About Nitro Circus

Nitro Circus is the global leader in action sports live events, built on a simple and explosive premise: take the world's most fearless athletes, build the world's most ambitious ramps and courses, and let them do things no one has ever done before. Founded by Travis Pastrana — one of the most decorated and daring action sports athletes of all time — Nitro Circus has grown from a viral video series into a worldwide touring phenomenon that sells out stadiums and amphitheaters on every continent.

The Nitro Circus live show is not a televised stunt reel or a highlight package. It is a fully staged, production-level spectacle featuring live trick competitions, enormous custom-built ramps, massive air, and first-ever attempts at tricks that defy physics and common sense. Athletes compete across freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, scooter, inline skating, and a rotating roster of specialty disciplines that change with every tour. The crowd does not just watch — it participates, reacts, and becomes part of the energy that pushes athletes to attempt bigger and more dangerous maneuvers.

Nitro Circus has a dedicated and passionate fanbase across the Atlanta metro area, and the 2026 tour stop at Gwinnett Field marks a significant moment for action sports fans in Georgia. This is not a small club show or a regional exhibition — this is the full Nitro Circus production, the same show that packs arenas from London to Sydney, landing right in Gwinnett County for one night only.

What to Expect at Gwinnett Field

Gwinnett Field — officially Coolray Field — is the home of the Gwinnett Stripers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and it is one of the best mid-sized sports venues in the Southeast. Located along Buford Drive in Lawrenceville, the stadium offers easy access from I-85 and GA-316, with ample surface parking surrounding the facility. The open-air configuration of the ballpark makes it an ideal canvas for the massive custom ramp structures Nitro Circus builds for each stop on the tour.

For the Nitro Circus event, expect the playing field to be transformed into a custom-engineered action sports course complete with towering launch ramps, foam pit landing zones, and the signature Giganta Ramp — one of the tallest portable ramps in live sports entertainment. The stadium seating wraps the action, meaning virtually every seat in the house delivers a clear, unobstructed view of the course and the sky above it.

Concessions, merchandise vendors, and fan experience zones are all part of the Nitro Circus event footprint. Families with children, hardcore action sports enthusiasts, and first-time attendees all find their place at a Nitro Circus show — the energy is accessible and the production is genuinely world-class from the opening act to the closing trick.

Why Atlanta Fans Can't Miss This
