WHAT’S ON STOCKHOLM: November 2019

November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.

With the all-new You Got This Tour, who knows what’s gonna happen! Watch Travis and company ramp up the shenanigans with the greatest, stupidest, funniest show in Nitro history.     

    “Nitro Circus is turning me loose!” Travis explains. “I’m throwing all of my best, and worst, ideas into one incredible two-hour show. Everything I’ve ever wanted to see live, we’re taking on the road. Expect bigger, brand-new ramps, even crazier stunts and so much more. It’s going to be unreal. Look out, though. There might be a few rough landings.”

    Nitro Circus: You Got This Tour will feature the best athletes in FMX, BMX, Scooter and Inline, including multiple X Games medalists and several Nitro World Games champions. Travis Pastrana will both lead this all-star international roster and challenge it to push the envelope in true Nitro high-risk, high-reward fashion. With all this plus a slew of new outrageous contraptions and more, You Got This is the Nitro Circus show you’ve been waiting for.

    Also new for You Got This is the Nitro Club experience. In addition to getting premiere seats, Nitro Club pass holders will have the opportunity to meet some of the athletes during an autograph signing session and afterwards have the chance to watch pre-show riding practice — hosted by Travis Pastrana. Nitro Club pass holders will also receive a souvenir laminate as well as a chance to win cool Nitro Circus swag.
