Circus Extreme is set to bring a high-octane mix of live rock music, jaw-dropping stunts and family entertainment to Cardiff later this month as its brand-new production ROCK IT OUT arrives under the Big Top at Cardiff City FC.
The internationally renowned touring circus promises its “most electrifying production yet”, blending modern circus acts, extreme stunt performances and a full live rock band into one adrenaline-fuelled experience.
Launching exclusively in the UK for 2026, the new show has been years in the making and aims to combine the atmosphere of a live rock concert with the thrills of a traditional circus spectacle.
Among the headline acts is The Danguir Troupe, who will attempt the world’s first double somersault on the rotating Wheel of Death in the UK. The daring stunt is expected to be one of the most talked-about moments of the show.
Audiences can also expect explosive performances from the EXTREME® Freestyle Motocross Team, who will perform gravity-defying tricks including Superman grabs, cliffhangers and backflips high above the circus ring.
The action continues with the Globe of Death, where multiple stunt riders race inside a steel sphere at high speeds, performing vertical and horizontal loops while enduring intense G-forces.
High above the stage, Skywalker Marlon will showcase his aerial trapeze act packed with daring stunts, while Clown Katito will bring classic circus comedy and audience interaction throughout the performance.
Circus fans can also look forward to the Didyk Troupe’s Double Ukrainian Swing act, featuring huge swings, mid-air flips and precision acrobatics.
British circus performer Laura Miller will present an aquatic aerial ring routine combining fire, water and aerial artistry in a futuristic-inspired performance.
Adding even more danger to the line-up, internationally recognised daredevil Lucky Hell will perform her aerial sword-swallowing act suspended in the air using genuine stainless-steel swords.
South American stunt rider Paulinho will also take centre stage with a fast-paced street bike stunt display featuring wheelies, stoppies and burnouts.
For the first time in Circus Extreme history, the production will feature a full live rock band complete with singers and dancers, helping to create what organisers describe as a fully immersive entertainment experience.
The show will take place inside Europe’s largest touring Big Top, which features climate control and theatre-style seating for spectators.
