Ups and Downs of Sick New World 2026

This is the year that Sick New World came back better than ever. After having to cancel 2025's iteration of the event, two years after the festival's debut, the future of Sick New World was uncertain. Clearly, we had nothing to worry about. Throughout September of 2025, there appeared to be teasers for Sick New World's return, where the festival's logos had appeared on screen at recent System of a Down shows. Then, the official website was updated, further fueling rumors. In October, the two locations for the 2026 renditions were unveiled: Las Vegas, NV and Fort Worth, TX. This would mark the first time that the festival would be hosted twice in the same year. Finally, at the end of October, the lineups for both editions were revealed to much fanfare. To no one's surprise, System of a Down was announced to headline both shows, while Korn was only playing in Las Vegas and Deftones only in Fort Worth. All three of these bands had performed at the inaugural Sick New World in 2023. The event has been praised for its nu metal representation over the years, but it is far from the only genre on the bill. Everything from metalcore, to thrash metal, to electronic, to goth, to hardcore, Sick New World is a blend of styles (much like nu metal itself) where there are artists to please many types of fans. While yes, bands from the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's are the main attraction for most, many newer up-and-coming bands are showcased as well.

Ginger Rogers got her start in Texas

Fourteen year old Ginger Rogers danced circles around the competition at the Baker Hotel in Dallas on Nov. 9, 1925 to win first place in the state Charleston contest. Virginia Katherine McMath was born in Independence, Missouri – Harry Truman’s hometown – but like most “naturalized” Texans came to the Lone Star State just as soon as she could. In the case of Ginger, a nickname from a cousin who could not pronounce “Virginia,” it was in 1922 at the age of 11 that she moved to Fort Worth with her mother and stepfather, John Rogers.
