X Games is highlighting the inherent link between music and sports by virtue of a special festival experience featuring Kaskade.

The chart-topping DJ and producer will perform on Saturday night of X Games Ventura 2024, which is taking place from June 28-30 at SoCal’s Ventura County Fairgrounds. He returns after throwing down at the X Games in 2018 and 2023 in Aspen.

“Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago my favorite thing to do when I wasn’t crate digging for music was to go out and skate on the streets of the city,” Kaskade said in a press release. “Half of the sport was seeing how long I could go without getting kicked out of my favorite spots. I would never have dreamed that snowboarding, BMX, skateboarding and all the other amazing sports that are celebrated within the X Games would be so amplified and that I would get to join in. It’s such an honor to be playing again, looking forward to seeing everyone there!”

Eight other musicians will take the stage throughout the weekend, including hip-hop icon Wiz Khalifa on Friday night. The rest of the lineup will be announced at a later date and organizers have curated “a diverse mix of genres, from rock and hip-hop to electronic and beyond, 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 as well as music throughout the venue,” Bigge said. “There is such a natural connection between sports 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 medaled events, including Women’s BMX. The event will also host interactive fan experiences and offer improved viewing options.
