Tickets On Sale Now at XGames.com; Secret Walls Illustration Battle Added to X Games Austin
Fans can celebrate the final year of X Games events in Austin, Texas, at the X Games Austin Kickoff Bash featuring Chevy Metal with KLBJ at Stubb’s BBQ on Wednesday, June 1. The event will feature a performance by all-star cover band Chevy Metal. Fans can purchase tickets beginning today at XGames.com/tickets.
Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins teamed up with Wiley Hodgden and Mick Murphy to create the all-star cover band, Chevy Metal. A self-described ‘70s dirt rock cover band, Chevy Metal plays deep cuts from bands like Van Halen, Queen and Black Sabbath. The band has since played everywhere from small clubs to a Saturday Night Live season finale atop the 30 Rock skating rink, proving time and again that anything can happen at a Chevy Metal show – and everything that does happen rocks.
New to the X Games Austin event at Circuit of The Americas, Secret Walls will perform a live illustration battle over 90 minutes on a giant 60-foot canvas in the Vert Village area. A fixture in the global art community for over 10 years, Secret Walls is the world’s premiere black & white live art event. Two teams of artists armed with black markers & acrylic paint freestyle on a large canvas as the crowd cheers them on. Beginning in an East London bar, Secret Walls has performed over 1000+ shows all around the world including NYC, Hong Kong, Moscow, Sydney and now for the first time at X Games.
