Sick New World expands to Texas

A major hard rock and metal takeover is headed to Fort Worth: Sick New World — previously a Las Vegas–only event — will make its Texas debut at Texas Motor Speedway on October 24, 2026.

More than 50 bands are set to hit the stage, with heavyweight headliners including System of a Down, Deftones, Slayer, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, The Prodigy, Mastodon, Clutch, Failure, the Melvins, and more.

The Las Vegas edition, happening six months earlier on April 25, will feature much of the same roster, though not every act will appear at both stops.

Fans can sign up now at SickNewWorldFest.com/Texas for the official newsletter and SMS list to receive an access code for the presale beginning Friday, October 24 at 10 am. A same-day public on-sale will follow for any remaining tickets.
