With sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand, the international tour is being billed as the "greatest live action sports show of all time" for its stunning choreographed displays in FMX, BMX and skate, as well as world-first stunts and crazy contraptions launched off the infamous 50-foot high Nitro Giganta Ramp, all performed by the best action sports stars on the planet.

Presented by a coalition of S2BN Entertainment, Global Action Sports and Godfrey Entertainment, the Las Vegas event also will serve as the stage for a portion of the filming of the 3-D Nitro Circus movie, scheduled to be released in early 2012.

A limited pre-sale for the MGM Grand Garden Arena event in Las Vegas will be available only through Ticketmaster from Friday, April 8 at 10 a.m. to Sunday, April 10 at 10 p.m. PDT.  The general public on-sale begins Monday, April 11 at 12 p.m. PDT.

Seventeen-time X Games medalist and current gold medalist in FMX Travis Pastrana (USA) will headline the show along with the entire Nitro crew as well as the current X Games gold medalists in all three Big Air disciplines – Australia's Jake Brown (skate), America's Chad Kagy (BMX) and Australia's Cam Sinclair (FMX Biggest trick).

Pastrana said, "We have some incredible stunts planned for the Nitro show in Vegas which have never been performed before anywhere in the world and are unlikely to be attempted ever again. Almost 10 world firsts have been thrown down during our tours in Australia and New Zealand and we are going to try and match that in this one-off show. You really don't want to miss it."

Chairman and CEO of S2BN Entertainment Michael Cohl said, "The response to the tour has been huge and the massive fan base behind Nitro Circus has turned out in full force to watch these guys push all the boundaries, reinvent reality and break all the rules in the meantime. We're psyched to have the crew bring the spectacle to the U.S.A."

Managing Director of Global Action Sports Michael Porra said, "The exciting city of Las Vegas is the perfect location to host the North American debut of Nitro Circus Live. We are bringing the greatest action sports stars of all time to the MGM Grand Garden Arena for our best show yet.  If the U.S. liked the TV show, they are going to be completely blown away seeing what the crew can do live."

Returning to his native Las Vegas, hometown legend and inspirational professional wheelchair athlete Aaron Fotheringham (USA) aka 'Wheelz' will perform his incredible world first feats off the Giganta for the first time in North America, displaying his arsenal of mind-boggling tricks. Joining him will be the following line up (subject to change):

  • Blake 'Bilko' Williams (AUS): 2009 X Games gold medalist in FMX
