Nicki Minaj to headline ESPN's X Games Austin, other performers include Talib Kweli, Pennywise and Deltron 3030.
In an ESPN press release, the Circuit of The Americas returns to Austin, TX after its success last year.
Rapper Nicki Minaj will serve as headliner and perform on the new Super Stage, while Kweli, Pennywise, Deltron 3030 and more will all perform on The Sound Factory stage.
"I look forward to channeling the energy and spirit from the X Games into a performance Austin will not forget," Minaj told The Wrap.
X Games vice president, Tim Reed, also expressed his excitement for having Minaj perform at the event.
"We still have other headliners to announce in the upcoming months but the mix of Nicki Minaj with world-class athletes will make for a must attend event in Austin," Reed said.
X Games Austin will also introduce two new events; the Moto X Quarterpipe which will feature six riders showing their best trick off of a quarterpipe ramp and the Big Air Doubles which will combine BMX and Skateboard athletes together in a team competition.
The X Games Austin will take place from June 4-7. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 23.
