X Games bolsters Copper’s Grand Prix with nightly live music from SunSquabi and Break Science
In partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, X Games announced the addition of free nightly live music to their newly unveiled Street Style Pro event.
Set to take place at Copper Mountain Resort in conjunction with the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix from Dec. 20-21, the X Games Street Style Pro will feature some of the best skiers and snowboarders competing under the lights on a unique, urban-inspired competition course.
Local electronic music favorites Break Science and SunSquabi will cap off the evening with free musical performances. This event is part of an ongoing partnership between X Games and U.S. Ski & Snowboard to provide more opportunities for action sports athletes to compete.
Break Science and SunSquabi will perform at Copper from 7:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 21, respectively. The two musical performances are expected to enhance the weekend of action sports competitions with a vibrant atmosphere. This year will mark the first time a Grand Prix has included live music since 2010.
The X Games Street Style Pro at Copper will complement the daytime Toyota U.S. Grand Prix halfpipe event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the same venue. X Games competitions will be held from 5-9 p.m. each evening, with music appearances from 7:30-8:45 p.m.
All the action will be free and open to the public.
The evening of Dec. 20 will feature emerging talent from the U.S. Revolution Tour, U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s development series, who will compete for a spot in the pro final on Dec. 21. Winners of the X Games Street Style Pro and Grand Prix halfpipe competitions at Copper Mountain will automatically qualify for X Games Aspen 2025, which is set to take place at Aspen’s Buttermilk Ski Resort from Jan. 23-25.
Additional details for the X Games Street Style Pro at Copper and X Games Aspen 2025 will be forthcoming and available on XGames.com.
