📋About
Sick New World Texas 2026: heavy music comes to Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth for the first time
On 24 October 2026, Sick New World plugs in at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas — not in Las Vegas, which remains the festival's other chapter: the official site gives each of the two cities its own page. Local press describes the day as the inaugural Sick New World in Texas.
More than 50 acts are announced, according to press coverage. System of a Down, Deftones and Slayer, who will play the album Reign in Blood, lead the bill alongside The Prodigy, Marilyn Manson, Evanescence and Knocked Loose. Slayer shares the day with the industrial grind of Ministry, the sludge of Mastodon and the punk-rock of AFI.
The line-up spans metal, hardcore, nu metal and alternative rock: Underoath, Wage War, Norma Jean, Kittie and Coal Chamber round out a single-day bill.
On the practical side, the official site lists hotel packages bundled with the ticket, locker reservations with device charging, online wristband activation and the 2026 food and beverage vendors. See you on 24 October 2026 at Texas Motor Speedway; everything is on sicknewworldfest.com/texas.
