Sick New World Festival Announces 2026 Dates with System of a Down, Slayer, Korn
A massive lineup of rock and metal icons will converge in Las Vegas and Fort Worth, Texas, for the Sick New World festival in October 2026.
The festival boasts a stacked roster including System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, Slayer, Evanescence, and many more. Events will be held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, Nevada, and at the Marine Creek Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas. The announcement follows initial teasers circulating earlier this week, confirming speculation about the festival’s return.
The Fort Worth event is scheduled for October 3-4, 2026, while the Las Vegas dates are October 10-11, 2026. This festival aims to fill a void for large-scale rock and metal gatherings, a genre often underserved by major music festivals like Coachella.
Further details regarding ticketing, stage schedules, and additional artists are expected to be released in the coming months. Organizers stated today that more information will be available soon on the festival’s official website, Sick New World Fest.
