Sick New World Texas brings System of a Down to Fort Worth
The Texas Motor Speedway’s festival announcement places the event at the Fort Worth venue and lists System of a Down among more than 50 scheduled performers. Sick New World Texas is the festival’s first expansion beyond its Las Vegas editions, with the programme spread across two stages.
Louder Sound’s line-up report names System of a Down and Deftones as headliners. The announced bill also includes Slayer, Evanescence, The Prodigy, AFI, Ministry, Mastodon and Power Trip.
The Armenian-American quartet behind System of a Down
System of a Down are an Armenian-American quartet from Glendale, California, built around vocalist Serj Tankian, guitarist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan. An ABC Double J band biography describes their music through metal and Armenian or Eastern European folk elements.
The Fort Worth booking places an Armenian-American metal quartet on a bill spanning nu-metal, industrial, alternative and hardcore music. That combination connects the group’s established sound with the broad heavy-music identity of Sick New World Texas.
Sick New World adds a Toxicity gallery in Fort Worth
The performance will have a companion exhibition element. Kerrang’s festival details describe a Toxicity Vault, a curated gallery marking 25 years of the band’s landmark album with memorabilia and interactive displays.
Slayer are scheduled to perform Reign in Blood, while the wider bill brings together established metal, alternative and hardcore acts across the Fort Worth festival site.
