X Games is hitting Buttermilk from January 23 to 25, and two EDM heavyweights will be headlining the Aspen event.

Disco Lines, a Boulder native who had a sold-out Red Rocks debut this year, will be performing on Friday, January 23. His most recent release, “No Broke Boys,” has been a global success, hitting number one on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of X Games, and Colorado is home,” says the producer. “Getting to headline in Aspen feels right. Between the X Games energy and the mountain backdrop, it’s going to be one of those weekends you don’t want to miss.”

Then, on Saturday, January 24, Alesso will bring his signature house music to the mountain. The Swedish producer is the first international recording artist to have two consecutive number-one hits on Billboard‘s Dance Radio.

“I’ve played some incredible stages around the world, but there’s something special about performing in the mountains at X Games,” Alesso says. “The combination of music and action sports creates a completely different energy. I can’t wait to be part of it.”

X Games was first held in Aspen in 2002, and has been happening at Buttermilk Mountain annually ever since. The inaugural X Games Aspen was the first time an X Games event was televised live, and it had record-breaking attendance.

For the 25th anniversary in Aspen, X Games will include all of its iconic winter sports events with more than 100 of the world’s best snowboarders, skiers and snowmobile riders competing. The daytime competitions are free to attend. You will, however, need to secure tickets to see Alesso and Disco Lines. In addition, Belly Up Aspen will be hosting X Games Music Week, with a lineup and tickets still to be announced.
