Today X Games announced the musical lineup for X Games Aspen 2020, the world’s top winter action sports, music and festival experience, taking over the iconic base of Buttermilk Mountain, January 23-26. The 2020 winter edition will further its 23-year legacy of providing a home for the world’s best athletes positioned alongside a top-tier billing of urban and electronic musical talent.
The X Games Aspen 2020 music lineup (by-day) is as follows:
Friday, January 24
Rae Sremmurd
Saturday, January 25
ILLENIUM
Alesso
Sunday, January 26
Bazzi
Leading the X Games Aspen 2020 lineup is Grammy nominated producer and electronic music titan Alesso. Over the years the Swedish star has collaborated with chart topping acts like Calvin Harris, Usher, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, and more, while delivering a bevy of genre bending solo work. These accomplishments have seen him takeover some of the festival circuit’s biggest stages at Coachella, Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Creamfields just to name a few.
Larger than life hop-hop duo Rae Sremmurd will make their X Games Aspen debut this January with their high energy antics and certified platinum trap anthems. Brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee rose to fame by way of their breakout single and subsequent cultural touchstone ‘No Flex Zone’ under the Ear Drummer Records banner. The track earned them instant status amongst hip-hop royalty with remixes from Nicki Minaj and Pusha-T and co-signs from the likes of Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, Juicy J and more.
Diverse musical programming continues with melodic bass producer ILLENIUM. Leading the live electronic music renaissance with adeptness for creating aural arrangements that vary in style, complexity, and emotional depth, ILLENIUM has developed a new sphere in which sound design can be crafted and experienced. This dedication to pushing sonic boundaries is put on full display in his live show, which incorporates keyboards, drum pads, and cutting-edge lighting and visuals, all of which combine to create an immersive experience. The show has touched down at globally renowned events like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, EDC, Decadence, Electric Forest, Paradiso, Coachella and many more. Last month, ILLENIUM’s third full-length album ASCEND dominated charts, capturing the premiere spot on Billboard’s Top Dance Albums Chart and iTunes Top Dance Albums Chart.
R&B/Pop superstar Bazzi will round out the X Games Aspen 2020 lineup with his captivating lyricism and infectious melodies. One of the biggest breakout artists as of recent, Bazzi catapulted into mega-status with his massive #1 hit “Mine,” now certified three-times platinum. Bazzi solidified his spot as music’s most promising newcomer with his follow-up hit “Beautiful” featuring chart-topping singer/songwriter Camila Cabello. Both tracks are found on Bazzi’s breakthrough debut album, ‘COSMIC,’ which has been streamed more than three billion times.
