When is X Games Minneapolis 2018? Full schedule, times and details included here.
The Summer X Games returns to Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the second year in a row when it touches down on July 19. The four-day event closes on the 22, but not before you get a series of extreme sporting events, live concerts and (if you’re there) some pretty rad swag booths.
The festivities kick off at U.S. Bank Stadium with X Fest opening at 6 p.m on Thursday night with skateboard and BMX vert competitions, which are open (and free) to the public.
Friday there will be BMX, Moto X and skateboarding events indoors at the US Bank Stadium as well as X Fest, which is touted as the world’s best action sports festival experience.
BMX, Moto X and skateboarding continue into Saturday, as does the X Fest, and Saturday night will include a live concert from Ice Cube and Brother Ali.
The final day of competition continues with BMX, Moto X, and skateboarding events, as well as the X Fest and a live concert from Zedd to close out the weekend.
Tickets to the event are still available here. Admission varies by day but generally, tickets start around $20 and go up to $300 for the XIP ultimate fan experience. You can even book a hotel room through the X Games!
All of the X Games competitions and surrounding events will be held at U.S. Bank Stadium (Home of the Minnesota Vikings), the Medtronic Plaza or Downtown East Commons Park.
