Extreme Thing, the all-ages sports and music festival, will return to Desert Breeze Park’s Events Center on March 20, 2027, marking its first Las Vegas appearance in a decade and celebrating 25 years since its debut.
After a ten-year absence, Extreme Thing is set to make its comeback in Las Vegas, with organizers confirming the festival’s return for its 25th anniversary on March 20, 2027.

The festival has previously drawn large crowds eager to see acts like Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Religion, Bring Me the Horizon, Hollywood Undead, Taking Back Sunday, and The Used across multiple stages. Its all-ages format and energetic atmosphere have made it a memorable event for local audiences.
What to Expect in 2027
The 2027 edition aims to introduce a new generation to the festival’s unique mix of live music and extreme sports. With Blackpath Booking’s involvement, attendees can expect a lineup that highlights both established and up-and-coming artists from the heavier end of the music spectrum.
