Deadmau5, Nas and Run the Jewels lead the musical lineup for the 2016 Winter X Games, set to take place January 28th through 31st at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.


Watch Metallica Perform 'Whiplash' at X Games »

Nas and Run the Jewels will kick off the X Games' official concert series on January 28th at 8 p.m., while the rest of the weekend will feature performances from Twenty One Pilots, DJ Snake and Kygo. A complete schedule is below.

Tickets for the individual gigs are available on the X Games website and most cost $35 for general admission and $50 for preferred access. For Saturday's doubleheader with DJ Snake (early set) and Deadmau5 (late set), GA tickets for the individual shows cost $25 and $50, respectively, and $40 and $65 for preferred; a GA ticket for both shows costs $65, and $80 for preferred. A six-show general admission All-Music pass is available for $150, while a preferred version runs for $200; the latter includes access to a private entrance, preferred viewing, restrooms and a cash bar.

Preferred access to the concerts is also included as part of a four-day platinum pass, which comes with various perks at the games and competitions, and retails for $1,799. As always, though, general admission to X Games events and competitions will be free to the public.



Along with the shows at Buttermilk Mountain, the 450-capacity Aspen venue Belly Up will host the same acts over the course of the week: Nas on Wednesday, January 27th, Twenty One Pilots on Thursday, the 28th, Run the Jewels and Kygo — as the early and late shows, respectively — on Friday, the 29th, Deadmau5 on Saturday, the 30th, and DJ Snake on Sunday, the 31st. Tickets for those concerts are available on the Belly Up website.

Both the Winter and Summer X Games have been ramping up their music offerings in recent years. Metallica headlined the festivities in Austin this June along with Nicki Minaj, Talib Kweli, Kid Ink, Pennywise, Deltron 3030, Joywave and Glitch Mob.

Metallica also partnered with the Glitch Mob for a remix of "Lords of Summer" — an eight-minute cut they debuted at a show in Bogotá, Colombia last summer — that served as the Summer X Games' theme song. The metal heroes also offered up a professionally mixed recording of their headlining X Games set, donating all proceeds to efforts to assist victims of the Central Texas floods earlier this year.

January 28 — Nas and Run the Jewels @ 8 p.m.

"There are no words for it," Miller says of working on a song that could appear on Nas' next album. "Just being able to go and make music with somebody on that level, and have them really respect what you do is pretty incredible."

Mac Miller overcomes drug addiction to work with Nas, stick it to Donald Trump

I'm not a Mac fan, but if it's dope :feedme:

that's crazy, Nas is my favorite rapper of all time but I do fukk with Mac Miller (even though apparently hes on that Drake not writing his own shyt steez) so that would be a dope cut to hear. But I wont get my hopes up because knowing Nas its going straight into the vault with a thousand other piff ass songs he doesnt deem worthy of release.

Need some new Nas shyt. It Was Written is my favorite album of all time. People sleep on that shyt for all the love illmatic gets a lot of rappers including Lupe, Game, Lloyd Banks etc give props to IWW for influencing there styles and just being piff. I wish Nas would do an IWW anniversary concert Id be there no doubt.

I would camp out in front of the concert, buy a tent, take a 2 week leave from my job to go to all the shows in the East coast, if that concert were to happen :damn:

Mac has really improved his pen game the last few years, and whats even better he's dope producer. He makes simple yet dark beats that would sound really good with Nas rhyming over them.

I'm excited
