Ladies and gentlemen, turn up your amplifiers.
Fort Worth’s Texas Motor Speedway will be hosting a lot of loud and fast metal next year, and we’re not talking about NASCAR.
Sick New World, a music based in Las Vegas, is expanding to Texas next year. The daylong festival will be Oct. 24, 2026, at the racetrack. Lineups for that concert and the Las Vegas festival on April 25.

A ticket presale starts at 10 a.m. Friday at sicknewworldfest.com. Sign up here.
System of a Down also will headline the Vegas festival along with Korn and Bring Me the Horizon.
