For 25 years, Extreme Thing Sports & Music Festival has been part of the soundtrack of Las Vegas. What started in 2001 quickly grew into one of Southern Nevada’s most anticipated annual music and action sports festivals.

Extreme Thing became a place where punk, rock, hardcore, metal, alternative music and action sports collided for one unforgettable day.

Over the years, Extreme Thing brought together big names in alternative music alongside emerging artists, local bands, BMX, skateboarding, extreme sports, lifestyle brands and thousands of fans who came to be part of something that was uniquely Las Vegas.
