Fans now have the chance to see the death-defying stunts and mind-blowing tricks that have captivated sold out audiences worldwide when Nitro Circus Live, the most explosive live event to ever visit Shepparton, takes over the Showgrounds, Sunday March 19th.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Sunday October 16th, through www.nitrocircus.live
Nitro Circus’ daredevils, the greatest action sports stars on the planet, will perform the most incredible choreographed riding routines in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, skate and more for a theatrical spectacular area fans have never experienced before. Highlights include the explosive “Nitro Bomb” featuring all riders simultaneously flipping through the air. During FMX trains, riders slice and dice, wheel-to-wheel, mere inches apart before descending to earth for a smooth landing. The (in)famous 55-foot high Nitro Giganta ramp is the centerpiece of the action and launches brave Nitro Circus riders high above the crowds while attempting another flurry of jaw-dropping tricks on ridiculous contraptions like trikes, a recliner, a bathtub and much more.
Nitro Circus Live has sold out legendary arenas such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the O2 in London. More than 35,000 people packed Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium, site of the 2010 soccer World Cup final, for a massive 2014 show; 45,000 filled Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, the second highest attendance of any touring act at that venue. Now, Kamloops fans do not want to miss their chance to see Nitro Circus Live, locally in Shepparton.
The positive economic impact the tour will generate also means Shepparton businesses can anticipate receiving a major boost with the show’s arrival drawing thousands of people to their cities.
“Hotels, restaurants, bars and practically every other business in Shepparton will benefit from having Nitro Circus Live in town,” says Michael Porra, Nitro Circus CEO and creative director. “Through audience research we’ve seen that fans are blown away, saying it’s the most exciting show they’ve ever seen. We’re thrilled to bring an event that has sold out huge stadiums across the globe to these new cities.”
“Our touring party alone consists of 81 staff, including 36 athletes, plus 12 semi trailers trucking our gear around the country, Shepparton will know when we have arrived!’
‘I’d also like to applaud and thank the local Council, who were extremely influential in getting us to Shepparton, we will repay the locals with a night they will remember for a long time,’ Porra said.
