Clear your schedule for a year from now. Seriously. The heaviest rock music event to hit North Texas since (maybe) Ozzfest<\/a> is coming to Dallas-Fort Worth, and you\u2019ll want to be there, even if it means you have to \u201cpull the tapeworm out of your ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Oct. 24, 2026, Sick New World Fest will transform the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth<\/a> into a mosher\u2019s paradise. The inaugural Texas stop for the festival brings an absolutely stacked lineup that feels pulled straight from a 2002 time capsule, and we mean that as the highest compliment. The fest is headlined by nu-metal gods System of a Down and Deftones, alongside the legendary thrash titans Slayer, who will be performing their iconic album Reign in Blood in its entirety.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not enough to make you dust off your old chain wallet, the undercard is a dream for anyone who ever owned a 97.1 The Eagle sticker. Evanescence will be there to bring you to life, flanked by industrial pioneers Ministry, goth-punk heroes AFI and the one and highly controversial Marilyn Manson.<\/p>\n

The lineup continues its relentless assault with The Prodigy, Clutch, Knocked Loose, Mastodon and a highly anticipated hometown set from Power Trip<\/a>. It\u2019s a roster so deep with fan favorites like P.O.D., Kittie, Orgy and Alien Ant Farm that you\u2019ll be running between stages like you\u2019re in a NASCAR race.<\/p>\n

Sick New World Las Vegas<\/p>\n

After a rocky 2025 that saw the festival face some logistical hurdles and fan backlash, Sick New World is roaring back with not one, but two massive events for 2026: its original Las Vegas edition on April 25, 2026, and this brand-new Texas blowout. It seems they\u2019ve pushed aside the toxicity and are ready to change things up.<\/p>\n

Prepare for a full day of controlled chaos, blistering guitar solos and a collective scream-along that will likely be heard from space. Call it a pilgrimage for generations of rock and metal fans who grew up with these bands as their soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Sick New World Texas Tickets<\/p>\n

The presale for tickets begins this Friday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. You can\u2014and should\u2014sign up for a presale access code right now at sicknewworldfest.com\/texas<\/a>. And here\u2019s a bonus: layaway plans are available for all ticket types, making it even easier to secure your spot.<\/p>\n

Given the caliber of this lineup, waiting for the public on-sale later that day might be a bigger gamble than betting on a longshot at the speedway. So, you got a year to grow your hair out, grab your Tripp pants and get ready to jump around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas takes center stage as one of only two spots in the nation hosting the epic Sick New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[577,116,118,117,12021,3503,2174],"class_list":{"0":"post-14803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-festivals","9":"tag-fort-worth","10":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","11":"tag-fort-worth-news","12":"tag-metal","13":"tag-rock-music","14":"tag-touring-artists"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
