Sick New World Festival Expanding to Texas in 2025
Organizers of the Sick New World music festival are planning to host events in both Las Vegas and a newly announced location in Texas in 2025, according to updates to the festival’s official website.
The festival website now features separate landing pages for both locations, offering visitors the opportunity to sign up for email or text updates regarding the Texas event. While specific dates for the Texas festival have not been released, the expansion signals increased confidence in the event’s potential following a previous attempt that was ultimately canceled. This comes as music festival attendance has been steadily rising post-pandemic, making the market competitive.
The original Sick New World festival was previously canceled due to insufficient ticket sales, a situation attributed to lineup overlap with other established festivals at a lower price point. Details regarding the Texas location and lineup remain undisclosed, but the move suggests organizers have re-evaluated their strategy.

The success of the expanded festival hinges on attracting a sufficient audience and delivering a unique experience, avoiding comparisons to the disastrous Fyre Festival. Organizers have not yet commented on the expansion plans, but further details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
