Las Vegas on April 25, 2026, before making its debut in Texas later that year — bringing two full-scale events packed with some of heavy music’s biggest names.
The Las Vegas edition will once again take over the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, headlined by System Of A Down and Korn. This year’s bill also includes Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Danny Elfman, Ministry, AFI, Knocked Loose, Cypress Hill, Acid Bath, and dozens more. Fans can register now at SickNewWorldFest.com/Vegas for presale access beginning Thursday, October 23 at 10 a.m. PT, with remaining tickets going on public sale later that same day.
But the party doesn’t stop there — Sick New World Texas will make its first appearance October 24, 2026, at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. The Texas lineup is just as fierce, topped by Slayer, who will perform their legendary Reign In Blood in full. Joining them are EVANESCENCE, THE PRODIGY, Marilyn Manson, Knocked Loose, AFI, Ministry, Mastodon, Power Trip, and plenty more. Presale begins Friday, October 24 at 10 a.m. CT via SickNewWorldFest.com/Texas, followed by a same-day public sale.
A variety of ticket options are available — GA, GA+, VIP, and VIP Cabanas. GA+ guests get access to an exclusive lounge area with shaded seating and air-conditioned restrooms, while VIP perks include express entry, premium stage viewing, shaded lounges, and private merch tents. VIP Cabanas (21+) offer the ultimate experience for groups with a private viewing area, bottle service, food vouchers, and more.
Full details, ticket tiers, and amenities can be found at SickNewWorldFest.com/Vegas.
