About X Games Minneapolis

The history of the X Games goes back to 1995, when the first games took place in Newport, Rhode Island. The event marked the arrival of extreme sports as a major part of American culture, and the X Games' role in American life has expanded exponentially ever since. Over the years, this expansion has seen the games grow to include events in other parts of the world, as well as annual summer and winter games in the U.S. Intense action sports such as ice climbing, snocross, vert skating, bungee jumping, mountain biking, BMX freestyle, Moto X, and skateboarding are just a few. Locations for the U.S. summer games have included San Diego, Philly, L.A., and Austin, but 2017 saw the start of a long run in Minneapolis, which makes perfect sense. After all, when you think about wintry weather, isn't that one of the cities that looms largest in your mind? In addition to BMX, Moto X, and skateboard events, the 2017 Minneapolis games at U.S. Bank Stadium featured music by Flume, Atmosphere, and A Day to Remember, while 2018 musical artists were Ice Cube, Kaskade, Brother Ali, and Zedd. When the 2019 Minneapolis games were announced, lovers of action sports and music had even more cause to celebrate, as this four-day iteration of the event promised a newly expanded musical lineup: a roster including Chevy Metal, SWMRS, Wu-Tang Clan, P.O.S., Diplo, Incubus, and The Blind Shake, bringing hip-hop, heavy rock, and more together under the X Games banner. The news that the 2020 summer games would take place in Minneapolis as well just cemented that city's place in the history of the event. Of course, wherever the location and whatever the season, the X Games can always be counted on for one crucial element: excitement.
