Fort Worth Speedway Interactive Map and Photos

Fort Worth's speedway was huge, luckily I was able to take photos to give you, fellow festival goer, an inside scoop of the destinations. Since it was Sick New World's First year in Texas, I wasn't sure how they would lay out the entire festival. I was very pleased, since it was also my first time in Fort worth, to find that the festival grounds were huge. Especially with all the back and forth I had to do to see my favorite bands. Overall, a perfect stadium for such a huge festival.

Boots on the Ground

Blue Stage

At the Gold Stage is where all the fun really happened. It was one of the main stages for the headliners, since it would usually switch between Gold and Blue stage towards the end of the show. Which meant all you needed was to turn your feet and you'd already be viewing the Blue Stage. Luckily I was able to get a good view the first two shows of Sick New World. Once I got through the main gates I was able to see, "Filter" as my first show at 1pm. This main stage would be the main stage for "System of a Down","Marilyn Manson", and "Slayer" towards the end of the festival.

Gold Stage

The Gold stage was the other main stage which was right next to the Blue Stage. At this far end of the stage, which was at the corner of the festival grounds, it was also one of the main stages used for the headliners. At 2pm, after "Filter" I was able to view "P.O.D", which was great since both stages are together, I could just adjust my body towards the right since I was already at the edge of the barricade. The headliners for this stage were "Evanescense" and "Deftones". I wasn't able to get lucky twice with getting close to barricade, but I think I got good enough views of the stage, that it makes up for it.

Spiral Stage

The Spiral Stage, was the stage I spent the most time at. I saw about four shows back to back, between 3pm to 7pm when "Evanecense" played at the Blue Stage. This stage was the farthest from the main stage and took about ten minutes to travel to after leaving the Blue stage. This stage also hosted my favorite band "She Wants Revenge" at 5pm, where I got so close to the barricade there was only two people that stopped me from reaching the gate. At this stage bands like "Lords of Acid", "Twin Tribes", "Coal Chamber", "Melvins", and "She Wants Revenge" played. Each time a band ended I got a little closer to the stage, so that was amazing and helped me get closer to the band I wanted to see.
