After postponing its originally planned 2025 stop in the capital city, X Games is moving forward with its return to Sacramento this summer \u2014 now with a major music lineup attached.<\/p>\n
Organizers announced Wednesday that electronic music star Kaskade, Grammy-winning producer Mustard and DJ Subtronics will headline concerts during the debut of the MoonPay X Games League<\/a> at Cal Expo from June 26\u201328.<\/p>\n The announcement marks a significant step forward after X Games said last year it would delay its Sacramento debut to focus on launching its new team-based competition format, the X Games League, or XGL. At the time, CEO Jeremy Bloom described the move as a “strategic pause,” leaving questions about whether the city’s planned multi-year run would proceed.<\/p>\n Now, Sacramento is set to host the inaugural summer event for the new league, which will combine action sports competition with a festival-style experience.<\/p>\n According to organizers, more than 100 athletes will compete across skateboarding, BMX and Moto X events throughout the three-day competition, alongside nightly concerts and a large-scale fan festival known as X-Fest.<\/p>\n Kaskade is scheduled to headline Friday night, while Mustard and Subtronics will co-headline Saturday’s performances.<\/p>\n Bloom said the addition of major music acts reflects the broader vision for the new league, positioning the event as more than a traditional sports competition.<\/p>\n The event will feature 18 medal contests, including marquee competitions like BMX Park, Skateboard Street and Moto X Best Trick, spread across all three days.<\/p>\n In addition to the competitions and concerts, organizers say fans can expect immersive experiences throughout the festival grounds. Skateboarding star Nyjah Huston is also set to DJ a private kickoff event ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n Tickets for the event \u2014 including three-day passes, single-day admission and music-only options \u2014 are now on sale<\/a>, with organizers warning prices will increase as inventory becomes limited.<\/p>\n The X Games were originally slated to begin a three-year run in Sacramento<\/a> starting in 2025, before that initial event was postponed.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
