Sick New World Texas 2026: System of a Down, Deftones

Sick New World is expanding to Texas in 2026, bringing a heavy lineup topped by System Of A Down and Deftones to Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth on Oct. 24.

The inaugural Sick New World Texas will also feature Slayer — performing Reign in Blood — along with Evanescence, The Prodigy, Marilyn Manson, Knocked Loose, AFI, Ministry, Mastodon, Power Trip and others, according to the announcement.

Fans can register for an access code to the presale, which begins Friday, Oct. 24 at 10 a.m. CT. A same-day public on-sale will follow for any remaining tickets.

Organizers say the Texas debut follows two sold-out editions of Sick New World in Las Vegas. The flagship event returns to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25, 2026, led by System Of A Down and KoRn with Bring Me The Horizon and more.
