Circus Extreme is coming to town – here’s all you need to know to ensure you have a seat in the ring for this ultimate fusion of live rock and world-class circus stunts, which premiers in the UK.

ROCK IT OUT promises to be Circus Extreme’s most electrifying production yet. Years of preparation, practice and fine-tuning have resulted in this genre-defying spectacle, which promises to push the limits of live entertainment, combining adrenaline-pumping action, breathtaking acrobatics, and a powerful rock concert atmosphere like never before.

Prepare for jaw-dropping family entertainment

Merging modern circus, extreme stunts, classic clowning, and a full live rock band, ROCK IT OUT is a sensory overload designed to thrill, inspire, and captivate audiences of all ages.

At the heart of the show, the Catwall Acrobats will stun with their jaw-dropping trampoline wall act, launching themselves skyward with gravity-defying flips and mid-air somersaults, a display of agility and precision that has wowed crowds in over 30 countries.

The Danguir Troupe will take the spectacle to new heights with their Double Wheel of Death, where they’ll attempt—for the first time in the UK—the world’s first double somersault on the rotating wheel, a death-defying feat that demands absolute precision.

Adding to the high-octane action, the EXTREME® Freestyle Motocross Team will soar through the air, performing Superman grabs, cliffhangers, and daring backflips, creating a visually explosive battle for airspace under the Big Top.

For those seeking even more heart-stopping action, the EXTREME® stunt riding team will take on the Globe of Death, a steel sphere where multiple riders race at dizzying speeds, executing vertical and horizontal loops under G-force pressures similar to those experienced by fighter pilots.

The danger continues high above the stage with Skywalker Marlon, whose gravity-defying aerial trapeze act will leave spectators in awe as he executes mind-boggling stunts while soaring through the air.

Bringing a touch of classic circus magic, Clown Edy will ensure moments of laughter and joy with his hilarious improvisation and timeless comedic routines, keeping the audience entertained throughout the show.

Pushing the boundaries of extreme acrobatics, the Didyk Troupe will perform their sensational Double Ukrainian Swing act, launching themselves from massive swings with precision flips, twists, and mid-air somersaults that push the limits of human capability.

British circus icon Laura Miller will mesmerize with her aquatic aerial ring act, a seamless combination of fire, water, and aerial artistry that transports the audience into a visually stunning sci-fi-inspired world.

Raising the stakes even further, Lucky Hell, an internationally renowned daredevil, will take centre stage with her aerial sword-swallowing act, performing this death-defying stunt while suspended mid-air, using genuine stainless-steel swords in a jaw-dropping display of danger and elegance whilst South American stunt legend Paulinho will ignite the stage with his high-speed street bike performance, demonstrating precision wheelies, stoppies, and intense burnouts, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.
