X Games highlights the inherent link between music and sports through a special festival experience with Kaskade.
The chart-topping DJ and producer will perform Saturday night at X Games Ventura 2024, which will take place June 28-30 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in Southern California. He returns after sweeping the 2018 and 2023 X Games in Aspen.
“Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, my favorite thing to do when I wasn't looking for music was go out and skate the streets of the city,” Kaskade said in a press release. “Half of the sport was seeing how long I could last without getting kicked out of my favorite places. I never would have dreamed that snowboarding, BMX, skateboarding and all the other incredible sports celebrated at the X Games would be so amplified and that I might join. It's a great honor to play again, I hope to see you all there!”
Eight other musicians will take the stage over the weekend, including hip-hop icon Wiz Khalifa on Friday night. The rest of the lineup will be announced later, and organizers have curated “a diverse mix of genres, from rock and hip-hop to electronica and more, with a few surprises in store,” according to Rich Bigge, vice president of Live Events at X Games.

“We have doubled the size of this event, making it possible to have a proper stage experience and music throughout the venue,” Bigge said. “There is such a natural connection between sport and music, so it was a priority for us to be able to bring it back this summer with some really big names.”
This year marks the debut of a number of new medal events, including women's BMX. The event will also host interactive fan experiences and offer enhanced viewing options.
Tickets for X Games Ventura 2024 are now available here. General admission passes will grant access to all musical performances as well as competition viewing on a first-come, first-served basis.
