Sick New World is officially back. After the 2025 edition got scrapped, the fest returns to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25, 2026, and the lineup is exactly the kind of beautiful chaos you want from this thing.
System Of A Down and Korn are headlining. Behind them: Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Danny Elfman, Knocked Loose, Ministry, AFI, Cypress Hill, Acid Bath, Underoath, Coal Chamber, Clutch, Glassjaw, Static-X, Sevendust, Mastodon, Kittie, Filter, Alien Ant Farm, Lords of Acid, and Snot. That is not a lineup, that is a group chat of every band that raised you.
And because one day in the desert apparently is not enough, there is a second edition. Sick New World Texas hits the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth on October 24, with System Of A Down again, plus Deftones and Slayer playing Reign In Blood front to back for its 40th anniversary.
Two Sick New Worlds in one year. Somebody pinch me.
