'When we decided to bring back Extreme Thing, we knew we had to go cater to two different generations, and this delivers,' said Brian Saliba, founder and creator of Extreme Thing Sports & Music Festival. 'We have four stages covering the range of music Extreme Thing was known for, along with newer bands for a new generation of fans. It's 25 years in the making, and we're pumped to bring it back.'

The Smile Stage brings the ska and punk energy, with The Interrupters closing out the night alongside The Aquabats and The Casualties. Extreme Thing alums Voodoo Glow Skulls and Slow Gherkin make their return, while Roman Candle and Mexican Slum Rats kick off the day.

The Beer Zombies Stage turns up the volume with the return of The Ghost Inside and Las Vegas' own Escape the Fate, who first performed at Extreme Thing early in the band's career. Carnifex, Bleeding Through, Left to Suffer, Evergreen Terrace and Wristmeetrazor round out a stage packed with hardcore and heavy music.

The 601 Fremont Stage brings another dose of heavy music, led by Las Vegas' Molotov Solution. The lineup mixes things up throughout the day with Aurorawave, Vegas-born The Higher, Lady Radiator and The Dollheads.

The Rockstars of Tomorrow Stage will host local up-and-coming acts from the Battle of the Fans competition set to take place in the coming months leading up to Extreme Thing.

Beyond the music, the 2027 festival will bring back the action and experiences that made Extreme Thing a Las Vegas favorite, Freak Show Wrestling, Extreme Carnival, interactive fan experiences, lifestyle vendors, a food court and more.
