Las Vegas nü-metal-and-more festival Sick New World has been teasing its return for 2026 after having its 2025 edition cancelled, with teasers popping up at System of a Down‘s stadium shows and an updated website offering a mailing list sign up. SOAD headlined every edition of the festival that’s happened so far (they weren’t on the lineup for the cancelled 2025 fest, though), which is another reason it’s not surprising that Serj Tankian confirmed that the band would be there in 2026. He told a fan at a signing for his new art book Visual Resonance at his Los Angeles cafe Kavat:
Serj confirms snw 2026 and they’ll be there.
